We left Toronto on September 4 and have been touring Italy with our Italian teacher, in a van, then off on our own in a Fiat 500/x. We see the occasional M3 and even rarer MS, mostly on the autostratas and rarely in the cities. Although there appears to be strong showing of solar power usage, we only encounter one or two charging stations - CCS of cours.
Truthfully, after some harrowing driving through Perugia, Centro de la Citta, I had visions of our experiences in Sicily where we had left parts of our beautiful V60 Volvo rental, in an narrow turn, in town. The car had finally made it through, at the expense of mirrors, fenders, quarter panels and a tyre. We literally had to fold in the mirrors to get out of the center of town (very old), with it’s cut-throat narrow streets and impossible turns, with cars parked there too!
I think I would have a heart attack trying to drive a Tesla through them. Coming home this Thursday. If you choose to drive in Italy, it’s a whole different style. You either “go native or go hime”…
