Contractors who use the Model 3

I'm not a contractor but I have been using my Model 3 to carry around lots of home improvement materials from Lowes. People are often surprised by what I'm able to fit in there!
Holy cow what do you do with all those tools when someone moves out? Really involved repairs?
2 lights = more light for painting
Fan = help stay cool
Vacuum = clean up dust from installing new hardware on kitchen cabinets
Tool box cases in the back = Drills & various bits for installing kitchen hardware/putting back on electrical outlet covers after painting/various things here and there.
That isn't even all my tools, just the tools I needed for the jobs.
The place we just finished up got fully repainted, including interior doors, new flooring in the kitchen/front door landing area, new counter tops/sink in kitchen, painted the brown cabinets white, painted vent hood white, new hardware, new blinds, and just random things here and there.
Here's a pic of the re-done kitchen, I wish I took a before pic, but it was dated. We didn't do new appliances because, well it's a rental, and they work and no point putting in new/nice stuff.
I've seen this on the model x but then you wouldn't have the sporty power and sleekness of the car.
So many ways to solve that problem. I use totes, trash bags etc. But in your line of work you likely have way dirty equipment, as for a tile saw I would not be putting that in there either.
wow surprised. spec wise, the CT is even better than the model Y for range, speed, "6" seater. I mean, I personally won't be buying it and sticking with my 3 until I hit at least 300k miles
But where do you get your electricity from? Superchargers are not cheap. Ends up being around the price of a hybrid per mile. I haven’t found a way to get cheap electricity. Still paying about $0.21 a kw in so cal. Superchargers is $0.32 kw. Which is more to run than the Prius.
I charge at home,32amp. Only used a supercharger maybe 3 to 4 times, even then the cost for a full charge is $7 to $10 cheaper than gas by a long shot
electricity in Vancouver, Canada is the cheapest in North America. My electric bill has gone up roughly $80 to $100 also, I do not sit in traffic, unless an accident has happened. No way you would ever catch me in a Prius, I’ve had a Honda hybrid, of did well, but had zero storage. You still have to put fuel in them.
I’ll drive the 3 till it dies. I own a truck
️ use it when needed, very little. I wanted a smaller vehicle for parking, which downtown or anywhere in Vancouver can be hell!! I was able to rethink my business and now the car works perfect and I get to drive what I consider a Ferrari as a work vehicle daily.Wow that’s a lot of bags. Nice work. Amazing what these cars can take. A Honda Civic would be super weighted down.
