Can you upgrade parts of an electric vehicle to improve performance? Can you "tune" an electric vehicle? I honestly don't know; I don't own one and was never into tuning my vehicles for performance. I think that hobby is

In my 20 years of software experience the soft delete is not so often used to undelete something, but more often used to know what has been deleted. If you delete a record from a table, did it ever exist? Can you reference that customer
