If they eventually do it at the Okahumpka Travel Plaza, you can actually get on the Turnpike off of 301, drive down and recharge and then get back...without paying any tolls. :shrug:[/QUOTE]

If you can afford a Tesla then saving a couple dollars for a charge isn't important, not to mention the inconvenience of hanging around a turnpike plaza for a long time.

Or, since I heard the state tax subsidies/exemptions for solar cars will be so humongous...should I hold out until they pay me to buy one?

Decisions, decisions. decisions.

:D

I'd like to nominate you for Best Post of the Day.

No all-electric car for me (just as I will never own another electric golf cart.) But I would consider a hybrid if I could always have a gas engine to fall back on.

To the point of the quote above. Libertarian TV personality John Stossel had a program a few years ago where he featured his golf cart which he obtained for FREE using various government tax incentives. (Electric I believe.) :a040:

As soon as word got out that this could be done, the government changed the incentive program so that no one else could get one for free.

The newer Prius Prime is a plug in hybrid....I am very impressed with it. This is what Toyota said they tried to make the Prius Gen IV, but did not have the time, etc.

It is worth checking out.
