This is so legit! In.gif. This will make a big difference for my wife and me; the only thing I'm holding out on now is HEPA and headlights; we had some really bad air quality in Oregon last summer and for the past several summers if memory serves. Lights and HEPA will just make a solid safe car even better. I punted my reservation once, hope to be able to take delivery soon!

). I'd recommend putting the retrofit money into $TSLA if anything. Don't be like the guys updating their taillights only to find it doesn't work properly Lol. Is saving 300 watts per hour of energy worth freezing your balls off?
Preconditioning uses close to 7kWh when the battery is warming. Maybe shave 10 min off preconditioning and turn your heat up! My personal record is 67 degreesTimes were different. This was when I drove a 2017 Volt. The Volt only had a 14kWh battery so you learned to precondition, use the seat and steering wheel heaters to maximize the Volt's EV range. Of course with the Volt you could always use gas but that was admitting defeat. The Long Range Model Y's battery capacity is over 5X that of the Gen2 Volt so for most driving using the HVAC is a given. Still, on cold mornings the heated steering wheel was something I learned to appreciate.Lol. Is saving 300 watts per hour of energy worth freezing your balls off?
LOL! I think I saw your car on PDX Craigslist and was wondering why you were selling; you actually have all of the options I wanted except for the 20" wheels; I wanted 19". I also wanted the $2.5k EV credit from Oregon and and still holding out hope for maybe HEPA and updated headlights
