I have to ask - are the windows manual or electric? I can't decide which makes more sense.

Which make more sense probably depends on how much you use them. I'd think that, over time, the weight savings would probably pay off more since one tends to roll the windows down/up only once per trip, tollbooths excluded. But . |

very nice. Now, how do I get heated seats in my Lotus? Us New Englanders can extend the driving season a bit with those.

Actually I found a company in the bay area that will install them as well as lumbar massage, for 1k. I'm thinking about doing it. Will let you know how it goes, although it may be a while.

Yeah! WTF? I definitely would have rolled out the red for you babe. Tesla made a grave mistake. I'll go throw string cheese at their faces in retaliation.
