I have answered the question many times: “But where do you charge?” and confidently, I have said — “at any power point — you know, like a toaster.” Well, I was wrong; our trip to Winton in Central Queensland put our car, and our nerves, to the test. It wasn’t … [continued]
One of the hardest decisions we had to make when buying our Tesla Model 3 was which seats to get — the black or the white. Today, that would probably be the easiest decision — and I’m not using hyperbole here. We already knew this, but we knew it much … [continued]
