You only live once so I enjoy trying different transportation modes of travel. I was a private pilot and owned several different aircraft both fast and slow in my 50 years of flying. My electric golf cart had air conditioning, heater, four seats, 40 plus miles of range on a charge and could be quickly sealed for different weather conditions. The golf car thing was fun but I am moving on. I will place a for sale ad today for it in the classified section.

We have a Honda 2020 Hybrid CR-V that my wife will continue to drive. I can use my Tesla to get to all of the locations plus many, many more locations that a golf cart could not take me to. Remember, I don’t play golf. With 340 plus miles of range on a charge, I find that I will only need to charge the Tesla for my usual Village travels once a week in my garage.

While not for everyone, it’s something that I look forward to using until the next interesting mode of transportation comes along. So, I don’t dislike golf cart traveling but I now want to try something different and a Tesla is different. I am enjoying my new 2024 Tesla M3 AWD long range that cost me $34,000!
