#Tesla is basically the #Apple of the car world - great products that are unfortunately locked or semi-locked into a “walled garden”, whilst being *massively* over-priced… But this *is* pretty awesome and beats the #SNES I have in my #Toyota #Camry #Hybrid .

EVs (alongside gas cars) thrived in the 1900 to 1919 period before the fateful choice to our climate of favoring internal combustion.

In fact, there were even hybrids!

The electric or gas Wood's Queen Victoria. Made in Chicago. Electrics were cleaner cars w/ fewer mechanical parts and commonly were marketed to women.
