Tesla owner comments on the Mirage...

Got several comments from a Tesla Model 3 owner yesterday:

Q1) "What's that on your hatchback? Are you an engineer?"

Me: "No, but I play one on the Internet!"

Q2) "Is that a Honda Fit? "

Not sure if Mitsubishi should take that as an insult or a compliment. Given their underdog status, I'm thinking compliment.

We ended up having a long-ish conversation about the aeromods on the Mirage and his M3. He had empty roof racks on his car and said he thought they affected his range by "around 5%"... But the car's range is good enough that he doesn't worry about it.
