To be the change I wish to see in others. Someone mentioned when DVD's, LCD TV's, microwaves, etc first came out and most people didn't want to change. These things were expensive at first. The reason we have $300 laptops now is because early adopters bought the $2000 laptops back in the day, then a lot more people bought the $1000 laptops a little later on, which kept manufacturers (and the investors behind them) interested in continued development. Unfortunately for those of us who were looking forward to 3D TV's, they came out at the worst possible time during a recession, and not enough people bought them at $2k-$3k, so that fad kind of died out. I know we could have 500 mile range cars for $25k one day, but ONLY if enough take the plunge now with what we've got available. One day we'll look back at a 70-80mile range and laugh, but sales of the Leaf and also Model S are large enough that people are noticing, and this time it's not just Hollywood enviro-hippies but real working class people like me. I love hearing stories on the board about co-workers who've converted, keep at it Leafers!
