We are off to Yellowstone today! Should be great but crowded. Who goes to Yellowstone on the fourth of July? A lot of people do, but we don’t have a choice if we want to go there as this has to be the day! We pack up the Tesla and try to dry some things …

Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 26 Big Sky
We are off to the Big Sky country of Montana! Nether Kathy or I have been to Montana in a very long time so this was going to be fun. Wolf Creek Campground is right next to the I-90, but it turned out to be pretty nice. We got showers and a good night’s rest. …
Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 25 Back to Idaho
We start out our day In Tinkham Campground in Washington. We do a little fishing in the morning and I noticed something moving nearby the camp while I am doing some early morning work. It was a light golden color and long tail and I just saw it partially as it moved silently behind a …
Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 24 Going around the Sound
Like all things, there is the hard way to do things and the easy way. Why choose the easy way when the hard way is more fun! We are on the road again, but we are going to go around the Puget Sound and miss Seattle rather than just go straight thru using bridges, toll …
Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 19-23 Hanging Out in Sekiu
We are couch surfing in Sekiu Washington for a few days with the Model 3. It has been a great road trip so far seeing Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Washington so far. We are going to take a break and sleep on someone’s couch instead of the back of the car. Not sure which …
The Gig Economy – You are doing it wrong
Your first reaction is, f-off, of course I am doing it right. I have met many a Gig worker who ‘knows’ that they are doing it right, and they are not. You need to give me some time to explain. First, most people ‘think’ they know what the Gig Economy is, why it is, and …
Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 18 Sekiu
Today we reach one of our few, pre-planned stops. Sekiu Washington. We planned virtually nothing for this trip. Not the charging, not the campsites, not our route, nothing, except we knew we wanted to make 3 stops: Salt Lake City to see my son who lives there. Prineville Oregon to see our friend Shannon who …
Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 17 The Hot Springs
Today we are again going into the Olympia National Park. This park is about ¼ of the state of Washington. Yuuuge. We won’t be traveling far, just taking our time and having fun. This time, we are going to the Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort. They have 3 pools: Cold, Medium and Hot. It is …
Real Life Model 3 Road Trip: Day 16 Forks Washington
Today we leave the Kalaloch Lodge area and are heading to Forks Washington. From this point on, we have zero access to SuperChargers. No more hand holding with Tesla. From here, we go old school EV driving. We need to find a plug at some point today! Not all that worried really. What we have …
Actual Real Electric Car Range vs. Imaginary Range Anxiety
When I first got my Model 3, I really did not know how range and charging would work, and I am a Tesla fanatic. I know 10x as much about Tesla and their cars as your normal Joe. People constantly tell me I should be a Tesla salesman, yet, I could not speak to or …
