Sounds nice, but all touch screen control murders it. 

If someone has possession of a car without any witness to a purchase agreement or anything in paper, and no proof they had paid anything at all, it seems like a legally open and shut case. You return the property or the police should seize it and arrest him if he doesn’t return it immediately because at that point…

So it was a Broccoli Rob-bery?

This is not unlike other ways police have excuses to go fishing for other offenses. They stink but are nothing new and are widely upheld. 

It would be nice to hear more about how they are getting that range. Is it simply stuffing in more battery, lowest drag coefficient, total weight, battery chemistry, etc.
