My first ever supercharging experience, someone did this to me. Before this, I had no idea.

Day to day or ever? I think most EV drivers do not want a "road trip never" kind of vehicle. I could be wrong, but just my thoughts. I commute 95% of the time too and charge at home, but I like to take vacations where I drive many miles away from time to time.

There is zero competition now or ever, until they get their nationwide reliable fast charging network. Until then, there is only two choices 1) Tesla or 2)buy an EV for a commuter car only. Pat

Nice write up. I agree 100% with auto high beams being trash and unsafe. Also, the maps aren't even remotely as good as other products available for some reason. That could be fixed with the flip of a switch if the narcisist in chief would allow it, but instituting Car Play.

I also bought mine in 12/20 for around $55k. I think I will probably look at an actual luxury EV when I am ready to buy, but ONLY if there is an actual nationwide reliable fast charging network. That is the one thing that makes Tesla worth it by a mile.

I appreciate your post. I am about to do a little trip with my 1000 lb Sea Doo trailer. I was told to expect about 450 Wh/mi with that. We shall see! Thanks, Pat

I'd pay $100 to use it on a long road trip, but that's it.

I do this exact thing. No issues. If mobile service does it, I am sure it's fine.

My passenger front seat rattled like that. Drove me insane. After 4 visits, they replaced the entire seat under warranty because they could never find the cause. No more rattle.

I also wish there was a bike rack more to turn off the sensors and to prevent the read door from opening remotely.

I love my Model Y, but after the same vehicle I bought in December 2020 has gone up in price more than $10,000 for essentially the same thing, I will look at the competition for sure when I am ready for another vehicle. The price is quickly rising itself out of "reasonableness" in my opinion.

I love my all black everything Model Y. It looks better than any other color by far, when clean. All the other colors, you see the contrast of the cheap plastic in the back and you don't on the black car. That right there is reason enough to get black. It looks terrible on white to me.

I use a 90 degree lock from Curt. It fits well, despite having to lay down on the ground to get at it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T9N6DRI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Tesla mobile service uses one jack point. I have used it many times. It works great. Nonsense to say you need two jacks because you don't.
