$40,000.00 Tesla Model X Signature Edition
$ 1,000.00 Model 3
Both Models X & 3 were promoted with MSRPs far below their actual MSRPs (bait & switch?), consequently, I couldn’t afford either. Nonetheless, encouraged to test drive a Model X, roundtrip from Jacksonville, FL to Charleston, SC this, otherwise, leisurely eight hour journey became a harrowing three day expedition because this Model X’s trip computer didn’t allow for the optional ‘supersized’ wheels and tires, which significantly reduced range.
This 490 mile roundtrip required Tesla SuperCharger and 110, or greater, charging including a motel’s 110 holiday light cord (thank you Econo Lodge!) and motoring the Interstate at 40 MPH with all but the most essential electrical loads switched off (a ‘bit’ embarrassing). My contribution to this situation was gleefully demonstrating the gull-wing doors, to curious passersby, not knowing the toll they were eXacting.
While preparing for this adventure, and placing items in the middle seat, the left gull-wing door closed on my service-connected (military) tortured legs and, while briefly parked on the right side of a one-way street in Savannah, GA, the left driver’s door opened, into oncoming traffic, as I approached.
I’ve been unable to work for one-quarter century yet enthusiastically support Mr Elon Musk, whom I truly admire, respect, and always will, despite TSLA’s indifference for the all-too-many times I requested repayment of my 0% unsecured cash loans.
Nonetheless, thank you Mr Elon, for being the most essential, ‘Musk’ needed, greatest of industrialists who has, is, and all-ways will ‘lead’ the World toward a sustainable Spaceship Earth, exploration of the Infinite Universe, and survival of all life therein.
