The last time (my first time) I was at a dragstrip was 10/24/1998 at Milan Dragway in Milan, Michigan on my Honda CBR600F3 motorcycle (12.939 at 117.82) Tonight was the second time, at 1/8 mile Immokalee Regional Raceway.

I keep looking in-car and in-app for this mythical “2024.14.6” I see mentioned in youtube but there is no notice. I just keep seeing: Software: v11.1 (2024.3.25 somecodenumber) -

I had no love for it since intro and still none in all the recent youtube videos. It is not photogenic lol But I kept an open mind. Finally saw one in real life at the West Silver Springs Ocala, FL supercharger … and it looks great :D Personally I would wrap it in a clear PPF, just to make...

well I don't have a lead foot but I do have a passing foot :p

They were pretty surefooted in the wet at highway speeds, including thru curvy Virginia I-95. In town in NY, one a wet day recently, there was one instance where I was getting on to these things called parkways. Think four lanes across, no traffic lights, a very local highway if you will. One...

I was initially disappointed to find that my 2024 MYP came with Hankook ION EVO AS vs Michelin Pilot Sport AS but those Hankooks are very quiet on the highway. In 3400 miles I’m at 296 wh/mi (might be 295). A lot of highway miles, did a road trip from FL to NY and back

Unbeknownst to me, but apparently knownst to everyone else, is that you only go THROUGH virginia AT NIGHT lol

I took some video. Made it three parts. I tried to embed playlist but no joy lol

there seems to be about a 4% cost overnight for Sentry mode. I’m fine hopping in, heading over to the SC* and plugging in while I in-car plan my stop(s) to my destination. * I deliberately choose SCs and hotel that are in close proximity, less than 5min driving time

pumping gas vs pumping electrons is a different mindset. I got my first ever full EV this past April 19 and did my first ever long range this past week, FL to NY. It’s just …. different. I knew it would be different. I didn’t know in what way but simply kept an open mind. Instead of...

The Plaid reads as having better brakes (not just painted red)

I test drove a 2023 MYLR and ended up leasing a 2024 MYPerf. The MYPerf is a better riding vehicle in every way. The suspension damping is better sorted, the ride is quieter and it has more power (obviously). I got the Performance for the occasional track day and did wonder about how...

You saw the finger wag right? ;) Tappan Zeeeeee …… say it with me …… TAPPAN …… ZEE …… -

I used three methods: ABRP, very customizable, including desired charge levels Google Maps. It recognizes ‘supercharger’ as a search term Finally the Tesla online planner. It gave me an idea of supercharger locations to then cross-reference in the ABRP and Google Maps. I purposely chose...
