Oh! I've got you all beat! I live in South Carolina, so I've only had the car a week and have heard a lifetime of ridiculous comments, but this takes the cake. I had a truck driver come into my office while my leaf was charging out front. He asked how far it went on a charge, how long it took to charge, how much it costs, the usual stuff. Then it gets good:
Truck driver: "so when it runs out of charge, you just put gas in it?"
Me: "no, no gas ever, couldn't even if I wanted to"
Truck Driver: "have you ever tried?"
Me: "what do you mean?"
Truck Driver: "have you ever tried to put gas in it?"
I was so stunned I could only come up with "no, I haven't tried"
