I’ve got to give Tesla credit! This has been hands down the smoothest car buying process I’ve ever been through. No haggling. No dealership games. No random fees that magically appear. No salesman hovering over you trying to steer you into something you didn’t even ask for to increase their commission. I literally just picked what I wanted, ordered it online, downloaded the app, and the app basically walks you through everything like a checklist. Registration and title info is right there. Credit app is right there. Proof of insurance, same thing. And it keeps you updated the whole time so you’re not sitting there wondering what’s happening. Here’s what’s wild to me. I ordered my vehicle two days ago and it’s already in production. I already have an estimated delivery window, and I already have a VIN so I can start getting insurance lined up. When you stack it on top of how easy the demo drive was to set up, and how much that drive blew my mind, it just feels like a totally different world than the normal car buying headache. If the rest of this stays this smooth all the way to delivery day, I’m gonna be spoiled forever! Seriously… who still needs dealerships?

I just got back from a 4 hour demo drive in a new Tesla Model Y Premium and I’m still kind of buzzing. I've watched the videos. I’ve read the stories. I thought I understood what FSD was. I did not, not even close! Because when you’re actually in it and you let it do its thing, it’s not a “cool feature.” It feels like you just stepped a few years into the future! I tried everything. FSD, regen braking, the acceleration, Summon, self parking, super charging and switching between driving and FSD on the fly. And man… FSD was the part that messed with my brain in the best way! It handled city streets like a pro! It rolled through parking lots, found spots, and self parked. It went right through construction zones with workers out there directing traffic with flags, and it just… did the right thing. Smooth, not sketchy at all! I kept waiting for the moment I’d have to grab the wheel and save it. I never had to take over! Didn't even have one moment where I felt like I might need to! Then the built in Grok planned a scenic route that was actually fun, not just “fastest route” boring. And while it was driving, I played with Grok in Assistant mode and Unhinged mode and I’m not gonna lie, I was laughing out loud because it felt like having a smart, slightly chaotic co pilot that still stays useful. Regen braking was another shock. It takes like five minutes and your brain clicks and you start thinking, why does every car not feel like this? The acceleration is stupid quick! Summon was straight up wild to see in person! Watching that car drive through the parking lot to meet me with no one on board was crazy! I’m telling you, experiencing it is completely different than hearing about it! If you’ve been on the fence, go do a demo drive. Give it time. Try it on real streets, real parking lots, real situations. Because after today, I get it! I’m ready to buy.. NOW! What do you want to try most, FSD, regen braking, Summon, or just feeling that acceleration? @elonmusk - this is truly the future! I am amazed!

Good Wednesday mornin y’all. Today’s the day. Please say a quick prayer for my family. I’m as ready as I’m going to be. I hope you all have a great day. Please always remember to do something to make someone smile today. You never know what they’re going through.
