Unfortunately I didn't get the app until March 19th, but in that time I've driven 982 miles (1,505 miles total), charged 60 times and added 345kWh (used 364kWh) at a cost of $46.23.

I'm also averaging 316Wh/mi, which is right around 80% efficiency. I bought the Performance. I'm gonna use the Performance
Better not get that Tesla insurance then... Guessing it's not going to cut your bill by 80% or whatever ridiculous number was thrown out.

Bro the Twitter shills say Tesla Insurance pays you to insure you. You're literally the dumbest person on earth if you don't have Tesla everything.

Just make sure the Tesla everything stops and ends at $TSLA stock, and idolize Elon - for he can do no wrong.

That's the big benefit of working for a California company is that they pay out a lot in bonuses and stock options even if the salaries are close to what you'd get elsewhere. Otherwise there's no way to afford a place to live out there.

None here either, but I have so much PTO every year that I lose a couple days.
That & my company is super flexible with remote work, and my boss has been extra flexible with me needing an hour or two here & there for this house stuff.

What kind of Mods are there? i know there are some lips, spoiler and wheels obviously.

Is there any like performance mods? Since you can't modify the intake, header or exhaust obviously

I'm trying my hardest to not fall into that trap. I've got too many parts from the FRS, and some from the Civic, Prelude, CL and IS300 that just sit in the garage because I have something new and shiny to play with. I want those parts gone before I start wrenching on the 3.

Suspension, brakes, wheels, tires, cosmetics, etc... Basically everything outside of engine mods are still applicable to EVs.

I wish! Paternity leave is a rarity in the United States, unlike Europe.

I have 220 hours of PTO right now, and I get a set yearly amount, but you can roll over any extra hours but no more than a year's allotment. I'm taking 7.5 days off initially, and saving the rest for random days or Fridays in the summer and the usual days off around anniversary and holidays.

At least my wife gets 12 weeks of paid maternity leave.

Damn, no paternity leave even in CA? That sucks!

Most med device companies around here have maternity/paternity leave of 6+ weeks, it's pretty common now. My wife got 12 weeks paid leave.

You do realize you're in the US, right? Most companies don't even offer maternity leave. What makes you think they'll offer paternity?

I was lucky that my company gave me 8 weeks of paternity leave. But my company is pretty progressive.

Wow, you were not even slightly exaggerating.



I had a friend in H.S. (and after) that had an early 80s SR5 Corolla hatch. He also had a Cessna 152 and turned the Corolla into a "plane" by cutting his steering wheel & making a hand throttle out of (based on my murky recollection) heavy duty plumbers tape. He was a serious nutcase.

Look. You get all the benefits of a loud exhaust without worrying about getting pull over.
Sounds like a good buy to me
