D-Vader finally gets his ride! 😉

[D-Vader]

I haven't been active on here much since I joined. I have a Model 3 SR that sadly I leased and due to Teslas lease policy, although I really like the car, I've never felt a connection to it because it will never be "mine". Also, I got it in Grey and 2wd when I wanted black and awd. To be honest it was supposed to be the wifes and I was going to "get mine" later. Well things changed after that and long story short it's been mine for about a year now.
However, due to work location changes driving a lease vehicle with limited miles is no longer feasible. So I convinced her to let me finance another Tesla. I really wanted to get a brand new black 3 P but I just couldn't spend the money it would take to get it. Also, black isn't eligible for the $7500 tax credit. I was going to buy a used black 3 P but I test drove one and I felt it was too much the same as what I have, just faster so I landed on a used Y Performance. I live in Cali and bought it from a dealership in Colorado. I can't go get it for 2 weeks but it's all mine. Now the wait begins.

People in California don’t say Cali. SoCal, NorCal is fine, but only people east of the Rockies say Cali.

Ok, thanks for the lesson!

Congratulations!

Meh, when I lived in Cali, I used Cali.

Meh, when I lived in Cali, I used Cali.

I've lived here for many years now and people say it all the time. I rarely hear SoCal or NorCal. I see it typed a lot online but not spoken.

 

[Watts_Up]

Performance. I live in Cali and bought it from a dealership in Colorado.

Do you have to paid sales taxes both in California and Colorado?

Note: Be sure that the car get transfered to your Tesla account, otherwise you will have difficulty to use a Supercharger.
Maybe take a CCS adapter, so you will still be able to use a non-Tesla DC Fast Charger.

Love the color!!!!!! we wanted blue, but would had to wait till November. already took 2 months to get a Y black----like BLACK METAL

I lived in there even before the turn of the millenium. We said Cali, San Fran, Frisco, and Socal in equal measures. Never really said Norcal much though.

Pretty funny. Those who live or moved here from out of state / country are telling me I’m wrong.

San Fran is the other one transplants and people who don’t live in San Francisco say.

Looks sharp. What year and mow many miles on it?

No one said “you’re wrong.”

But your experience is yours and our experience is ours. I’m sure plenty of people that aren’t transplants in Cali use either way.

What is even the point of this? To begin with, the fact you felt it somehow important enough to bring it up to “correct” someone is pretty silly.

 

[Dangaurd_Ace]

How did this devolve from the imperial Model y to gate keeping geography...who cares what people call that big west coast state... Enough of the overwatch... .Back to how awesome the underrated Black Model Y is....mine is called GETTER BLACK from the anime SHIN -GETTER

@D-Vader you're not the only nerd on here

 

[WyoDude]

I’m not exactly sure of the name, I think it was Mazinger-Z or something. The one where the pilot flies around in an orb-like ship that lands in the crown of the head. I always think that was interesting.

But ultimately, my favorite is the mainstream Voltron!

Getter---is the same era as MAZINGER-Z, there's a few episodes where they team up to beat bad guys. i guess like neighbors

which VOLTRON? lions, vehicle, there's also the first voltron that wasn't aired outside japan, it didn't transform...

The lions. You could say they were lion shaped vehicles. That being said, I didn’t know about the Japan only version and can’t say I know about non-lion version. It’s weird, feel like I might’ve seen the non-lion version but can’t actually recall any. Maybe it’s just a physiological urge to “be in.” I do remember creepy CG version, yikes.

The US there was the 5 lions in japan it's called GO-LION (go is japanese for 5) the other Voltron was all the vehicles that combined into like groups of ships, then they split and became Vehicle Voltron.
If you get a hold of the Japanese version of the Lions---it's pretty bloody and brutal!


you are right about Mazinger-Z the kid jumped in the ball shaped flyer then landed in the head, in the US there was a production that called it Trazor-Z

We residents in 408 were saying that around the time the 49ers last won a Superbowl...
