ok but that's 10k more than the one AJT posted, so not exactly similar.
This dealership wasn't my first rodeo.

Yeah I know, but I was just giving an example to bob04 on how you can save buying used

I knew exactly my payment, but I financed through a credit union. You can always back out until you actually take delivery, you'll lose your $250 deposit

There is a toggle on Tesla.com to include all taxes and fees in the estimate and it doesn’t matter whether you’re paying cash, leasing or financing. There are no fees missing from that calculator for a delivery to my zip code so the estimate provided pre-purchase should match your actual deal.

It's actually a pretty good car wash. The touchless wash works pretty well, only $14.99. Still doesn't make up to the .20 cents per gallon they take off

Ah, touch less washes are okay. Those gas station mitter ones though are bad news.

Free hotel charging ftw. Prior to either of us arriving, a Charger was parked in one of the charging spots which is why we are parked opposite of the charger we’re using.

Personally with a PHEV I would not take up a charger overnight at a hotel when there are only a couple options. Thats rude, somebody with a full EV that needs a charge may come in and need that charger.

I did leave our PHEV plugged in at the airport, but there were hundreds of EV chargers in that garage

Yep, maybe 1.5. At least go out and move it when it’s charged. At an office or a shopping center etc I think it’s fine to charge a PHEV but when traveling at a hotel, somebody absolutely would Roll in there expecting to be able to charge all night.
