I had a Tesla Cybertruck on order for a year and a half, I got tired of waiting for it and this week bought a Volvo XC40 Recharge. I canceled the Cybertruck order and was reimbursed my $100 deposit in less than 10 minutes.

There are lots of new things to learn about owning and driving an EV. So far it’s been a very pleasant experience and a lot easier transition than I had anticipated.

I had heard Clark talk a lot about the the acceleration performance of his Tesla and thought I was prepared for the experience. I wasn’t, it is nothing short of shocking, you have to experience it to believe it. It does a 12-second quarter mile and 0-60 in 4.7 seconds. And the torque from a dead stop will press you back into your seat’s backrest.

It’s fun to drive again!

Yes, Clark says it feels like his birthday every day he drives his Tesla. Glad you’re enjoying your new ride and avoiding these high gas prices! 👏
