So you mean we should have a flat tax rate? Not sure what equality means exactly here but you’ll find eligibilities tied to income everywhere in this country
I meant the tax rate is already more than fair to lower income people.
Multiple examples do not make it right. If two people have $1 they should have the same purchasing power. It's not ok for a bureaucrat to decie whose $1 is worth more.
Everyone gets EV credit or no one. This is fair.

Nice. Here in frigid Minnesota, we have our water and electricity connection points in the basement utility room. For my house, running from east of home to west end through a fully finished basement has increased my costs substantially. Your set up looks like nice and clean!

Done with MN winters? Moving out of state or to the southern hemisphere? With the global warming, in a decade, MN winters will be a nice mild relief from the ever longer summers.

I actually enjoy the MN winters - at least until February or so! No, we've got two young kids, so we need more room, especially when we have family come to stay. We're also about 15 mins outside of town, which is pretty, but time consuming when you're running kids to daycare, etc. We keep talking about heading back to NZ for good sometime, but houses are just so damn expensive there right now that it would would be like jumping down several rungs on the economic ladder. It would essentially be like moving from the Midwest to the Bay area. Similar situation to Australia and (what I presume is) your old stomping ground of Melbourne. Superb city that - I have close friends there, and it's been far too long since I last visited. A creamy, fragrant short espresso at a cafe/espresso bar in Brunswick St would do me just fine right now...

Definitely looking into home charging, and I'm scheduled to have the work done in early November - I want to be ready just in case my car comes early. The MYLR will be my only car so I need to be ready. I'll be charging outside, so I'm getting the Tesla Wall Connector. Good idea about holding off on accessories.

Should I move back, I will be unable to afford a home in Melbourne. Crazy prices. My son and his wife too moved to the US, but settled in the bay area. I would love to spend a month or two on vacation in Melbourne but not move back. Driving a Tesla on the great ocean road would really thrilling in FSD mode. It is more than a couple of decades since I left, and this is home now
I don't see house prices coming down much in global metro cities including Melbourne, London, Shanghai, NYC etc. Too many wealthy people are willing to buy houses at ever higher prices. A suburb, close to a large metro city is a nice affordable choice. Since our plans are long term, I went for a Tesla WC. One advantage of this charging option is that one can run 2 Tesla WCs on a single set of set of wires, should we decide to ditch our second ICE as well.For gen3 WC it's separate circuits (which communicate over wifi to share the amperage). For gen2 WC you run them off the same circuit (with a junction box connecting each) with control wires between the two, that's how I have mine setup. The gen2s were hard to come by when I was searching a few months back to do this.Should I move back, I will be unable to afford a home in Melbourne. Crazy prices.

I see. I was not aware of this. Thanks for an important bit of information for future buyers on the Gen 3 WC's. I guess I will be charging each Tesla on a different night

Three is white. It's a 60amp max charger. The Gen 2 could do 80amps.
What is really crazy is if you order an MYLR 19" wheels today, delivery is now July, but the 20" wheel option is still April. So unless there is a shortage of 19" rims and tires for some reason vs 20" (which I'm doubting), Tesla is pushing the more expensive models up front.
As a business, makes complete sense to me - strike while the iron is hot. As a consumer, have 3 month difference just due to wheel/tires seems insane.

Actually it is a bit more complicated than that. If you choose black seats with 19" wheels it is July. But 19" wheels with white seats is still April. I think this is a major supply chain issue and I guess they are running out of both black seats and 19# wheels. So what few seats of black they have will give with the more expensive 20" wheels.

(I think location and delivery timing are connected but I'm not certain of the connection or exactly why.)

EDD: 10/18 - 11/15 (So I'm in the window starting today)

Interesting and if you do 19" wheels and black, but add the third row, it's April. So to your point, they're probably saving up the seats/rims for the more expensive orders.
