Everyone, I'm going to be stepping back from CL for a bit, with my workload and life stuff, I just don't have the time to post and read other posts. I really enjoy interacting with all of you and sharing my EV experiences, as well as reading about your experiences, and I'll hopefully be back to continue with that on a regular basis. I will from time to time check in and post, for example I'm going on a trip in a couple of weeks to SoCal and will most likely be taking the Model 3 on it's first trip, so if I get some time I'll post something. Also, I'll update my Model Y and 3 threads if there is something to share.

Please keep posting in my threads, I probably won't respond right away, but if I get a chance I'll read your posts.

Thanks everyone for making this a lively blog 👍

I missed the warm weather. Far cry from the 1.9s I was getting in the winter

Had to make s trip across town today. About 20 miles. Just for fun, i wanted to see what the Plaid would get if i drove it easy. Ended up 189.7 Wh/mi. That comes
to 5.27 miles per kWh. Thats pretty strong for a car with over 1000hp.

After I changed to a more aggressive wheel/tire setup on my old 3, I struggled to get under 250 wh/mi. In the winter it was 300-330. Made the car more fun though

That's insanely good!

I know my car is not anywhere near as efficient as the newer Model S is, but here is mine (this includes winter - a lot of short drives, plus my heavy foot)

No problem.....I know exactly where you are coming from, After almost 93,000 posts in 22 years, I have had to ease up a little lately myself, with more things to do around the house and in daily activities.

Enjoy your vacation in SoCal.

I couldn't make it through all the rambling and wandering around, but a pretty cool overview of the new IONNA stations. They've got some personality to them which is refreshing

That is amazing lol

I'm on a couple Dad FB groups and one guy posted a picture of the first cut of his new lawn, and he was using an EGO electric mower and this guy laid into him about the electric mower making him a pansy, and I loved the response "How insecure in your own masculinity do you have to be to be threatened by an electric lawnmower?" LOL
