Rufo is bang on. And the decay in the most left-wing of us cities is proof.

Science would have proven that this was a dumb idea long before it was attempted but this wasn’t about science - it was about virtue-signalling. 

It all depends. Drive lots of miles per year (more than 30,000 give or take) in a region where fuel prices are high and it might be worth it to put up with the diesel inconveniences. Otherwise- probably not.

Indeed they were garbage. And a safety hazard at anything over 50mph. 

Swappable batteries are the only way this tech will work in large scale. 

The correct answer is a 2012-14 Chrysler 300c with the hemi, radar cruise and killer Harmon kardon stereo. The later years have 8 speed trans - and get surprisingly good mileage

If you are looking for rusted out projects mr Tracy these are like looking for moby dick they are so rare due to how easily they corroded beyond saving (except by you, perhaps). 

Wow

As mentioned that might be a dollar a day savings at the most optimal conditions. Hard to see how that would ever offset the cost. 

Neighbor across the street has one. For the longest time when I heard it running I thought there had to be something wrong - it sounded so dieselly - not comprehending that it was in fact a diesel.

The buyer overpaid in both cases. 

You overpaid. 

and rusted away to nothing before the 1980s...

Classic case of the purchase price being far below the ultimate cost of making this thing roadable.
