Gig Wheels EV

GigWheelsEV04 is here! She is just a tad fancier than her brothers and sisters. She is a "Long Range" version, 4-Wheel Drive and also "acceleration boost," whatever that means.

She's pretty!

Added another model 3 to the group!

Tesla really tried my patience with this purchase. I found the car in Knoxville but it said it wanted to ship to to Charlotte at a cost of $500. So I put my zip code as Knoxville. After sending the rest of the $$$, insurance and paperwork they said that they had to ship it to NC. I fought and fought. If I put MY zip code in it shows me Knoxville cars! So I can have THAT one and pick it up in Knoxville but not THIS one? When it's already already in Knoxville?

After about 100 text messages a manager finally called and apologized. That the issue kept getting escalated and escalated and finally someone went "Yeah that's stupid! You want the guy to driver further and in the opposite direction to pick up a car AND charge him $500? Let him come pick up the car in Knoxville. We've sold 3 cars today going to NC."

So we'll head over to TN to pickup what I'm sure we'll call "the black one" until we have multiple black cars. Officially though it's GigWheelsEV03!

Here she is! GigWheelsEV02. A 2021 Tesla Model Y that we got in Knoxville on Monday, and have her out on Turo to a lovely family from Florida on Thursday!

Dear god she's only been on the road for a few days! Glad that I picked THAT parking spot and not the one just to the right.

There she is! GigWheelsEV001! 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Plus.

While not really a Tesla fanboy, I have to admit that it's a neat car. Lots of cool technology that will be useful for the application we are planning.
