I haven't pumped gas in 6 years. Then I picked up a GMC Savana at LAX and everything felt wrong.
After years of being 100% electric with the Cybertruck, R1S, and Model Y Juniper, jumping back into a combustion engine felt like stepping back in time. I found myself constantly reminding myself to actually turn off the engine, manually cancel turn signals, and figure out how to release a physical foot brake. I even took the van to Costco for a "retro" fueling experience, where I spent $27 for just 5 gallons of gas—an amount that could have nearly filled my Cybertruck's entire battery at home!
I also dive into the "vampire drain" stats for my Tesla and Rivian fleet after sitting parked for 8 days. You might be surprised at how little energy they actually lost. Plus, I explain the real reason I didn't just leave the Cybertruck at the airport (hint: vacation peace of mind is worth the rental hassle). Stick around for a sneak peek at a secret project I’m developing and a look at some international superchargers I scouted during my trip.
