Good Bye to Gas stations was made possible today!

The dream finally came true today when my wife traded her Gas guzzling SUV to buy a Tesla Model 3 Extended range with twin motors. Taking delivery at Mt Kisco, NY dealership was very informative and unique experience for both of us.
We drove over 200 miles today and then charged the battery back in 45 minutes to about 90% at Panera Bread. It was fun to drive by many gas stations and not worry about what their prices are. Who cares now what they charge since we have no reason to visit them for auto fuel.
Sustainable Green and Climate smart communities should plan their energy strategy to include deep energy conservation measures, generate their own solar power and combine it with energy storage for resiliency.
Time has come for our communities to switch to EV transportation, get public transit buses to be electric and allow many more charging stations along the main highway exits. 2019 & 2020 will be start of EV transformation as many auto companies  announce their new EV models with $7500 tax credits. Nissan Leaf and Chevy Bolts would offer good values as Tesla Leads in this market with huge number of electric cars.
We are blessed to be the  Owner of one of them today!
Energy independence from dirty fuels for car, feels really good on December 30th.
Thank you Elan Musk for your Vision.
With Best wishes for next year 2019,
