Had another first over the weekend: a guy pulled over a minivan while I was reinstalling the LED pack monitor (in the driveway). He wanted to see the car and show it to his two sons who were with him.

Turns out he's a mail man, and he'd seen Ivan driving by in the car a couple of weeks ago and noted the lack of noise. "It must be electric!" he correctly surmised.

He recognized the car when he was going by so stopped to come over for a chat. I gave him the full tour and promised to stop by his house next time I'm in his part of town so he can have a closer look at it in action.
