  1. I trust my self driving car more than 2/3 of the drivers out there.......
  2. They do re-leather also. Great customer service.
  3. I have always wore Red Wings, they will replace the sole if you send them in. Thus you should be able to get years out of them.
  4. Totally normal. At 62 your hormone levels are changing. Happens in both men and women
  5. I think people should stop overthinking things they have no control over.......and should focus on what they can control.....just sayin.
  6. Oh, the sky is falling...... ugh. Name ONE thing the government created controls, that has done better than it was before......and did not do better once they got out.... This is a great thing. You can re-read this a year from now.
  7. Can anyone name a known investment advisor who recommends this? Other than internet social media? Serious question.
  8. All the above. He cannot find enough good people down here.
  9. A buddy of mine owns Roll Secure Hurricane Shutters in Naples Fl. They handle Hurricane Shutters, Doors and Windows. He is trying to recruit employees from the midwest for their work ethic. It is a great economy, lots of work, and the weather is fantastic. Just throwing this out there is anyone is looking for an opportunity. http://rollsecure.com/
  10. Lol. Sounds like the same thing the CEO of Blackberry said in 2007.
  11. You don't have to be a Narc to see what is going on in southern Ohio. We did a few cruises in SE Ohio and went thru some small towns. The entire population of the town looked like a scene out of breaking bad. We did not even stop for stop signs, some crazy stuff going on down there.
  12. Absolutely, The first thing you choose is battery size. They started out at 60 kW, then went to 70 kW, then went to 85 kilowatt. Because people start traveling and wanted more range, the 90 kW and 100 kW are now the most popular. And the smaller batteries have been eliminated. Once you choose your battery size, then comes your performance Adding a P to the designation, adds a whole Lotta things to the car in a package. It adds the carbon fiber spoiler, red calipers and an upgrade in performance, as well as air suspension. This package is usually pretty expensive, but is completely worth it if you’re totally about performance. The difference can be up to 1.5 seconds in the 0 to 60 category. Example would be a 85 would do 0 to 60 in four seconds, where a P85 will do it in 2.9 seconds. This is totally unnecessary as the standard car is plenty fast compared to most everything out there, but if you were really looking to blow people away and live performance, the P upgrade is worth it. From there, its either the basic interior, which is a ballistic cloth or leather. Now it’s a pseudo-leathe, called vegan leather, that is actually extremely buttery soft and wonderful. You can get a stereo upgrade, you can get dual home chargers which will charge faster at your house. In 2015 came the big additions of Ludicrous power, 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds. And they also added the all-wheel-drive which was dual motors. That designation is a D on the emblem. They also added auto pilot which allows a car to drive continuously in a lane for as long as that lane exist. The next phase is self driving, while this module is available for purchase right now. It is not active. This will allow you to put a destination in for the car and it will actually drive there, obeying all traffic lights, traffic and will make turns. For Ohio drivers, I always recommend the biggest battery you can afford, the D for all wheel drive, and what other options you want to add on top of that. The P, is just if you super love speed, and the other options are self-explanatory. The really expensive items are P, D, and auto pilot with self driving. Hopefully this helps.
  13. The reason that a lot of these Teslas have such low mileage, the original buyers of these vehicles did not have supercharging and did not travel a lot. The early concerns were that you could only charge it home. Obviously today that is completely different. When you look at the buyers between 2012 and 2014. Super Chargers were mainly on the East and West Coast in the smattering of them across the United States. Now they’re virtually in and around every city. You can punch a destination into your NAV system and it will tell you which supercharger you need to hit, and for how many minutes you need to stay there. It’s quite sophisticated. But the primary early adopter was a person that literally drove to and from work and did not travel a lot. Subsequently, The new buyer travels frequently, and the newer cars are racking up higher mileage faster than the older cars. You can nitpick any brand of car death. Hell, people still can’t decide whether Ford Mustang or a Chevy Camaro is the premium sports car. And those people will argue all day long till their death as to which one is better. But I will tell you once you own a tesla, regardless of what you think about the styling or the interior, you will absolutely want to stay with electric. I didn’t think I would ever say that. I still love internal combustion engines and I love the sound of a good exhaust. But for a daily driver, I can’t think of a better car than a Tesla. And when another electric car comes out, and it offers more features for the same or less money, I will certainly look. But I will be brand loyal until that happens. Simply because there isn’t anything comparable yet. Tesla is not only change in the world as to what your expectations are for an electric car. They’ve added features that every vehicle manufacture is copying now. The lane assist that I’m seeing on every car is been a Tesla since 2013. The automatic braking for when you’re about to hit something, has also been there since 2013. I see all the ads for the new Mercedes, Volvo, etc. and they act like it’s a brand new thing. I recently saw an ad for a Mercedes that is self driving. BFD, mines been self driving since January 2015. Once you have a car that drives itself, it is amazing the things that it catches that you don’t. I Actually have no problem taking a look at a text, when my car is self driving. It’s probably a better driver than me. Regardless of what you read in the newspapers or magazines, that is probably funded by big oil, these cars are absolutely awesome.
