Hello beautiful people!
As you can see I've been a member of the forums for a while now, but kinda had a ~5 year hiatus where I didn't post. :redface: My obsession with Tesla has been reignited tho now that I am actually able to get a Model S!
Went to college in Boston, spent a year living in NZ, and then went back to Boston to graduate and then hung around. I currently live in Back Bay (no driveway or garage tho
).
Actually grew up in Nor Cal - with EVs and solar since I was 10 years old. We had a red EV-1 :crying: <--(my cry face) and hilariously my parents' house still has the outdoor charger for it in their driveway. We all consider it a monument to the almost-death and then rebirth of EVs. *pours out a 40*
My dad was in the #300s (not Sig) for the Roadster, but dropped his reservation when they got more expensive during one of the many pricing changes. He also had an Aptera reservation (RIP), and a LEAF reservation (changed mind). A few years later he got a low #200s (also not Sig) Model S which he drives daily and charges 100% with solar.
I'm an artist and I've been compelled to draw some Tesla fanart, and shirt designs lately. Maybe I'll post them on the forums at some point. I'm also an aspiring filmmaker, so maybe I'll make some cool Tesla vids! :biggrin:
Anyway, hope to see ya'll around! My other half and I tend to go on very long, meandering drives all around New England, through small towns, forest roads, and the occasional dirt road. Some of these joyrides last anywhere from 2 -15 hours. We enjoy driving just for the sake of it and think New England is beautiful. We also have a tendency to drive around in the middle of the night a lot (and thus been pulled over by cops many times, lol), and we've ended up just sleeping in the car more than once. A Model S would make these trips a lot more guilt-free (no gas) and comfortable I think.
See signature for the specs. We could have gotten it by June but we're out of the country till Aug. Within a week of receiving it, I will be driving cross-country to CA with it for a wedding (another reason I decided to pull the trigger and buy the S).
Still difficult waiting, but the TMC forums and Ben Goodwin's videos have been keeping me sane.
