driven 100,000 miles over 10 tens will have reduced range. if the car had 70 mile range (real range, not the rated estimate) then after 5 years and 50,000 miles had a 50 mile range, you might not be so happy. a period of time, is much better than trying to form a whole wardrobe in one week! if you can develop a well made closet in a week, please be my guest! i, however, will continue, and never stop developing my closet with well made clothing!
