I finally got my new girlfriend today, and the mats fit perfectly. Not as beautiful as my wife, but still a stunner.
Just wow. So smooth and powerful. And the sound system is crazy, esp at 11.
Got the pic, and she went into the garage until she's wrapped.

Keep looking outside to see if anything changed, but the main piece is still missing.

Thrilled to own shares of the company that makes all of the rockets on my desk (except the Saturn V)!
Seeing all the allocations of just 1 share or even 20, I guess I'm one of the lucky suckers that got all of the shares I requested in order to be someone else's liquidity!

I just checked, and although the data is old, I want to make sure you all know there is a chance that I am a bot.
I'm still in the green, so you are relatively safe in our interactions, but I may have some bot-like activity. Maybe at 3am when I should be sleeping? I'm not sure.

Went to lunch with a colleague today and gave him an extended drive (including a couple Launches, of course!). He has a nice Audi.
I just got this Teams msg:
"So, after you left, I picked up some tacos for my wife and then got in my car and looked at the dash and the interior and wanted to light it on fire. Burn my car to the ground. And my AC doesn't really work. I was sort of perfectly chilled with your car seats. You have the life."

We crossed 6,000 miles in the first five weeks of using our Tesla!
5,000 of those were driven for me. I never expected that, nor did I expect to appreciate it so much. FSD was supposed to be a 'while my wife is in the car' feature, but I use it a lot more than that. Something about it being like magic.
It's a Plaid, so I'll never be at 100%.
But... 5,000 miles not driven by someone who loves to drive, in a car meant to be driven? That's amazing.
So glad I didn't wait another day to get the racing taxi.

Have you ever just hit FSD and let er run?
I did that last night after supercharging. I wondered if it would bring me home.
It didn't. Instead it passed a freeway and major arteries and drove down a quiet residential street to the one street that goes under the RR tracks to a commercial/industrial area.
It pulled into a parking lot and went around the back side of the building before returning to the street and continuing on in a direction that was completely random.
It was 1am, I hoped nothing bad happened to me back there because my family would forever wonder what I was doing in the back of a business at that time of night π

Thanks @Tesla!
What a privilege to own this beautiful technical marvel. It's a game changer! With only 111 total miles on the odometer, we took off cross-country on an epic 5,000-mile trip.
Letting the car drive us was so relaxing and amazing!
In March, I drove CA to MN in a gas-powered vehicle. It was exhausting fighting the strong crosswinds much of the way and staying so focused on the road the entire time. The 182 hp car was also pushed to high rpms, trying to keep up with the 75-80 mph speed limits thru the mountains.
The Model S didn't even sweat while it did all that driving - in both directions!
Smooth and quiet, unless we had the tunes at 11 (in which case, it was still smooth).
Four adults (plus a dog for some of the trip - dog mode engaged at Bryce and Zion). Multiple national parks and national monuments, mountains, prairies, the ocean (Hwy 1), deserts, farmland, and of course, the Tesla Diner.
Just wow! Can't wait for the next trip.

Good food throughout the trip. The Tesla Diner was really really good (but we expected that)! A must stop.
The surprise was Casa Bonita. It's not the food from the 70s, 80s, or 2010s. It was also really good (albeit much more expensive than the prev cheap cafeteria line food).

Way back, when I bought a skidsteer, I used to open the garage door just to take in the aroma of the fluids, and I would try to think of things I could dig up in the yard. Usually I just went out and spun around for a while and moved dirt for fun.
I'm having the same issues with the S. I open the garage door and stare at it. I just want to drive or have it drive me. Doesn't matter where or why. I'm trying to think of excuses to go out. Def not combining trips!

My wife didn't get upset with my driving at all today. Took a 60 mi roundtrip to pick up some chairs (yes, they both fit in back of the S!), then picked up my m-i-l to bring her to urgent care (she's fine). All smooth on FSD. Then while they've been in the Dr, I've been Plaiding!

We're home.
We put >5,000 miles on my Girlfriend in 12 days. FSD handled almost 4,400 of them - ie ALL of the long, boring stretches, the high-speed interstates thru the mountains, the nighttime driving, and the rain/snow/fog conditions.
The rest were self driven because: Plaid.

Started with Casa Bonita last Friday. Then 151, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Bryce, Zion, Vegas, San Diego (including Point Loma/Cabrillo Nat Monument), the Tesla Diner, Hwy 1/Big Sur, Monastery Beach (remembered that as a kid), Carmel by the Sea, Kings Canyon Nat Park, back thru beautiful and stunning Utah and CO,...
I've been sitting in the back seat since NV. Son watched it drive to Grand Junction, my daughter has watched it drive since then.

She got a bit dirty on the trip but is still pretty.
My son didn't stop talking about how awesome he thought the car was and how great the trip was in it.
