There is a horse drawn carriage operation in the Village area of town as well.The definition of Horseless Carriage
Not my favorite color either. But if someone gave me that car, I could learn to love blue.On my walk - not a fan of this shade of blue or most colors derived from the crayola six pack. View attachment 226520 View attachment 226521

Yea, what is the deal with the weird, solid'ish wheels on many EVs?
Neighbor has a Mercedes 'lectric with wheels that look to be an issue in a serious cross-wind.
Renault R5 in @Philpug's post has some.
Is there some sort regeneration benefit to that style of wheel?
The crosswinds aren't really a problem in cars with solid rims, not enough force to generate a significant moment. The big problem used to be cooling the brakes. I imagine most EVs use less brakes than ice cars so maybe that's not an issue. And it's definitely for aero reasons.Probably aerodynamics when going in a straight line.
