Well, as expected... I was the only two-wheeler to show up.  It was pretty cool, they had several electric cars available for demo rides:  Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leaf, BMW I3, and the one EVERYONE was interested in:  A Tesla Model 3.  I had a few people ask me if my Zero was available for test rides, but I referred them to the local dealer.

I got a chance to drive the Model 3.  The interior and dash is VERY plain, but it drives very nicely and it flattens you into the seat when you mash the accelerator.

All in all, a GOOD day and I got to preach the benefits of electric TWO-WHEELERS over those heavy and EXPEN$IVE four wheelers they had there.

Sounds like you had some fun, and maybe you can get some more two-wheelers next time.

And yes, 100 wh/mi is possible on a Zero!  A Tesla Model 3 can get close, but at 1/3 the speed.

Sorry I missed it.  Sounds fun.  I will try to make the next one even though I may still be driving my ICE by them.
