Roads here have been getting more crowded, but it's still NOTHING compared to CA traffic.

Yeah that's the thing, there's tons of traffic here, gas is constantly over $4 a gallon (it's $5 in parts of LA), and I usually do a 2 hour drive to our second house in Monterey each weekend. This alone makes it the perfect commuter and road trip car, especially since I have free supercharging and a station by my house. We don't have nice open roads and backroads here in CA so driving can be a hassle at times. The Tesla just takes the edge off and makes it such a peaceful experience. I just did a road trip this weekend 3 hours north and man is it peaceful just sitting setting the autopilot and having it to all the work on the freeway and deal with traffic. When I got home last night though I did take the M3 out for some fun lol
