Tesla Week 1

I am ashamed to admit, I am really not fond of my new Tesla. I really miss my heads-up display, my locations buttons and my shifter knob on my center console. The car is so wide it barely fits in my garage. Autopilot does not work well on local/state roads. I don’t do well with…

Tesla Day 2

I went to the Outlet Mall in Tannersville, Pa today because it had a Supercharger. Since it is a Sunday and the highway was pretty empty I did a lot of AutoPilot. It is so unsettling, a car driving itself. I wonder if I will ever get use to this. Supercharging and the Apple Watch…
