Yes, the order is in for the Y. Trying to sell the truck while I wait for the confirmation email. See, I never ran into that. I just always thought it was a weird sentiment given that work trucks can often dwarf the costs of "high end" vehicles, including Tesla.

Precisely. Innovation has never been their strong suit, always imitation.

Until they build it...

My avatar is for funsies. I have a company logo that I was planning to put on the doors in vinyl.

He is under the impression that only trucks are capable of being worked out of. As someone who is hand delivered parts on motorcycle, worked out of the back of my fiance's civic, and traveled all over the country working out of rental cars with a pelican case, I know this to not be the case...

Unfortunately, yes, there's not an easy way to make it work financially without selling. There's also the argument with the wife of "do you really need two?" Which will be a hard sell since I also have a motorcycle parked in the garage.

Had another heated debate with my business partner about getting rid of the truck. He's a bit of a fuddy duddy at times, but his most hilarious point was this: "When you pull up in a truck people know you're there to work. First impressions are priceless." While I get what he's saying, he seems...

And hopefully everything will be recorded and a review will weed out the exploitative characters. NDG has been anti-Tesla and anti-Musk for a long time. When Rogan told him he'd bought a model S NDG replied with, "He conned you into that?" He's basically a bad faith actor at this point in the...

Since I committed to purchasing a model Y last week I decided it would be a good idea to go to to a dealership and see what they say about my current work vehicle as far as a trade-in or even getting cash value. As expected, they low balled me and gave me an estimate for just the truck and none...

Anything intended to work on water is never going to be maintenance free, especially on saltwater. Salt water is one of the three most destructive forces of nature, sunlight and children being the other two.

I already have liners picked out on Amazon, a stockpile of gator wipes, a new rigid rolling toolbox for parts storage and organizing and a plastic bin for oil and one for acid. Hopefully I didn't miss anything.

He's technically retired, he's just bad with tech. He also thought QuickBooks online was a bad idea, but after using it for 2 years he's fine with it. I went ahead with performance for quicker delivery and better resale value down the line. I'm well under the mileage cap every day, so home...

Funny thing is that my partner said I should cancel my cybertruck and get an f150 lightening because "ford will blow them out of the water", he also thinks Tesla will go bankrupt any day now. The TCO when compared to an F350 is a no brainer from a business perspective.

That's kind of surprising considering there's a Fitbit phone app that can even summon. Well... It claims to.

Well I guess I'll find out, I ordered the Y to replace my F350 that is massive overkill for my line of work. I'll report back on my irl findings. Usually I'm not parked out back, I'm in the middle of the crush pads and sometimes halfway in a roll up. An emission free vehicle slipping indoors is...

No, I have a few customers in Oakland, so I'll have that covered. As far as the recharging, I'm really excited to only have to go to super chargers are exceptionally long trips. Even then, a lot of my customers have destination chargers on site or single phase 220 available. Odds are I'll be...

I work in kind of a weird niche. The machines I work on are all portable and can be loaded into the back of a Y no problem, but they are used for industrial cleaning applications. Honestly the major factor is cost and based my spreadsheet an mY costs about 50% as much as my truck does to operate...

I just signed to get three Tesla power walls installed, but they have a one year wait. I'm really.hoping autobidder is perfected by then. I'm also hoping my house doesn't get burned down between now and then too.

As infuriating as the delay may be, I also kind of have to thank it for being the reason my fiance is okay with us getting a model Y in the meantime. My business vehicle is costing and impossible amount to operate and a model Y will not only do the job but cost a fraction as much to operate...

My understanding is that is the case with orders. So even if you don't take delivery you can just keep postponing, at least if Tesla time news is to be believed.
