Yep.... And I passed 8500 miles on the car yesterday.

I've never had a car with that high of mileage in such short time. Previous cars were 12-13k miles per year, and I once did just about 14k (the first year I had the E39, which included a road trip up to Napa and back to AZ)...

Its getting ~300 miles more per month than the Boxster. The Countryman is seeing ~300 miles less -- we just take the Tesla 95% of the time for family stuff now...

What do you attribute that too? makes sense it would get more use than a Countryman or Boxster cause its a bigger more comfortable car.

The Boxster is pretty obvious why we took my wife's car on weekends -- it just didn't fit all of us.

But back when I had the CTS, we rarely took it as a family -- even though it was the larger and more comfortable car. My wife still had her X3 when I got the CTS and then she had the 325 Touring later... We took the CTS maybe 10% of the time.

I basically attribute it to the Tesla just being less expensive to operate. Plus, my daughter likes being able to sit in the middle in the back and look at both the big screen and out the front...

"Less expensive to operate"?

How much did it cost?

Time to cash in those BitCoins!

Bitcoin, a fully encrypted and fully digital currency, has been used by a recent client of ours to pay for a Tesla Model S Performance
