I’m glad that a lot of Tesla buyers are in Norway. Up here in Alaska, it’s -23 degrees right now outside my window, a temperature that normally sucks the juice right out of a battery.

In any case, electricity is running about 90 cents a kilowatt hour - which means that $7.80 per gallon price we’re paying for gasoline is still a bargain, relatively speaking.

I agree with the post about packing enough energy to drive 300 miles into the size of a suitcase, then being able to recharge it in five minutes. It gets cold up here, but it’s never been too cold to burn something.

Just a wild guess, but I’d say vehicles like Porsche, BMWs and Tesla’s are not the type of vehicle ya want in Alaska...Ya better stick to pickup trucks.
