Our Tesla Model Y
« on: September 22, 2022, 04:08:14 PM »
Late yesterday we picked up our Tesla Model Y (Zeus), and I'm loving it already.

Got home with 39% battery after a bit of driving last night, and it has cost only $9 to top it up.

Went to Woolies to get the groceries, plugged in for free for 40 minutes. Added 2,000 W, and it took only 464 W to get there.

Zeus ate all the groceries in one mouthful.

How safe is all that electricity out in the rain?    :grin

Love the colour, and of course, the klever plate.  With fuel savings like that you'll pay for it in no time!

I took Zeus down to the Gold Coast yesterday for a Ceramic coating treatment.

Vik was very thorough and asked me to stay and watch.

Arrived at 7:30 am, he was working on it by 8:00, and didn't finish until 3:30 pm.

Rinsed, shampooed, rinsed, clay blocked, hand dried, blow dried, taped, fine polished, superfine polish, treated inside and out all surfaces including glass.

Came home through a shower of rain and the water was beading so well if the bonnet and glass I hardly needed the wipers.

Yes it will be.

I just have to convince the finacial controller.

I can charge for free at the local Woolworths at 4 kW (16 A) or at Ikea on the 22 kW 3 phase units.

Go Team Blue!

I'm loving it. So cheap to run.

Just find out I can charge for free at 22 kW at Ikea in the next suburb, or at 30c/kWh at 50 kW.
