Free parking in Salt Lake City. From: Rory Conaway Sent: Friday, April 01, 2016 1:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Tesla Model 3... who else is getting one?
The real reason to get one in Phoenix is the HOV lane. At least an hour of drive-time saved every day.

There are a bunch of advantages to an electric car. The first is not having to stop at gas stations at all. Sure, they have to be charged, but that stop is already programmed into your routine. Second, they never, ever need a smog check. Third, there is no "oil change interval". Fourth, they can't leak oil. Fifth, they pollute, like... nothing. Sixth, you can't carbon monoxide yourself (or anyone else) by letting them idle in the garage. Seventh, their mileage is actually higher in the city. There are probably others, but it's getting late. bp<part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/31/2016 9:36 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: Coal and oil are kind of the same source for energy.

But you don’t. That is the point. I have a charger at home and at work and at my other work. 3-5 seconds. None if you have a passenger do it for you...

Time it. You will be surprised. 5 minutes. Gotta drive in, park, get out, gas cap off, swipe card, wait for authentication, select fuel, wait for beep, put hose in, pull trigger. Wait a couple of minutes, reverse all of the above, stand in rain, snow gas fumes, noise. From the moment you leave the street to being back on the street 5 minutes. And it costs you money!

We drive past gas stations every day. It's what, 2 minutes? If you travel >200 miles your time table is screwed as you need to charge. Your route also can't be the scenic one. It costs more than my current car which I have today and I doubt it comes close in terms of comfort. Oh and the auto pilot doesn't try to hit oncoming traffic. That's a nice upside!

If your daily trips are fairly short, you would only have to plug in once a week. There is nothing but upside here.

Even if it were 5 seconds that would be more time every two weeks than what I spend at a gas station. Then I have to pay for power anyway... Not a fan of the front end duck bill. The rear has too much Prius. Side looks great. Interior looked unfinished or space aged. 115k preorders for something you won't see in two years, though? Woof.

Yuck. I love the updates they do with the Model S and the API power is really awesome, but I'm more for NA over boost, let alone electric. I saw the website and thought "Who's going to preorder a car that won't be announced for another hour?".
