side note I know the service manager, he’s a good guy.
You'd best be damned glad I reminded you of that, Chuck. You owe me....well....something...I think...

Morning Mick^^^

Had a bit of schadenfreude this morning. Guy who I used to work with at my former employer, and that I got a job for with my current employer, told me the former employer (confused yet?) closed down the entire division we worked in. I knew they sucked, and I thought their methods were unsustainable, but I have to admit, it feels good to have one's decisions validated. I am very glad I left for many, many reasons. This is the cherry on top.

I will call my local guy and tell him you are set. Must be nice to have that kind of pull.

Interesting, quiet, smooth operation and brisk, linear acceleration. I'm old school, could get used to the massive monitor in the middle of the dash. This could not/ would not be my primary vehicle but could be an around town car (metro commuter) or richer man's toy. Some improvements yet to be made in this technology ie: lower cost replacement batteries. Round trip I'll have about 70 miles on it when I bring it back. Kind of fun, but the national grid is also not ready.

I hope to heaven you didn't touch that display button during installation, Stan.

That massive 259 mile range makes it the perfect vehicle to follow a group of motorcycles, everyone can gas/charge up at the same time....ooops, except you'd be a few hours behind after the first stop. Never mind.
