I’m Shaking Like a Leaf.

I got a pretty sweet notification from Touchstone Energy about some additional rebates available on the Nissan Leaf. I decided I needed to look at the $7500 Federal Tax Credit available on electric vehicles and how it works. Also, if you want a Tesla or a Chevy, ACT FAST! The tax credits on these end soon. Find out more at fueleconomy.gov.

Let me know your questions and comments via email or find me on Twitter and Instagram or by giving the show a rating on your favorite podcasting app. Also, you can tell me I have an accent- it came with the territory. I’m just trying to convince people that EVs are the way to go even in small-town America. Help me spread the word. Thanks for listening.

Is Vandalizing A Tesla A Hate Crime?

Of course it depends on your definition.  I saw a video captured by a Tesla’s sentry system where a woman “keyed” a Tesla in a parking lot for no apparent reason.  What was her motivation? Is she a serial keyer? Or is she just jealous of people who own nice things? What is wrong with people these days?  To say the least, it ticked me off and has me questioning humanity.
