    First two months and Long trip report

    We’ve had the car for two months next week. And we’re completely enamored with it. Commuting, it’s a stunner. Basically cut gas cost by over 75%! Charging at home on a 240 in the garage is so nice…not pumping gas… we have 5500 miles on it, which included a 2100 mile mountains trip to Colorado...

My thoughts...

    Model Y delivery anxiety? The wait is worth it

    Consider this an Ode to the "current delivery times" thread! Hilarious and therapeutic. This is a little long and rambly, but maybe itll help someone. Stick with it, dont get sucked into the "its a conspiracy" rabbit hole. LOL It is easy to get caught up in the madness of hoping for a quick...

    240 in the garage. cost?

    So we ordered the Y, I figured Id just run a outlet to the garage, a nema 14-50. I bought all the stuff, even went with 6 gauge wire. Ive done this before adding a dryer in two houses, but im no pro. It just needs to run up the wall and across my family room(originally the garage) and down into...
