The EV market is currently exploding and car buyers may think that buying a used EV will be worth it the same way you buy a used car. 
Now you need to stop and read this article and understand why that no longer applies to EVs and the big risks you take getting a used EV.

I guess for now until things change it's best to purchase directly a new EV until their circumstances change.

Telsa bitter cold

It looks like some Tesla owner's had to be towed during a recent cold spell in the Windy city and some user's even experienced slow charging times at charging stations. 

It's too bad that these users did not read their owners manual to keep the charge over 20 percent during the bitter cold. But if you are from the Windy city, then this is expected.

If you are using an old version of Teams take note that Microsoft will soon end support for the old application. Users will be forced to upgrade because of the new infrastructure.
