ICE of EV for my next car?

It’s been 18 months since I sold my 2013 Honda Accord and since then my wife and I have just been using our Tesla Model Y as our sole mode of transportation. I technically have my motorcycle that I can use but I can’t use it to go to the grocery store, take it out …

I Replaced My Model Y Air Filters

After over 2 years I decided to replace the air filters that are in the Model Y. It’s one of the maintenance items that are in the manual but until now I have sort of ignored it. A lot of owners have said there is a funny smell from the Model Y and the way …

Tesla Roadside Assistance is AWESOME

This past Sunday I got a flat when going to Church. I had no idea that my passenger front tire had a screw in it since it was closer to the inside of the tread. However when I parked I saw that the low tire pressure light was on and thats always a dangerous indication …

Tesla Model Y After 30K Miles

It’s been a year and a half since I got a Tesla Model Y and now I’m just over the 30K mile mark. I achieved this milestone pretty quick but thats because the Tesla became our only car during the pandemic. I mean the prices they were giving for used cars was insane and since …

Road tripping with the Tesla Model Y

This holiday season instead of flying to go skiing, the family and I decided to drive up to Virginia in the hopes that there would be snow (there wasn’t any so that was a bust). However, this really allowed me to see how the Tesla worked during a road trip and I have to say, …

The Charging Network for your EV Car Matters

I’ve owned a Tesla for a little over a year now and one of the reasons that I chose a Tesla over any other brand that was out there was for the charging network. Tesla’s charging network is bigger than almost anyones out there and there are quite a few like ChargePoint and Electrify America …

Super Chargers are Tesla’s greatest strength and weakness

I won’t deny that I’m having fun driving around in the family Model Y. My poor Honda Accord sits unused in its parking spot most of the time since I’m busy driving the family or myself around in the Tesla. The family and I recently took a trip in the Tesla upstate for a mini …

Tesla Range – It Depends

I’ve done a couple of longish trips in the Model Y since I’ve owned it. The longest was a 5 hour trek all the way to St. Augustine. That one involved 2 super charger stops on the way there and on the way back. What I’ve come to realize is that the stated range that …

Autopilot on the Tesla Model Y is pretty awesome

I’ve had the Tesla Model Y since September and so far I haven’t really driven it much on the highway because everything I need is all local. Recently I had to take a drive out to Naples FL and it was my first time to really use Autopilot. Autopilot is a little different from full …

2020 Model Y Long Range vs 2016 Model S P85D

I have been fortunate enough to have driven both cars in a very short time period. Mainly this is due to my Model Y needing some TLC from the Tesla Service Center to correct a few things that I saw when I took delivery. Now there are probably a million YouTube videos about this topic …
