Mister Rogers electric car - Episode 101

Listen Later

Would you believe that Mister Rogers once drove an electric car on an episode of Mister Rogers Neighborhood back in 1981?

Of course it was nothing like the electric cars we think of today such as the Tesla, Chevy Volt or Prius from Toyota, but it is still pretty interesting to see that people have been working to create these vehicles for decades now.

I also want to again take a moment to thank everyone for listening to the show, the recent growth of the past few months has been encouraging as it gives us some idea that our format tweaks are helping to create a better show.

But still, we would love to hear from you to see what are some of your likes & dislikes so we can keep future changes in mind.

Thanks!
