Hey, we are almost into the next Friday!

This should be true if it wasn't for the cost of the batteries, and it’s why dealers hate electric vehicles because they require almost no maintenance.  Look at Tesla, they don't have physical service centers, they are in the cloud. 

There goes the dealers' biggest profit center and the jobs with it.

If you left out a car's transmission, internal combustion engine, steering gear to the driver, brakes, instruments and other systems that keep the driver informed, they should be dirt cheap, right?
