Still sadly haven't seen a Model 3 in the wild. I guess I don't drive in the parts of town that people drive them or own them in, or at the time of day they do. I'm self-employed so my schedule is a little weird sometimes.

I still cannot believe that 300 EV's in OPPD service area, number. A couple weeks ago, I found myself at an intersection at 132nd and West Dodge. There were 2 Model S's and myself, all staring at one another. So, I guess you could say we were the "1%". Both the S owners were checking me out closely. I've only seen two other 3's headed in my opposite direction, and they didn't notice me.
I think he was implying he was shocked by that fact, not that he didn't believe what you had to say.I work hard to not just say something, but have back up for it, usually facts:
"Only about 600 EVs are currently registered in Nebraska. Half of those are within OPPD’s service territory." From:
Electric Vehicles | Nebraskans for Solar maybe three articles down the page.
And that says half in OPPD district, which is larger than Douglas county.
All in the pursuit and hope that I can get the $4500 rebate in a few months when my 3 comes in.

@WhenNRome I didn't realize you could daisy chain them. Is that only for the wall connector or for the mobile connector as well? (I'm assuming wall connector only since hardwiring it may the only way to achieve that) Regardless, that was smart getting an 80 amp circuit then.
@WhenNRome Thanks for the charging chart! I'm confused what you mean by daisy chain them. The cars? Or the chargers? I didn't think the cars were possible - so I'm assuming you are meaning the wall chargers.
@WhenNRome Also, did you have any issues with the home delivery - meaning issues with the car you noticed at delivery. That's my biggest concern about not picking it up at a delivery location is what if something isn't right with the car? Was that discussed with you prior?

I've actually been spotting lots of Model 3's around Omaha lately. They seem especially popular along Industrial road and West Center. I've seen red several times, both 19" and Aero wheels. I've also spotted a MSM and a blue one. Last Saturday I pulled out of my driveway and there was a red Model 3 with 19" wheels parked in my neighbors driveway. (My config!) Later found out it was her daughter's car.
Today I'm using my waiting time to prep the garage. I decided to paint a portion of the wall Tesla red and add a vinyl Tesla logo.
Congrats!I had my very first Model 3 sighting this morning as I was heading out of town to pick up my own. Delivery went great, haven’t found any issues or anything so far and driving home was a blast.
We ate at Leed’s diner a few blocks away from the delivery center after picking it up, which I would recommend. Then we did a quick test charge at the council bluffs supercharger on the way back into town.

Congrats! What color? Did you do EAP?
I too dislike how it stays in the center of the lane even when passing huge trucks. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to program it to "lean" towards the opposite side of the lane, at least when the lane on the other side of you is unoccupied or if it is a shoulder or whatever.Black, with EAP.
It kicked in after about 40 miles or so.
TACC takes very little getting used to and I loved that immediately. Full EAP makes me a little uneasy so far when passing trucks and such because it really wants to be in the middle of the lane instead of getting over slightly like I normally would myself. I also don’t really get people complaining about nag frequency so far, as it doesn’t nag at all if you’re just putting a little pressure on the wheel as it turns. I was expecting to have to fight it or waggle it more based on people’s complaints.

There was an update about a month ago that had excessive nagging, like every 15 seconds or so. It was really annoying and it nearly made AP unusable. The most recent update isn't as bad.

FINALLY saw my first Model 3 in the wild...well, at least parked in the wild. It was a beautiful red one parked at Innovation Campus in Lincoln. I may have parked right next to it and took a picture or two.Still sadly haven't seen a Model 3 in the wild. I guess I don't drive in the parts of town that people drive them or own them in, or at the time of day they do. I'm self-employed so my schedule is a little weird sometimes.
Update since 30 Jun... I am loving my Model S. I don't think I could go back to a standard vehicle after this. I had an electrician install a 220v outlet in the garage and it has totally changed my charging game. No more 3 MPH charge.
