I'm certain it had a positive effect for their brand and possibly helped entice a few more souls down the path of sustainable transportation.

Ten minutes was all it took to do both jobs…I didn't end up paying a penny because all the work was covered under warranty and I had a really easy and enjoyable experience, chatting to the friendly, knowledgable tech and managing everything with a few clicks through my phone.

Naturally the sustainable energy transition will actually end up costing less than continuing on the current path of fossil fuel investment and subsidies ($10 Trillion vs. $14 Trillion), and the grid will require about half the total generation (82 PetaWatt-hours / yr compared to 165 PetaWatt-hours / yr) due to the vastly greater efficiency of renewables.
