I bought new aluminum pedals from Ev Tuning Solutions at the EV meet-up at Hebert's Candy Mansion yesterday. Brian, thanks for taking the time to install them at the event! EV Tuning Solutions They look great!

All is well. Tesla reimbursement is now in hand. Thanks for being there Tesla roadside assistance!

This truck was big enough for us to jump in. Double cabin. Still waiting on Tesla to compensate for the tow.

I got lucky. The dents didn't damage the paint, so they were able to pop them out and buff it up. Came out perfectly. Took one day.

We just piled into the tow truck, which had a double cabin.

I am happy to report that the tire shop followed through, and paid for the repair without issue. They handled the situation professionally from beginning to end. The battle scars are gone (thank you Hollis Autobody) and proper tire installed. Good as new!

They told me they were delivering 55 cars per week. Already outgrew the site.

Greatest Tesla moment ever... My 13 year old son said to me "Porsches are no longer cool". And he doesn't even know about the P100D. I love that boy!

I refer you to this thread: Roadtrip Niagara & Telsa Lifestyle I didn't have a spare or slime kit then, but will for future road trips.

@cranker2k my previous car was a 535 msport, with low profile Runflats. They felt like I was riding on bricks, and were unforgiving with potholes. You so much as looked at a pothole, and wham - tire compromised. Sure you could ride on them for a while, but they shouldn't have been so fragile...

Thanks Alan. I was sweating bullets there. The tow truck driver was the real hero, he hung in there with me, hoping from one to the next and making calls to find a shop, all while calls were coming in for another tow. I even asked him if towing me to Niagara Canada was a possibility, and he...

Canadian, eh?

True that!

Yeah, it crossed my mind, but it was a busy weekend tourist-wise (as you might be able to see in the pic), and I thought the attempt was best avoided. So, no bonus points for me.

The 100 pack at 315mi is cool, but my 90 isn't so bad:
