Got the itch to sell my model 3 sr+ and buy a model y LR. We'll see how this loan is looking like.

Y’all charge every night?
I do but I don't have too. I can do my commute about 5 times on a single charge. I am also lucky enough to live within walking distance of a supercharger if I ever needed a quick charge.

I was all in but I do too much long distance driving. Making an 11 hour trip 14 hours for charging turned me off. That's a hell of a deal though.
Nah bro that’s just the calculated time on Tesla chargers.. The trick is you make more frequent stops charging for a less about of time so that 11 he trip will be 4 hrs of charging total.. I take road trips in my model x all the time and we recently drop from NY to Key West FL and that’s a 22hr drive but it took us 25 hrs with us using the superchargers on an avg recharge time of 30 mins which gave us an 80-90% charge.. We never charged up to 100% because the superchargers rate of charge slow down once you get to 85-90%

so we stopped every 2 1/2 hours to recharge and 90% of the drive was on autopilot which makes the drive so much easier.. plus all the Tesla superchargers are all next Starbucks and other eateries..

I took longer on my last road trip, 13 instead of 11 hours (usual). Made extra stops, rested more and things like that and it was a more enjoyable trip. I got to my destination feeling rested. I can only imagine it being even easier with self driving. I think I will get on the bandwagon this year.
