Charging the TeslaAfter a few days of owning/driving apreviously loved 2019 Tesla Model 3, I’m learning a little more about it each day … and as the 2003 McDonald’s jingle goes, “I’m lovin’ it.” 😊

So far the Tesla has surpassed my expectation as for driving pleasure. It is solid on the road, very fast when acceleration is needed. It is very comfortable for my recent 200 mile drive and a Supercharger stop for 28 minutes (some extra based on my “range anxiety”). The stop was simple — just plug/unplug and go as all the billing is automatic to my default 4% cash back Citibank Costco credit card
