NY Times Wheels Article featuring Tony Williams

[SanDust]

Sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't find it. Here is a NY Times article about pilots being early EV adopters. It features our own Tony Williams and his range charts. Very cool. Worth a read.

That was quick. We spoke yesterday for fact checking, and a few days ago for the intro stuff. I'll have to read it tonight.

Way to go, Tony! I thought of you immediately when I started seeing headlines online that related to this NYT article.

I'm channeling up to the OC? Wow? Hey, for our meeting on Jan 7, we're going to have a drawing for T-shirts to entice you long haulers down! Plus, nearby charging, lots of principals speaking on QC (of which some will be in the OC). Come on down!

Anybody want another test for a big prize?

I forgot to mention here that in my email to Nissan I specifically pointed out Tony Williams as the one who flew up from SD to attend the Dec. 3 meeting at Google. I think Tony had some opportunity to talk with the Nissan folks so they should remember him and his passion for making the LEAF driving experience better.

There's a photo of Tony talking with Nissan's North American Director of Quality for EV's on our Facebook page

Does this put Tony up into the rockstar status now and where women may soon start throwing their underwear at him
