I understand what they were going for. Batteries are heavy, so keep the car light and nimble and completely impractical as anything but a local commuter.

Ooof. So we only have street parking here, but we have a public charger just steps from the house (not Tesla)

I’ve got a few years left on the Mazda. If the leaf can get access to Tesla chargers I might be game.

EVs are such a mess in North America. Unless I want a Tesla it feels like I can only get gigantic SUVs or expensive luxury cars.

I just want to replace my Mazda 3 with an electric equivalent

Yes that exactly. His recall is AMAZING, but only when he feels like it. Often he’ll run in the opposite direction, pee on a tree and then come running to me at 50kph. Whippets were bred to be independent hunters so they make their own decisions.

Also be warned about 1/3rd of the whippets we know have a big squirrel body count and can’t really be let off leash. Bowie is not a killer and we’re grateful for it.

Slightly crazy. Super unreliable. Needs a coat in the winter. Will tunnel under your bed sheets and kick you in the stomach. Extremely clingy.

So much personality. Amazing to watch run. Ridiculously cute. Phenomenal cuddlers. They love you with all their hearts.

We’re Whippet people for life 🧡

We had no idea 😮

Have you tried heaps of raw meat as motivation?

Ruff crowd 😁
