MrYenko posted:My 3 was one the first ~200 or so delivered in Florida. I’d get other Tesla’s flashing their lights, pulling up next to me and giving me thumbs up, trying to flag me down in traffic to talk, it was honestly kindof exhausting. MrsYenko didn’t understand why non-Jeep owners were Jeep-waving at each other. I'm going from a Jeep to a Y (come on august hurry up) and after owning a Jeep for almost 10 years I'm about over the Jeep wave.

Daily posts of - I got a flat tire what do I do - My windshield got cracked, what do I do - What type of soap do I use to wash it The general public are stupid. Also, I ordered my Y on June 27th and have an expected delivery date of Aug 16th - Sept. 8th. There is little to no inventory here in Florida and if there is it's fully spec'd out models. I ordered a pretty standard long range Y, white, 20" wheels.

Welp, the Jeep has been sold and the MY should be here in a few weeks. Fully ready to be living the electric life style! Anything I should get before the Y gets here? I'm not going with the $500 Tesla charger and will just install a NEMA 14-50 outlet and grab the adapter. Should I grab another Gen 2 mobile connector as well? One to keep in the car and one to keep at home? Any recommendations on floor mats for the trunk area? I have 2 large dogs I'll be driving around and would like something that covers not only the trunk away but also the area when the rear seats are folded down to keep the dog hair on the actual seat backs and trunk floor to a minimum.

Just take the one you have whenever you go on really long trips, and forget about it. 99% of the time you'll be charging on either Tesla destination chargers or using your J1772 adapter to plug into the others. That's kinda what my thought process was too.

So just out of curiosity while I wait for my Y I hopped on autotrader to check out what's out there for used Y's. Uhh, the used car market is even more insane than I thought. 2020 Y's with 5-15k miles with less options are selling for more than what I'm paying for a new Y. What in the world.

SnatchRabbit posted:Yeah the used market is crazy I looked into selling my leaf for more than I paid but I gotta keep it for 3 years or fork over the 5k I got from charge up NJ. Come onnnn delta variant! I thought I'd be slick and maybe pick up a slightly used 2020/2021 for a little less than my new one since my build date keeps getting pushed out, but gently caress that noise. Time to put my patient hat on as my wife would say I guess and just wait. Apparently my car will already be worth 5k more than what I'm paying for it? lol

nerd, I made a chart of my estimated delivery as compared to the time since ordering:

Well, I have/had a MY LR on reserve that the EDD was sometime next month and then a MYP popped up in inventory up in Missouri and I might have hit the buy it now button and now I've got a MYP being delivered next week from Missouri down here to Florida. The wife just laughed at my lack of patience. So, yay me?

This thing is just ridiculous. I love it. Tesla has the car buying process that everyone should strive towards, we weren't in the dealership for more than 15 minutes from the time we walked in to the time I was driving it off the lot. Went straight from picking up to the tint place and have a ceramic coat scheduled for tomorrow. Everyone I took for a ride in it just laughs at the stupid acceleration lol

I almost sold my custom Jeep on Cars and Bids, got pretty far into the process before I sold it locally. Note that if you list it with them you're not supposed to have it listed anywhere else. Since it's such a new hot thing I bet you could even get Doug to feature it, hell have him do a review with it as well! I imagine you can get a pretty good price over MSRP for it as well.

Are there the EV equivalent of gas stations out there yet? Multiple different brands of charges and a nice WaWa type building to get food/snacks/outside seating/bathrooms. And if not, why? Seems like it'd be a good business opportunity.

I missed the charging stations talk a page or two back but I just wanted to post up what we have here at the hospital I work at. 4 of these showed up suddenly when we got a new CEO who coincidently drives a Tesla Model 3. Supposedly Duke Energy is doing some sort of study and provided them to the hospital for free, but really I think the CEO basically said, get me a way to charge while I'm at work, and as most CEO's know, they get what they want. They are not fast, I'm currently charging at a blistering 6 kW, but I can't complain really. It is completely free to charge and there are only a handful of us here at the hospital that have EVs and I've never not been able to get on one of them. So basically I'll start charging when I get in in the morning, go home for lunch and if I need to charge some more, plug her back in for the rest of the day. These "should" show up in the GreenLots app, but half the time they don't and I think that's because since they are set in free mode, there is nothing stopping a random EV driver from pulling up and using these. They aren't behind any kind of gated entrance nor is there any security checking to make sure you work at the hospital to use it, especially during the weekends when there less people here. Just wanted to post about another type of charging station out there. My home electric bill appreciates rarely having to charge at home, and usually never during the week.
