My 2018 Tesla Model S

As an optimistic engineering-inclined kid in middle school, I always assumed the first new car I would buy would be an electric. Sadly, it was the third new car I bought that was a full electric.

But now it is here. I bought a 2018 Tesla Model S in June, 2018. And it is amazing. Like really amazing.

I have a bit of a longer commute and I'll share why I chose the Tesla.

I'll talk about some of the interesting aspects of owning an electric car such as:

Cost per Mile versus a traditional ICE (internal combustion engine)
Projected Maintence and Costs
Engineering tricks that make the Tesla suite of vehicles capable of over 300 miles range
How the Tesla Supercharger Network Works
and more
