She said, “[I] drove it from Michigan to here this last weekend and went by every single gas station and it didn’t matter how high it was.”
She was widely mocked on social media for her “let them buy Teslas” moment.

The smile quickly left her face when a reporter asked what source of electricity was being used to charge the vehicle.
“It’s coming from the building,” she replied.
The reporter clarified, “What’s your mix of power?”
