Let me tell you about my neighbor, Sarah. She\she declared. \That\it\it felt like stepping into the future, but one I could actually afford. The initial skepticism about battery life melted away after talking to owners in online forums and my local mechanic (a no-nonsense guy who respects Toyota engineering).
