When I joined Electrek, my husband and I were leasing two gas cars: a MINI Countryman and a Toyota RAV4. When we lived in Britain (we’re both dual citizens), we owned a series of MINIs and a couple Audis and VWs. The RAV4 was a purely practical purchase when we moved to the US – my daughter, who is now away at college, drove it to school and back. ...
With the MINI gone and the Toyota nearly out the door, we created an account on Tesla’s website and got down to business. When we ordered the Standard Range Plus in May, the price was shown as “$35,000*.” (Now it’s showing as $35,690*.) Annoyingly, Florida doesn’t have state incentives for electric cars. But here’s the thing about that asterisk aft...
We compared the three choices of cash, lease, or loan and started our lease process. Everyone has their preferred method of buying cars, whether it’s switch them out every couple of years, or buy one and drive it into the ground. We’re lease people. That’s just what we like to do. We tweaked the down payment numbers and annual miles using my Mac’s ...
Here are the specs on my Model 3, and why we chose them: 1. Standard Range Plus Rear-Wheel Drive – We didn’t need a longer range, as we aren’t commuters and there are plenty of chargers in Florida. The state is third in the US for chargers. We don’t have range anxiety. (But it’s amazing how many people brought up range anxiety when we said we’d bou...
I had a question about how and where to enter my referral code that I got from a colleague who drives a Model Y. (Hey, 1,000 miles of free Supercharging for him and for me – it’s a must!) So the website referred me to Tesla in Tampa, and I was assigned my own Tesla adviser, whose name was Nik Wyland. Nik called me, applied the referral code to my a...
We placed our order on May 13. Nik said our car’s estimated delivery was sometime between mid- to end of June. (Unsurprising that the end date was June 30 – we all know what end of Q2means to Tesla.) Here’s where it got a bit unnerving. Every day I’d log into my account, and every day that date span would shorten: June 9-30. June 10-30. June 11-30....
A Tesla rep (not Nik) called to say that the car carrier was delayed. Tesla ships their cars to the southeastern US on a train to Alabama – I do believe it’s Birmingham – and then the carriers deploy in all directions from there. Tesla rep said, “So we’ll need you to come pick up your car on either Tuesday or Wednesday.” I replied, “I’m sorry, that...
Tuesday afternoon, Nik showed up at our house with our car. Both my husband and I had already watched all our Support Videos. I worried I might forget everything once I climbed into the driver’s seat, but that fear was unfounded – the car is completely intuitive (or at least it was for us). Once we carefully inspected our car for problems and flaws...
Oh. My. God. I messaged Fred Lambert on Slack: “The Kool-aid has been drunk.” Fred replied: “No going back.” Me: “Absolutely not.” I get it now. I always knew Teslas were extraordinary. I like cars. I like learning about cars. I used to hang out with my mechanic in college, to learn more about how my VW Golf worked. But I don’t like emissions. And ...

Feb 9, 2024 · My experience is very different. Everything was great until 6 1/2 years. I took my model S into the dealership for tire rotation, frunk not opening, and brake cleaning and inspection.
