Finally, back and heading north and now have WiFi ~ cool.
As you might know, or maybe wish you didn’t ~ this road trip is fossil fueled.
We only saw seven Tesla’s today, but then it was mostly back roads; beautiful I might add, but back roads none the less. saw a beautiful waterfall this afternoon. Since we are used to Supercharging, we applied the same principle here and schedule topping off at Costco
. Own some shares there too, so kind of spreading the wealth as they say. Since we are heading north, I doubt that we will see any loaded trucks, and counting the empties only skews the count
Okay, it would be cool to pass a loaded truck of 3s heading north to wild country
There would be red meat for bears if I actually saw a truck full of Tesla’s heading south in Oregon or Washington
Just sayin’
Driving the Tacoma on this road trip only pushes me closer to nuts ~ yes, some believe I passed that tipping point years ago. But, . . . The engine noise is outrageous, bar none. Cruise control sucks, bottom line. GPS, humm. I have used GPS since 1983, no this is not back to future, and no I am not impressed with Toyota’s version. The screen on our Tacoma is maybe, maybe 3”x6”; wife says that is being generous. Please, please give me a Tesla Model T ~ I’ll buy it already. I must have smacked the steering wheel five times today after turning on the turn signal indicating a lane change ~ no, the darned car just stayed in the lane and was not slowing down as the slower car remained in my way. I had to maneuver my car into the faster lane:-(
This truck (Tacoma) and I will part company once the Tesla Model T is available.
Remember when the ugly step child of the family, a couple of years back, was to run the newly designated all electric division at company where I bought my current truck? Yeah, kinda like falling asleep at the wheel waiting for him to introduce the all electric lineup ~ not me
I am okay, I am okay ~ do not try this sleeping trick in school with a sharpie pencil:-(
Meanwhile, my wife laughs at me and says, “turn off the truck, and then remove the key.” Damned fossil fuel trucks
Yes, I know Elon may not be able to name his truck the Model T ~ you get over it, a boy is allowed to dream
