Assuming you could afford to, would you buy a new Tesla car ?

@DrWatson Cold climate or not, I would not trust one to park it in my garage. I know someone who had a truck (they later got recalled) that shorted out and set their home on fire in the middle of the night. The family got a settlement from the auto company and moved away, and they’ll never park a vehicle in a garage attached to the house again.

@DrWatson Good point!

@DrWatson Also ... our previous auto was a Prius, which I loved. But, electric vehicles are light in weight and don't do ice or packed snow very well. As I recall, the owner's manual had warnings about spinning wheels with no traction.
