Tesla Brakes Work

Yesterday my heart rate got a little jacked on the drive to Rogers City. It’s awesome that the Model 3 always has a dashcam recording (when you have a USB stick plugged in) and you can save the clips. First, a deer ran across the road.

Of course this happened on the only stretch of highway where the speed limit is 65 mph, so I was cruising along at 70. You can’t really tell from the video, but I had to make a full slam on the brakes and everything on the back seat ended up on the floor.

I shit you not, less than a minute later…

An older woman made a move to pass with seemingly no speed. I saw it coming so I slowed down really early and moved over to the shoulder. The vehicle being passed slowed down quite a bit too and she still didn’t have much room to squeeze in. Fucking idiot!

West Coast Road Trip

Friends, I need your help. This summer, after watching the CrossFit Games in Carson City, CA, I’ll be driving up the coast with a couple of friends. Probably a lot of driving up the 1, maybe some through the mountains. I imagine we’ll want to hit up the big cities of San Francisco, Portland, and most likely fly home from Seattle.

If you’ve done part of the drive or live out there, what are some suggestions for must stop places to see, eat, hike, whatever? We need to start planning and I’d rather start with a list from people I know. Would it be smarter to plan out our destinations each day and have rooms booked or wing it and let adventure be our guide? I kind of would like to wing it, but maybe that doesn’t work so well out there. I don’t know. Any suggestions or tips you can share would help a lot. Thanks!
