I'll always enjoy seeing the Hertz Polestars around town.
Meanwhile, Adelaide car dealer just called about insurance and financing for my new Zeekr 7X that is due onshore next month, probably January for delivery after its fit out.
No VIN yet.
Maybe I'll lease this time, or at least look into it.

Honoured to be guest speaker to talk about my EV experience at this year's Kangaroo Island Eco-Action annual general meeting, held at Strepera reserve on the north coast.
Afterwards we went out to check out the Polestar, although there were Kona and Atto owners there, so preached to the converted.
