Electra Meccanica (three Wheel Electric) Email-11/2/15

You pay $100 for an oil change?!

Actually, I threw that number in there just to prove the point that even with really expensive oil changes, it'll be cheaper to own. On a side note, a sad side note, oil changes for my truck are always more than $100 if I let someone else do it. 13 quarts of oil and a filter are expensive.

Yep I went there and spanked the Herald for the Article.
Let's see if they let my comment stand on the page.

When it's all said and done, I'll end up owning two of the greenest and sharpest vehicles in the world.

BWG, $15,500 with only 1 option AC. Less the $2500 electric motorcycle tax credit still in effect. This little electric three wheeler might pay for itself with savings in gas and maintenance over a few years of driving time.

Canadian $15,500= $11,800-U.S.

Canadian $15,500= $11,800-U.S.

I think that $15,550 was already in US Dollars. The Electro Meccanica website shows the Solo starting at $19,888 in Canadian dollars.

thanks, just an aside, I was looking at the Piaggio 3 wheel scooter, which sells for MORE than our Elio!

Could you repaste the link? That doesn't go to where you probably intended. Or mention the episode number.
Thanks!
