Overview:

 It was recently pointed out to us for like the 8th time that the blog is kind of hard to traverse since there's a number of different topics interleaved. We're putting this, basically an index, here at the top.

The most read post: The $15K Tesla: 6500 mile roadtrip 

and yes ELON is a Flaming Asshole, everyone already knows, stop with those comments, which don't get approved anyway. Try and find a major Car Mfgr CEO who is Not an anus. Granted they have quieter mouths and good PR departments. There's only two or three nice-ish ones we can think of.

The second complaint, that it's too much of a 'wall of text' seems to come from people who are not comfortable reading all that much. This, and many blogs in general are targeted at people who get their information from written pages. If you are not one of those, well, it's not something we're going to fix.  Note: Not all topics are currently updated, but many are. It will usually say.

COST Comparison/Economics

Tesla for cheap. Hertz + Fed-Used EV credit + Oregon EV Credit

Gas Price Equivalency.  What is that MPGe anyway

Charging Infrastructure.  Why one approach is winning
               Charging Connectors Continuation of the above topic

Tires and Wheels make a difference.  30-40 miles more range from a tire/wheel swap


EV Traveling
