Last night at Bogota! The Colombian trip was awesome and fun. Tomorrow night is my trip to Buenos Aires and I can’t wait to get home too.

It’s like a golf cart - take your foot off the accelerator and it slows down to a stop. In EV world, it’s called regenerative braking, cuz it actually uses the energy to brake this way to charge up the battery. There’s still a traditional brake pedal if you need it.wease wrote:Wait… single pedal? WTF?

You should have it by July.Coach wrote:I will say - thus far - the customer experience at Tesla - from the test drive to basically buying this thing through the app has been super smooth. They must have an algorithm to provide the instant financing/loan decision. The rest - uploading insurance docs, etc. to the app has been painless.
Delivery is slated for mid-March.
