...apple pie, and a WHAT? Our new Tesla Model Y is badazz. We've had it, a little over 2 weeks, and this thing is a blast to learn, and drive. The app is so cool! I guess you call it a small SUV. It's all-wheel drive, works in the country, handles the 115 miles commute to Dallas, from Scroggins, no problem, has tons of storage, and costs a little less than half of what our gas vehicles consume on the round trip to Dallas, including errands, and appointments in the city. Yeah, you can spend 40 minutes, at a Supercharger (getting up to 80% charge), but for me, it's just time to catch up on work, or take a nap. We financed it when they had a deal for less than 1%. Put $10k down, and may sell one of the trucks to pay it off. You can find these, used, on the auto trading websites, for around $25-$40k, depending on year, and model (mostly less than 3 years old - models Y and 3). We're definitely a gas vehicle family, but adding an EV, has been a fun, and a common sense choice. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-13-232206-v1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-13-232207-v2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-13-232208-v3.jpg)

Had a white one like that parked next to me yesterday. I had to look at the emblem to figure out what it was.

Got it for $2k, off craigslist - 1200 miles, about a year old. (not for sale) https://www.lancepowersports.com/models/cabo200i.htmlAwesome scooter! Probably would have gotten a different color, but the deal was too good to pass up.

Just got this via email. Good time to add a Tesla to your fleet. We have 5 gas, and one electric. Well, 2 electric, if you include the golf cart. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-13-233633-screenshot_2024_07_19_120428.png)

HOW MUCH?!?!?! Great Caesar's ghost, I can't afford $123k for a vehicle, ANY vehicle!!
Besides, I want a vehicle that will run when it's cold

I really wanted a Cybertruck when they first started showing it, probably five years ago. I didn't see one in person until last week, saw two of them. I don't think I could drive it. I just passed them on the road, I can't speak to their quality or driving comfort but they stand out like a sore thumb. A purple Lamborghini would draw less attention. It looks like DeLorean and a Hummer H1 had a baby.
