Technology is kind of our thing ... we're always looked for ways to move ahead for financial and even emotional gain. Our first Tesla literally changed our lives. The excitement of bypassing gas stations was contagious. The lack of routine maintenance was very appealing to us. Tom's 2016 Tesla still has its original brakes at nearly 100,000 miles. Of course, there is some maintenance - tires, tire rotation, and washer fluid. Read our Tesla story. So, is there a learning curve? Yep, there is but we knew there would be. When we picked up our Tesla in 2016 there was a 90-minute 'class' before we could leave. After the demonstrator realized we knew more than he did, he released us!
