    Awesome, Honda should pay you for that.
    I think it is too late for you to add more info in your poster, but since you are comparing Base model Clarity with Base Chevrolet Volt and Base Toyota Prius Prime you should show that Honda Clarity included all safety features: Honda sensing (CMBS, RDM, ACC, LKAS), Honda lanewatch in Base model.

    That's an outstanding presentation! I've only had mine a week so I'm still learning, but that sort of pulls it all together for me.

    They'll call you Clarityman after this :) Great work!

    You should add a line under the Clarity that says 'Honda' and one under the Volt that says 'Chevrolet'! In all seriousness, I do sort of take it as an advantage of this car that it's built in Japan. I have a Munich-built BMW--at least for a while, but this will replace it--and I always liked that too.

    Going back to 1986, all 7 of my Honda cars have been made in Japan. I don't know if I'm ready for the new Honda Insight that Honda decided had to be built it in the US, which forced it to be a sedan instead of the Insight's traditional hatchback (all Civic hatchbacks come from the UK).

    The Tesla tax credit hasn't expired. It has started its downward ramp. The full credit is still available for all deliveries through the end of December. Then it cuts in half for the next two calendar quarters, then half again for two more calendar quarters. Then it's gone...at the end of 2019.

    Oops, I misinterpreted the headline that Tesla had sold more than the 200K cars allowed by the federal EV tax credit program. Well, one of the purposes of my informational poster board was an attempt to tweak Tesla owners at the event, but they mostly ignored me and my Clarity.

    They have sold more than the 200,000 cap. That is when the downward ramp starts. It doesn't disappear all at once.

    Again, thanks to all who helped me prepare my presentation for the National Drive Electric Week event in Ann Arbor. Someone just sent me this photo of me at the event, using the diagrams you helped me refine to explain the Clarity's technology. Our Clarity is in the background. I'm wearing the cherished Insight baseball cap Honda gave me in 2000.
