Well, it was delivery day today!

I took delivery of my MY this morning in Peabody, MA. A slight issue arose this morning when driving there I noticed somebody sideswiped my trade-in and left some sort of rubber mark all down the passenger side of the car. Luckily, no denting and I was able to spend about 30 minutes getting the rubber (or whatever it was) off the car. Found part of a side mirror cover near my vehicle.

It was very cold today, so I took a rather quick look around the vehicle when I arrived, and then sat inside and played around with things. The car was unlocked before I accepted delivery, which was nice. It looked beautiful, and everything looked in order. The whole process took about an hour, which included me inspecting the car, them working on my trade-in (took them about 20 mins to get the front plates off of it for some reason), and then waiting for registration. One of the Tesla workers got in the car with me and answered all my questions, then put on my license plate and I drove away. Very easy, just wish the weather was a bit nicer.

Afterwards, Ash and I drove to Marblehead for a quick lunch and then headed back home. We continued to play around with the car features. I spent some more time sitting in the car and setting things up when we got home, but eventually had to stop and join a Zoom meeting. Setup the car to be ready to go at 5:45 am tomorrow, so we will see how that goes.

OHNC

Most of today was spent being excited for my Tesla delivery day tomorrow and preparing for the OHNC meeting this evening. Tonight was the first time I would host the OHNC meeting as acting president. We had a few items on the agenda, and besides the East Boston PD having some difficulty getting into the meeting, everything else seemed to go smoothly which was nice. We also let our members know that nominations for a new board will happen this summer, so it will be exciting to see who will be taking over for us.

Now I will try and sleep and dream electric dreams.

Watched the F1 opening season race today, enjoyed it. In the afternoon Ash and I took a walk to the harbor and then had a drink at The Quiet Few before walking home. The weather was warm, although a bit windy and cloudy at times. I washed the Scion to make it look nice when I give it to Tesla on Tuesday. Still need to vacuum out the front when I am at school on Monday. We had some leftover Mexican food for dinner.

Rainy

A rainy Saturday. Watched some soccer and F1 racing. Worked out on the treadmill. Ash and I hung out at home on the couch with the chihuahuas.

Backdrop

Ash worked on the backdrop behind our bed all weekend, installing these panels she purchased. Right now there is some fairly ugly wood paneling behind our headboard, and now we have a nice modern touch with these raised white panels. There is still some work to be done, but it’s clearly a huge improvement. An in progress photo below.

I spent the afternoon working on meeting agendas for the OHNC and ordering a few items for the new Tesla that is coming in a week. I ordered a SSD in order to utilize Sentry mode as well as a license plate holder. Tesla give you a license plate holder that attaches to the front of the car with 3M tape. Not sure I like that idea. The holder I purchased utilizes the hardware provided by Tesla, but allows it to lock to the front bumper and is easily removable.
