I suspect you're joking.<br /><br />On the other hand, I totally believe that you are so buried in resuscitating that old Honda that you could have managed to miss the buzz around Elon Musk.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-34358011788672993392016-06-14T17:27:05.820-04:002016-06-14T17:27:05.820-04:00Thanks Ed.

I think he does have Canadian citizenship via his mother who is from Saskatchewan. <br /><br />His ties to various spots around the world make the alien hypothesis somewhat more likely. It might easily be the way and alien might craft an ID, not realizing that the mix of origins might look a little fictional and improbable.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-75523762951469479182016-06-14T17:23:57.200-04:002016-06-14T17:23:57.200-04:00Around the USA with a Tesla, now that must have be...Around the USA with a Tesla, now that must have been an adventure. Any idea how long those quick charges were? Were they at Tesla sites, 220V sites, or just plain old 110V?<br /><br />I test drove a Lexus and didn't like it because the steering was drive by wire. Felt like there was a computer between me and the front wheels (which of course there was). People rave about the Tesla experience though.

A friend of ours stopped here on Wednesday after driving his Model S Tesla from upstate NY across the country to CA and then back via FL before heading home again. He stopped every 200 or so miles for a "quick charge". Not a drop of oil or gas the entire trip! We went out for a ride one evening but for my money, I still like seeing the driver do more of the steering than the computer. It was impressive but I've seen computer crashes that required a reboot! I guess I am getting old. Fast doesn't describe the power we felt as it was demonstrated on a quick 0 - 60. Musk, he maybe the next Thomas Edison but only time will tell. For now, I'll continue to enjoy my Vespa for smile rides.
