I gave myself two options: Find a more fun EV (let’s be honest, the Leaf corners like a worn-out recliner) or stick with a basic EV for the commute and find…

Not only that, but Musk’s efforts here are actually fucking up public support for real, non-fictional, technologically sound public transportation and infrastructure projects (“Why should we support high speed rail? Cancel all of it - let’s just wait for the hyperloop instead! Elon says it’s going to cost 1/10 the…

So did they deliver on the “What if” PR?

In which case, here’s the leasing guide for the Ghibli:
