Again, I do not have any of the issues the media hyped up because morons can't think ahead and plan a trip. I charge at home as it's cheaper and way more convenient. It's always topped up and ready to go.

Here is a nationwide map, which doesn't include all the other charger brands. https://www.tesla.com/findus?v=2&bounds=50.15125214544229%2C-48.88063458125001%2C19.314833758636865%2C-123.89528301875&zoom=5&filters=store%2Cservice%2Csupercharger%2Cdestination charger%2Cbodyshop%2Cparty%2Cself serve demo drive%2Cnacs%2Cdelivery centers

Red dots are chargers. Teslas can go at least 300 miles on a charge on average. No excuse to run out of charge. https://www.tesla.com/trips#/?v=M3_2020_Performance&o=Bowling Green, KY, USA_Bowling Green Warren County KY@36.9685219,-86.4808043&s=&d=Paducah, KY, USA_Paducah McCracken County KY@37.0833893,-88.6000478

Help them out. Suggest a supercharger location.... https://www.tesla.com/supercharger-voting/overview

That had to make the news if true. Link? I'll say this.... Not everyone is smart enough to own an EV. If you're waiting in a long line for a charger in the snow (in extreme weather) with 2% battery, that's your fault. It's no different than when people wait in lines for gas when extreme weather hits and run out of gas in ICE cars. Stupid! You have to think ahead.... The car, if you put it in the trip, will map you to your destination and tell you exactly how much battery you'll have left and it is accurate. It'll also map you to a charger on the way if you need to charge on the trip. How people get stranded or drive until the battery dies and then blame it on the EV or charging network, blows my mind. SMDH....

It must not be a Tesla because when I traveled out of town I didn't have that issue. I never had an issue finding a working Tesla supercharger. I actually was amazed how many there are out there and overall how easy they are to find and use (payment info is already in the app, so it auto bills your card on file). I stopped at Whole Foods in Chattanooga and they had superchargers with roofs over them. I went in to get food and a drink and the car was charged before I finished. My car will map you to the nearest supercharger and prepare your battery on the way so it will charge faster. Superchargers are everywhere now and more being installed as we speak. https://www.tesla.com/supercharger They have a page where you can suggest a location for a charging station and folks vote on it. They give priority to the place with the most votes of course.

1 speed power glide. FFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

Gloss black HRE FF10's on a black Model 3....

Just ordered some HRE FF10 Tarmac 20x9's and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires in 245-35-20. Basically similar this setup, but the color is closer to my stock wheels. The picture is gloss black.

Oh, and my oldest daughter loves my 5th Gen Camaro SS, but she says it's too loud. lol

Very nice car! I like the looks of the 3rd Gen better than the 4th! But I am old and grew up around these!

THAT THING IS BADASS! I'd like to see more pictures of it inside and out!

Ford Performance Releases Gen 4 Coyote Aluminator Crate Engine The Aluminator line continues with Ford’s latest bulletproof versions. https://www.motortrend.com/news/gen-4-ford-coyote-5-liter-aluminator-crate-engines

I'm with you. I'd take a new GT500 and be happy. Might not be as fast as the Plaid, but still way fun and cool. lol I don't street race like these clowns roll racing to nearly 200mph at night. I do love stabbing it from a dead stop in sport mode to like 60 (3.x secs). I also like when I see people trying to get on it from a stop (flexing) and I just give it enough to effortlessly and silently walk away. lol My M3P is just a slow 11sec car, but it's enough to have fun and pull away from 98% of the clowns on my daily drive.

That Vette is over 1 second slower than a Model S plaid and a half second slower than a X Plaid SUV. I think you'd have more fun in the 9.2x sec S or 9.9 sec X. How would you feel to go to the dragstrip and get beat by me in a 6 seat heavy Tesla SUV that cost $91k in your 2 seat reverse engineered Ferrari Vette for $112k? lol Look, I love that ZO6. But after driving and owning a Tesla, I have seen the light. Plus, nearly nothing can beat a Tesla Model S Plaid, especially for its under $100k base price. https://www.tesla.com/models/design#overview Tesla Plaid's are smoking supercars and hypercars that cost 3x plus more. Helluva value to get a reliable 1,100rwhp daily driver that costs just a fraction to operate over it's ICE competitors. I have a value system. Don't hate me for it! lol

The faster one, always. LOL

Spinning ain't winning.....

If you listen to the far-left, that is their goal. Because they believe we're killing earth and the only way to save it is by neutering us. Meanwhile, China keeps building new coal fired power plants. Makes you wonder who is behind the madness?

1. The hysteria had to start someplace. Do elaborate. 2. None around middle TN that I've seen. More is gobbled up by new warehouses, apartment complexes and condos/townhomes/single family homes, etc., than anything else. Which makes freaking out over solar panels kind of silly. I bet 99% of your farm land is gobbled up by the aforementioned rather than solar by itself. That said... The decline is farming has been going on long before solar farming came along. It's mostly because it's so hard to make a living farming. Add the kids of farmers find out the land is worth millions in a quick flip and they cash out to the highest bidder rather than WORK the land for pennies. Even some of the farmers around here threw in the towel since land prices have skyrocketed due to demand for new housing. 3. Supply and demand economics. I don't like the decline in US farming and I fear depending on outside countries to supply our food for obvious reasons. but we're not arguing those facts. 4. I'm very politically active. Petitions are junk mail for politicians who don't care about junk mail. If you don't show up at their office, you're a nobody to them. 5. Because a lot of people have solar panels that sell juice back to the grid, etc. Why would there be windmills if they couldn't sell back to the grid? And lastly, because it is probably cheaper by some means (like buying cheaper green energy also gets them tax breaks), etc.

Research the diversified TVA grid... Power stations[edit] Main article: List of power stations operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority With a generating capacity of approximately 35 gigawatts (GW), TVA has the sixth highest generation capacity of any utility company in the United States and the third largest nuclear power fleet, with seven units at three sites.[3][16] In addition, they also operate four coal-fired power plants, 29 hydroelectric dams, nine simple-cycle natural gas combustion turbine plants, nine combined cycle gas plants, 1 pumped storage hydroelectric plant, 1 wind energy site, and 14 solar energy sites.[17] In fiscal year 2020, nuclear generation made up about 41% of TVA's total energy production, natural gas 26%, coal 14%, hydroelectric 13%, and wind and solar 3%.[17] TVA purchases about 15% of the power it sells from other power producers, which includes power from combined cycle natural gas plants, coal plants, and wind installations, and other renewables.[18] The cost of Purchased Power is part of the "Fuel Cost Adjustment" (FCA) charge that is separate from the TVA Rate. In addition, the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant is the only facility in the country to industrially produce tritium, which is used by the National Nuclear Security Administration for nuclear weapons, where it is used to supercharge and boost the explosive yield of the U.S. nuclear arsenal.[19] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Valley_Authority Out of all those sources, only 4 TVA coal fired power plants (14%) in TN. We have a VERY diversified energy grid. We could probably burn no coal if we just built 4 or 5 more NG plans. So don't let that Fake News Media get you too excited.

Folks need to understand, EV battery technology is still in its infancy. You know, like dialup was for internet. So it's only going to get better from here. That said, If I see battery degradation to the point I know it's going to be trash, I'll trade it off for a new one before I have to buy a battery. But fwiw, Tesla warranty covers the battery for 10 years 100,000 miles. I don't see my battery being dead by them as I follow correct procedures for prepping it. The people who had issues in the past were those folks driving them like taxis or Ubering, supercharging 3 or 4 times a day, and/or not following charging and prep procedures. Most EV's recommend you only charge to 80% for short daily driving and keep them plugged up when not in use to maintain the battery. You also set it up to precondition the battery before charging and driving. My M3P is setup tp be ready to drive by the time I leave for work and leave work for home. It is also setup to be ready to charge when I get home. Basically it preconditions the battery to drive or charge. It also will have your car defrosted, warm and ready to roll in the winter, or cooled off in the summer. Charging at home and only using superchargers on long trips like vacations is the best way to do it. I've seen no degradation in my battery in 24k miles. I charge at home 97% of the time daily.
