My experience with the Tesla Model 3

[doorfx]

We have a client that is running 90 hydrogen fuel cell lift trucks. Electric lift trucks with no batteries, pretty cool.

That is one thing a lot of people have asked for. I think some of the ones in the USA have this but none in Canada that I’m aware of. I got some optimum no rinse from Amazon and it seems to work really well on the bug guts stuck to the front bumper.

Most chargers are pretty close to gas stations anyways so it’s not really a big deal to walk over and get washer fluid if you need it.

All the chargers are running 24/7 as well so it might be easier to charge at 3am than it is to find gas in certain situations.

Some people have requested air compressors as well but I just keep a 12v one in my lower trunk compartment.

Its pretty neat to see the infrastructure taking place around the globe, what Elon is taking on is no small feat.

I just cant get over how ugly that Tesla truck is... the Rivan on the other hand I could be convinced to give a try, but it wouldn't make the cut for a daily driver, likely spend more time in the garage looking pretty. Haha

And Canada will be substantially more....

It's about time.

When you have a model 3 but miss doing maintenance...

Tesla currently has a market value of more than Ford and GM combined. Not sure if that is good or bad or makes any sense. But is something to think about.

Elon is a strange dude, one of the few who truly wants to change the world and the $$$$ means nothing. His 38.6 million Tesla shares have a current market value of 18.5 billion but even if it crashed and was $1/share the guy would still be financially set for life. But he still works tirelessly almost around the clock. If I had access to that much cash I'd be on permanent vacation.

Does the real cold weather suck the life out of your batteries Johnny?

272 Kms and just under 3 hours according to Google Maps. Pretty good given the temperature I would say.

Do you feel the Model 3 meets your expectations?

There is a guy here in Edmonton who has an ad on Kijiji for daily rentals of a Model 3 @ $150 / day. I think I will look into renting one for a weekend in the spring just to see.

Absolutely. It's one of the best products I've ever purchased. It continues to improve with software updates as well.

Saw a video of guys taking apart the drive motor.
Is there ever a pile of electronics attached to it.
Was very suprised.
The gears and such looked awesome.
Now i see why it takes off so fast.

It isn't ugly enough to be designed by musk. After seeing the pickup he made, I am convinced he does a lot of hard drugs. And while he throws like a 4 year old, his crappy windows still break. Just by a Zero if needing an electric bike.
