On a side note I was wondering why people purchase EV’s? What is their reason? Cost of fuel? Save the Planet? (That’s a joke in itself) What are your thoughts?
I bought a Tesla about 3 1/2 years ago. I had a couple of reasons:
1) I wanted to buy it while I was still working and could afford it.
2) I like technology and wanted it because of that.

I now have a 3rd reason. As a woman, I don't want to break down on the side of the road. With a gas car that can happen unexpectedly at any time. But with a Tesla, if there is something wrong with the car, it will tell you. I just feel safer!
