@TheTedHebert wait, you still get new features!? (j/k - my car still gets new features in updates too... I guess)

Fostering a kitten is a lot of hard work, but someone has to do it…

[Tom Cross @kingzorb]

We are fostering a kitten.

@TechOperator This looks more fun than the meeting I have in 12 minutes that I'm "preparing for" by checking X real quick...

@RoosterDefiant Solar + EV is such a crazy combination, it's hard to underestimate. How long do you get free supercharging?

@itskyleconner Regarding #1 when I first got my Tesla I was super nervous about doing a good job parking between other people's expensive cars. Then, after a lot of observing others backing in, I realized I'm one of the best at it even on my worst day. lol

@RoosterDefiant @RonDeSantis @HerbClinypnr Awesome video! Congratulations on the beast and most excellent trade up! Do you have charging at home?

[Tom Cross @kingzorb]

@TechOperator Doing this next week. Epicor Insights in Nashville. Should be a good time.

@TheTedHebert Probably could've used grok to add a stop to the navigation... but it would have to be "hey grok add a stop at a gas station or convenience store my wife likes"

[Tom Cross @kingzorb]

@TheTedHebert OMG you have to stop 4 times! Lol!! Enjoy your trip, and congratulations on the wedding!

[Tom Cross @kingzorb]

@EmmaScott charge at home: $2-$3, depending on how "empty" the car is. Charge at a public charger might cost as much as $20! (I also have solar panels on my house so during the warmer/sunnier months our electric bill is negative, even with lots of driving and charging at home).

@brandenflasch Wow, awesome story!

[Tom Cross @kingzorb]

@brandenflasch In this data is Circle K merged into Ionna, or did Ionna, really do that many stalls that quickly!?

[Tom Cross @kingzorb]

@teslaloosa Good point, the pink one is not the problem. lol

@TheTedHebert It could’ve been that we were in costume that day…

[Tom Cross @kingzorb]

Back in the day, Microsoft had a store across the hall from the Apple Store in mall of America. We stopped by the Apple Store to find it packed, but the Microsoft store only had employees. We didn’t really need anything, so we decided to be curious and see what the Microsoft store even had. We were suddenly surrounded by eager to please employees. It was kinda fun, kinda terrifying as an introvert.

@haning_will @JayCorniea Yes, we have net metering. It’s awesome!

[Tom Cross @kingzorb]

@ScienceDJX I totally understand why many people don’t like Elon, I’m there too. But death threats because he got a cybertruck!? That’s unjustified.

[Tom Cross @kingzorb]

@JayCorniea @haning_will Home solar yes, don’t have any storage yet, but that would be awesome for sure. Our biggest regret with getting solar on the house was not getting storage with solar.
