Tesla Motors Club

I didn't drive my Tesla. I took my husband's Mazda 3 (with a manual transmission) on a trip because I just didn't want to extend the length of it to charge and because there was no way to charge my car at all at my destination. Stupidly left during rush hour. That was not fun for my left leg as I haven't driven a stick shift in 15 years! It rained most of the way and initially I couldn't understand why the wipers weren't working... oh yeah, *I* have to turn them on. LOL! The last hour of my trip was in the dark on curvy, hilly roads in heavy fog, so more driving at slow speeds with the clutch. My poor leg was done by the time I got to my hotel. And I couldn't tell where my turns were on these back country roads because I had to use the map program on my phone and there was no where to set it so I could see the map while I drove. I'm so used to having that map there! My 10 year old was in the back saying stuff like "you need to practice driving a stick more" and "language mom!" Holy cow I don't think I can ever go back to anything but a Tesla now. I'm so spoiled!
