Gone in a Storm

After repeated delays, the Model Y has finally been picked up.  Yesterday had it’s share of frustrations as well as the driver didn’t arrive until almost 45 minutes after the promised arrival window closed.  We had storms all day so I was hoping we could send the Model Y off during a break in the precipitation.  When he arrived we had one of those breaks, by the time we were loading the car rain had resumed in earnest.

It became instantly clear that this guy had never picked up a Tesla before, he had no clue how to start it with the key card.  I walked him through the process.  I also had to hop on the car trailer to verify the car was properly in park.  I told him I needed a bill of lading to send to Vroom to verify the car was picked up.  He handed me a hand scribbled form with very minimal info.  I later got a more detailed form emailed to me.

It felt weird seeing the car I was so excited to pick up in February getting hauled away less than 5 months later.  I just reminded myself of the sweet payoff that awaits in August or September, a brand new, faster and longer range equipped car.  Now all that remains is making sure the cash is transferred both to the bank and myself in a timely fashion, the most important detail of all.

It didn’t take long for me to verify that my Apple Air Tag was functioning properly.  I have been tracking the car’s progress, right now it is a little north of the Orlando area.  For me sacrificing one $30 air tag is worth the fun of being able to see exactly where the car winds up.

Today is the last day of my my 3 day work week.  I have off Friday, Monday and Tuesday.  I have several small projects/large chores on the docket for that time period.  I also hope the huge influx of rain water that has reintroduced standing water on the property dries out a bit.
