Secret way to put gas in a model 3!!!

[pcons]

Not only do our cars get better with software updates, I just discovered there is a super secret method to actually put GAS into my model 3!

This is what happens when there is a snow storm and you ran out of gas on the snowblower. It was fun to watch people look confused when I pulled up the the pump in an electric car.

A couple years ago people wouldn't notice, but this time I got se odd looks and even joked with the guy in front of me when he saw I was filling a gas can.

Happy Family Day/Valentine's Day weekend all

Just admit it, you were just missing the smell of gas !

Don't ask my wife how often I've put gas in the model 3.

What? No electric snowblower?

Exactly. I don't have a snow blower but I'm usually almost done shoveling by the time my neighbors are able to get their blower's engines started. I think shoveling might actually take less effort, especially when you consider the engine maintenance and voyages out to fill the gas can.

This one came with the house 10 years ago and still going strong so no need to replace. Plus I've used it more in the last 3 days than in the last 3 years. With the amount I have to clear I don't think an electric one would last....however I was eying an electric ride on mower last year. They are expensive. Between 3-5k....I bought the acceleration boost for my model 3 instead

I have a gas snow blower and lawn mower and when I go get gas, I do so in my wife's RX. It's weird but I'm almost embarrassed to be seen at a gas station.

Come on - it'd at least help make the irony clearer for some when EV charging spots get ICEd.

There are a few times I've had to stop by a gas station for a snack (pre-COVID) and the only spot is, of course, right by the door to the convenience store/cashier and forcing me to take up a gas pump spot that is adjacent to it. I've had several knowledge-sharing conversations with people as many are curious about what it's like to drive electric.

I feel the same way. The only time I ever use gas pumps is when I have to fill up a rental - but with Covid I don't think I have done that since Sep 2019. If they ever change how pump works I will look like a Luddite.
