@ Bungi Bill & Simon: I live in LA where mass transportation is a joke. Some progress is being made with subways but there is the danger of earthquakes.

VI,
Sadly, that is the case in many places (Auckland, New Zealand, being one!)

Have I missed the promotional materials touting the benefits of electric vehicles that can pull 32' fully loaded private gooseneck trailers at reasonable highways speeds over a 2,000 mile trip? Or the OTR long haul semis?

Yah.. when the Tesla investors find out you can't use the Model 3 on your daily 22-hour commute from Berlin to Moscow and back with no stops underway they are going to be soooo screwed...

(The invention of the airplane, 2017 version)
Inventor: "This device, the airplane, can transport people or goods at speeds of 150 mph across the countries of Europe. It will revolutionize both travel, commerce, and warfare"
(pause)
Audience: "Have I missed the promotional material explaining how it can transport a million tons of coal across the Atlantic?"

Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed today, on the eve of the New York International Auto Show that the company plans to unveil its all-electric semi truck, called ‘Tesla Semi’, in September.

I just love my Prius so much, I put a V-6 in it, and it runs great! I'll keep it forever, well maybe.

We bought a used Prius last year for my husband's work car. He loves it; he loves that our gas bill has gone down by half. We use our van for travel, but around home it's the Prius.

I've driven hybrids (Toyota & Lexus) for the last 7 years and love them. For me it's simple: The economy of a diesel but without the rattle & noise. They are so smooth and quiet.
