Yep, I went to the North American Auto Show yesterday. Took some pics of the new Mercedes electric vehicle and pictures of the Tesla display which was a surprise to see.

The Mercedes concept was really the only electric vehicle that I thought was worthy of pictures. Honestly, the Volt doesn't look very aerodynamic at all, not to mention I couldn't get close enough for pictures. And all the others were wayyy to futuristic that the designs would definitely have been changed a lot before they ever even got close to production.

Wheel Skirts!!! AWESOME!

Smooth wheels!!! AWESOME!

Headlights looked awesome!

And a full view from the side.

And the only literature they had:
