Interesting, wonder if'n they'll offer a lighter lower powered version, since my biggest complaint in current electric car development is that it's all focused on more power/range

Too tired to say much, drove from Hazelwood to St Joseph, 287 miles each way, left around 1030, arrived home around 0200. And Friday had been 10 hours and 110 miles of deliveries, I'm knackered.
