"Have a relative in the Cardiac care unit in Minot, live in or near Williston is reason enough. It is only 130 miles, but I wouldn't rely on one of these rigs to get me there.

Most of the oil rig crews out here would not make it from home to the oil rig and back on one charge, either.

But as a Minnesotan, (assuming you are from the Northern part of the state) would you trust one of these cars to keep you warm and get you where you were going in the winter?"

Sorry...I was just making a North Dakota joke, there. Obviously these little cars don't make much sense either in Minnesota or North Dakota. They do make some sense in other places, though.

I always try not to limit my thinking to my own needs and wants on things like this.

It's Okay, we know where the low pressure system is that works with the high over Montana that makes it so darned windy here, too...(8^D)

All joking aside, It would be dangerous to rely on something like this when the weather outside could kill you. I imagine that would go for areas where temps get murderously hot as well as winters here.

I wonder what plugging one of these in at every house on every block all over would do to peak load power consumption, too. (tune in for the 6 PM ET rolling brownout...)
