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.

And…lots of bugz too

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.
