I do not know what it is about mail carriers but ours now waves at us even when he is anywhere on our road and makes a point of giving us our mail even if he has not finished delivering everyone at our mail boxes.(We live on a private road and our mail is delivered to boxes on the county road).I had another Tesla Moment (tm) with my new mail carrier. I happened to be stepping out of the car when the carrier walked by and he handed me my mail. Then he did a double-take on the car.
Him: Wow, nice car! I thought it was a Honda Civic at first, but then looked again. It's a sports car, right?
Me: It's more like a sporty sedan.
Him: How much was it?
Me: It starts at 60, but this one is around 80 b/c of the battery.
Him: What?? Sixty thousand? It's very nice, but not a sport car?
Me: It's all electric.
Him: It uses some gas right? I just heard your car turn off.
Me: That's the fan for the battery b/c it's 100F out here.
Him: So...do you have to get gas?
But
Me: No, you just plug it in! (at this point, I had to show him the cable and the charge port to convince him)
Then we had a short conversation on range, etc. I guess he recently got a Honda CRV but now has a new car to lust after.
