SELF-INDULGENCE

 

This thing leaves me shaking my head. It’s a Tesla Cyber Truck, something that looks like a patrol car from a futuristic police state. These things cost $80-100,000 and make me think about the good that money could do. Social reasons notwithstanding, I would never buy something that puts another dollar in the pocket of that most self-indulgent person, Mr. Musk.                    

Enviornmentally Friendly

Not surprisingly, the Earth Day festival had a display of electric cars. Three of them were Teslas, the luxury rocket of no-emission vehicles. Note the storage space where the engine would normally be. My son had a chance to drive one once. He said it went from zero to OMG in near-complete silence. 

They make me drool but are a wee bit out of my price range.  So, back to my slightly worn but very well made Honda. Much more practical.
