OhMG! Nice. You'll have to take it easy for the first 500 miles, to break in the motor, before you really amp it up and see what the car can really do.

EV has a break in period?

I think it's a used car anyway so maybe irrelevant

Indeed.

I saw that and thought about my black and chocolate Labradors.
These 2 shed enough to weave a couple Indian blankets

Congrats Rob

So do you just like the Tesla or trying to be "nice" to the environment?

^^^This^^^. Seating the armature/stator pairs, especially on multi-motor EV's, is critical to keeping the power alignment between wheels.

In the realm of sleek machines, a tale unfolds,
Of a man named Rob, with a heart so bold.
Administrator of the Vette Barn, they say,
He embarked on a journey in a Tesla one day.

A Model Y, his chariot of choice,
Tricked out with features that make it rejoice.
With white interior, pristine and bright,
He ventured forth, embracing the electric light.

Rob, a great guy, a family man indeed,
Sought a long-range wonder, fueled by clean creed.
His love for innovation, ahead of its time,
Caught the attention of those who thought it a crime.

The members chuckled, with laughter unkind,
Mocking his choice, leaving no stone un-mined.
But Rob, undeterred, possessed wisdom and wit,
He saw beyond judgment, forging his own spirit.

To the naysayers, he simply smiled and said,
"This here is my new whip," his words widespread.
For he understood the power it held within,
A symbol of progress, a journey to begin.

His Tesla, a companion on roads unknown,
Gave him freedom to wander, to venture alone.
With electric pulse flowing beneath its hood,
He embraced a future where crude had withstood.

For in this world, where change is afoot,
Rob took the plunge, his beliefs absolute.
His Tesla Model Y, a testament profound,
To the strength of his character, quite renowned.

So let them laugh, those who fail to see,
The beauty in choices that set spirits free.
For Rob, a pioneer, led the way,
In his Tesla Model Y, a bright new day.
