So do you think the MB Outlander rather than the VW id.buzz is the true sweet spot?:

> Guy Bassini: Congratulations on your new ride and the Kesey/Wolfe reference. I went with a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV when my 2013 Explorer was demolished by a tornado. I wanted to buy an all electric, but the math didn’t work out. I am happy with my small SUV. I expect to buy about 6/7 gallons of gasoline about twice a year. I do run it as all electric most of the time and it is pretty zippy compared to the Ford four cylinder turbo...

I do know that the reality of "demolished by a tornado" was probably not as exciting or personally dangerous as it sounds, but it does make your life sound very interesting...
