Who has or is planning to get an electric car / EV Talk

[jz0309]

After weeks of deliberation, test driving various makes, my wife has decided to get a Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD for her daily commuter, so we'll take delivery of it in 2 - 4 weeks, according to Tesla. I work from home so we had gone down to just 1 vehicle about 3 years ago, but its getting to the point now where a 2nd vehicle is again becoming a necessity.

Enjoy!
Is this your first EV?

Cool, if it's possible invest in home charging, totally worth it.

Congrats. Love mine, same model. The only real gripe is the turn indicators, but it is a minor inconvenience for me, not enough to not love the car.

Have you looked into S3XY commander and stalk?

I have the commander in my 3/Y and also the dial in my Y. Love it…

I am aware of it, but have not looked closely at it yet. Glad to hear you love it!

I do not have their S3XY Stalks, so I cannot report on if it is an elegant solution to those who have issues with the lack of both stalks in the new 3, or shifter in the new Y. But if the quality is like their commander and dial, it may be worth it.

One of the features I like to use is Kickdown mode (I have it on my 3/Y). It keeps the driver's profile in chill until you give a pre-set % go pedal (I have mine set to 90%) where it changes to sport (I have Acceleration Boost on both), once I return the throttle to <20% it changes it back to chill.
