Ha!! This is so much like how I did the wife,, She didn't want to drive the T because she knows how I am about my "Toys".
Since we have bought the T, we look for reasons to DRIVE---
It isn't anything for us to hunt up little out of the way stores, restaurants and odd road side curiosities.
So, in order to get my wife to share in the GRIN,, I drove about 125 miles to a dinning spot that we had read about.
Unbeknownst to her, I had planned on having her drive back home.
After we had eaten, and we were walking up to our baby, I walked to the passenger side and, got in.
I just sat there looking up at her with the Tesla Grin on my face.
She started Grinning like a true Teslaite and walked around to the driver's side and sat down.
I have never turned one of my babies over to another's hands, so soon after a purchase like that and she was very nervous about it.
((So was I because I knew, if you every drive a Tesla, you won't be willing to give it up, resistance is futile)).
I just smiled and helped her to set up her driver's profile, all the while talking to her like My DES did for me.
I am so proud of Tessie and I wanted my wife to understand my infatuation with the car.
Tessie is the only car I have been so confident in that I trust my wife to be able to understand it and love it like I do.
It's not 'Just A Car'. It's a mind set, a way of life and beliefs that border on awareness of righteousness.
I haven't really been one to just drive somewhere for no reason. I usually tackle the trip as something that must be done and completed,, Fast!
Therefore, all my cars have been the typical motor head type and I tire of them very quickly, but not the 'T',
Smooth, quiet,effortless to maneuver and did I mention the Warp Factor??
As the original OP stated, there ARE some drawbacks to owning a Tesla.
There is really is the matter of jealousy, but I tackled that one head on by sharing.
Then, there is the fact you are never home, time means nothing and you find that old friends become new friends.
And last but not least, too many places beckon you like a siren from the sea.
Come visit me,come try my wares, come dine with me, which brings me to the true fault with owning such a magic carpet ride.
How to master that growing waist line,,,,,,,,,, so many restaurants, fairs and elephant ears to try.
Dinners, Drive Inns and Dives, has become our new calling.
