    Reminder for those in/near So Cal. It's coming up soon!

    Lots of vehicles to test drive and see: AltCar Expo.

    There was no sales pressure on the test drives. Good stuff!

    I test drove a Coda, FFE (they were very rare beasts last year), Fit EV (ditto about being rare last year), Wheego (what a joke), Leaf, Volt, PiP, Rav4 EV (a few days after they went on sale), Kia Optima Hybrid, Kia Rio w/auto-start/stop (didn't work well), Civic GX/CNG, a bunch of hydrogen FCVs and probably a few other cars.

    I unfortunately won't be there this time. If I lived a lot closer (300+ miles each way isn't close for me and I'm sometimes pretty busy w/work), I'd probably be there.

    I was thinking about going to the one in San Francisco coming up soon. What are my chances of being able to drive a Tesla?

    I was unaware of this. :eek: I was only aware of National Plug In Day.

    Maybe there's a chance at the Santana Row events since Tesla has a store there. Unfortunately, those are on weekdays and I have work...
