Electric cars, on their face, are a great idea. They are faster and have less moving parts and are easier to fix. They appear to be the future, however, many bugz to work out first.
I am occasionally forced to work with a hospitalist who has little-man’s syndrome and just can’t stop talking about his Tesla and how fast it is. So, in front of staff, I asked him if he would like to race for one year’s salary and pink slips. He said ‘Sure! I’ll smoke your Benz’. Yeah, OK little man. So I replied while heartily extending my arm for a gentlemanly bet-affirming handshake, ‘GREAT!, let’s race from here (Erie, PA) to the first craps table by the boardwalk door at Caesar’s in Atlantic City. First one to get a glass of booze and place a bet wins.’
Little man fell silent.
Herein lies the one of the problem with electric cars.
