Off gridders attending the Goomeri Lifestyle Expo showed little interest in the low slung, sexy Model 3 - and for good reason.

My Tess was probably the most inappropriate electric vehicle to have atin country Queensland. Many times that last weekend, I wished I had a Ford F-150 Lightning or a Tesla Cybertruck.
Although many people stopped and asked the usual questions, some curious and a few having a go, it was obvious that I was two years too early.
