The Wife is driving an 07 Buick Lucerne, 155,000 miles, and I'm driving a 2011 Cruze Eco Manual, 125,000 miles, we planned on driving until they both became unreliable. Since I had the "newest" car, the Wife is next up for a new car.
When the COVID crash hit the stock market last year, I took some of our emergency cash and started playing, quickly doubling it, at that point I put the emergency cash back where it belonged and continued with my adventure, now with a plan to try and make enough to get a Model 3 for the Wife, which I quickly did, but waited with the rumors of the Heat Pump coming soon. The earnings continued and suddenly we had enough to buy 2 Model 3's. The decision was made in late November but the Wife wanted a test drive before buying, so on 11/24 we went and test drove a Model 3 and she was sold, peaked at the Y and decided the extra $$ wasn't worth the extra space and slight decrease in efficiency. We put the orders on hold until 1/2 for local tax reasons.
So here we are today, we have a Vin for the Wife's Blue/White (she get's the next new car
) Pickup is scheduled for 3/1
I'm still awaiting a Vin for my Black/White with an estimated delivery date of 3/2-3/16
We have had Solar since 2012 and get paid a small amount when we sell electric back to our provider, this typically happens from April-September each year, 300 kWh's sold nets us around a $9 credit, that's enough for around 4 complete charges, so our Summer driving will be very reasonable.
