I hate to say it and sound negative about it, but regardless of all their negatives these cars are our society’s future. They are the fun buzzz word politically and with young kids coming out of high school and college. I spent the last four years at the Toyota proving grounds and like it or not it is our future. I saw/see so many issues that I hate them, yet I know I can’t fight the system. I just hope we can keep some of our old relics.
Twenty years ago a friend of ours (a welder repairman) ran an electric dragster at the same strip we did. He had the fastest electric dragster in the world. He had big companies from all over the world bring their stuff to run against his car,and they all lost miserably. He would just say it was all in the batteries. Well his battery supplier got bought out by one of the big company teams he embarrassed and he lost access to the batteries, and then lost his title. Much has changed in 20 years now.
