The Tesla Model 3 only has a touring distance of 220 miles on a single charge, which means that I won't be taking it on any long road trips. It's pretty much meant to be a car for commuting and local errands. On top of that, they're really a one-off kind of breed. There are no modifications that you can make to the cars to make them better, to make them your own. I think I will be easily bored with that kind of car. My original dream was to have a house that had solar power and to get an electric car, so that I could basically drive for free. Well, my priorities changed.
For a little while now, there's been this small notion of getting a Jeep Wrangler. I know, it makes no sense, since it's almost the exact opposite of the Tesla. I started looking around at prices on used Wranglers and realized that these suckers really don't depreciate very much over the years. As a matter of fact, it costs just about the same amount to buy a used 2013 vs. a brand new Jeep. So I started doing my research on buying a brand new jeep. By now, the cat was out of the bag- I told my wife and surprisingly, she didn't oppose me on it.
So I went online and requested a refund for my Tesla. The process was actually very easy and a physical check showed up in my mailbox 2 weeks later! It only took a week before we took a long drive down to Gilroy to buy the Jeep :)
