Not legal in most states and counties.

The type of woman I would be interested in would jump at the chance to go for a drive (with me) in a Ryland styled car (probably why I'm still single).

I'm just pointing out the nature and tendency of men and women to make decisions based on appealing to the opposite sex. This often involves displays of excess and rarely has anything to do with rational thought.

If people (remember, I speak in generalities) really thought EVs were cool, they would be paying a premium to drive them. When I visited Miami, I saw steady streams of Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but no EVs.
