Have you ever driven/owned an electric? It's a revelation. You'll never see loud, smelly, high maintenance gasoline cars the same way again. The Tesla S is the pinnacle of electrics (for now); no real range anxiety, and with the network of superchargers, you can actually take it cross-country. But even the lesser electrics have many of the same virtues, like the quiet drive, instant torque, far shorter maintenance list, and the incredible convenience of home charging.

When I was little I collected post cards from travel and other peoples travel. Although i suspect that was a way for my parents to get me souveniers and not spend much as they suggested it.
now i collect coins. I started when i found a penny from 1897.

The model s is a fascinating beast. My test drive was better than was pitched. Quick and responsive. It shows what can be and they will produce cheaper models but i doubt the average daily drive will show the difference.
Actually building a solar charging station is possible. So you may not be tired to the grid in terms of charging.

Also, there's this:
Granted, that's sales weighted and therefore includes a lot of (somewhat more efficient) Nissan Leafs, but really, relative to the class it's participating in, the Model S wins over the ICE competition in carbon footprint even in the worst grid regions, and that's assuming you don't install your own solar, or switch to a renewable energy plan (it actually turned out to be cheaper for me to switch to a plan that was 100% renewable than the mostly coal plan I used to be on, although I'm not charging an EV from it).

I dunno, I bet quite a few of us have ear rings, or studs and piercings or tattoos whatever? Like them an expensive watch is jewelry, but unlike them it has a limited practical use as well.
