    Happy holidays to all.
    I am off after today until next Monday. Using up the last of the vacation time.
    And the temperatures will be a little higher at the end of the week than they were in the beginning.
    This morning was already back up to 30F (it was 12F 24 hours before) with wind from the north, and I clawed my way up to 55.1 mpg after much of the trip in the high 40s to low 50s because of the sustained highway speed. No traffic in Christmas Eve.

    Have a great time everyone.
    Dropped youngest daughter at a friend’s house then to a pharmacy and then callied in at her house to pick up some food and then another shop on the way back. Later on went to pick her up from a pub, she’s staying at ours for Christmas :)
    Quite mild, 51F so better numbers even though shorter trips.

    April visits for end of year. 52F this morning with no wind - just a lot of fog and wet roads. The 18.3 mile drive ended at 62.7 mpg on the dash. Woulda been higher but very little traffic so everyone was in Jetsons Mode - flyin' low.

    Took the Tesla to a service center this morning, needed a warranty job doing (charging harness replacement - I’d had a couple of intermittent errors had popped up saying DC charging not available then disappearing). I also asked them to do a tire rotation and they spotted some play in a rear suspension knuckle so did that under warranty too :).
    While the work was being done, I went for a long 50.3 mile gravel bike ride down some local trails, round lakes, etc. (nearly 4 hours of cycling).

    BillLin electric everything with solar and geothermal

    Lucky you being so close to a service center.

    Mine is a little over an hour away, 48 miles. Fortunately I have not had to go back yet.
