Ride Experience
Smoking and vaping are not allowed as they pose health risks for myself and other riders.
Please let me know if you would like any heat or air conditioning adjustments.
Please let me know if you have a music preference, especially on longer rides. By default I will most likely be playing something neutral in the background such as instrumental piano music at a low volume.
Please use the rear hatch for large items such as luggage and groceries whenever possible.
Phone charging cables are available via the rear console. The left cable is USB-C, the right cable is iPhone (lightning). Both cables can be pulled out about a couple feet and retract to the console with a slight pull after use. (Please note: the charging cables are power connections only and will not transmit data.)
Chatting is always welcomed and will be at your discretion.
Don't forget your items! Please take a moment to check that you have everything upon departure.
If you enjoyed your ride, please feel free to leave a tip and comment if you would like. Thank you!
Vehicle Details
2021 Tesla Model Y - Long Range Dual Motor
To Enter - The exterior door handles have been modified from the factory configuration for easy entry. Pull to open.
To Exit - When fully parked, push the button at the top of the interior arm rest to open the door, then push outward. The window will slightly adjust itself during this time to prevent vacuum lock and enable the door to open easier.
Random car facts:
Range for 100% charge in 2025 - about 293 miles. I have noticed some battery degradation over the years, but it is very minimal.
Charge time: about 40 minutes from 0 to 100% on a supercharger (level 3) if pre-conditioned prior to arrival at the charging station. On a level 2 charger, I am able to get about 25 miles of range per hour of charging at 32 amps power delivery.
Acceleration: This model and trim can go from 0-60 mph in about 4.8 seconds.
Handling: Being all wheel drive, the car handles well in rain and winter conditions. It does tend to go through tires quickly though as the battery pack brings the gross weight of the vehicle to about 5,300 lbs.
Glass roof: Rated to block approximately 99% UV rays with a non-metallic coating.
Modifications for a comfier ride: Fully rubberized driver and passenger mats, rubberized cargo mats, seat belt covers, seat belt strap guides, USB charging hub for rear console, exterior door handles, interior dashboard anti-glare mat, screen-attached phone mount, USB charging hub for front console.
Range loss during cold and hot weather: About 20-40% depending on how extreme the weather is versus heating and cooling settings in the vehicle.
