Trade my electric cart for a Tesla
 
2 Attachment(s)
Even though my cart can go fast, I am having trouble keeping up with carts going close to 30. So, I have decided to sell my cart to purchase a Tesla that can go extremely fast if needed.

I have had fun driving golf carts around even though I don’t golf and have no interest at this time in playing that game. I do enjoy playing pickleball and do some walking with my wife. Riding in golf carts has been an experience. As my garage has no golf cart addition, I must let the cart go to make room for the new Tesla.

My wife will have her car and I will have the Tesla to experience the FSD aspect of being driven around by a computer. Having been a computer store owner in my past life, I look forward to working with the Tesla computer to experience something new in my life before I am gone. I will try it and can always sell the Tesla to then purchase a Joby electric vertical takeoff aircraft when available.:smiley:

No problem, just keep it plugged in with an "extra" long extension cord.:jester:

You could probably fit a Fiat 500e on the MMPs :)

Or this...

Vehicle | Aptera

Or this...

Volocopter brings urban air mobility to life

The volocopter is really easy to fly...At least it is on MS Flight Simulator :)

You will LOVE your 2024 Model 3! We finally got ours a few months ago. Amazing. Our first EV. Everything about it is fantastic. Such a pleasure to drive around. Happy and safe driving to you…

At first I thought you were insinuating you were going to drive the Tesla on the cart path, LOL

Congrats! I hope you like it. My kids just bough a Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. It's a very, very nice vehicle.

When my wife's Acura MDX gives up the ghost, we're considering a Hybrid or maybe an electric.

But we'll still need something with the range to drive back to the DC area several times/year (new grandchild!)

Good for you. If we had a decent sized garage I’d be tempted to do the same thing. Keep the ‘24 RAV4 Limited Hibred and ditch the cart for an EV. Perhaps not a Tesla, maybe an Ionic.

One does not replace the other. You can’t drive the Tesla on the MMPs, so what you’re saying is you’re giving up using the MMPs. Personally the golf cart lifestyle is why we retired here, so we’d move before giving it up because the miserable heat/humidity isn’t worth it without the golf cart lifestyle.

Here's a thought; Sell your home and get one with enough room for two golf carts... (Don't spend that much on a Tesla and get a nice Hybrid car like we did , cheaper and has lots of gimmicks we NEVER use) and don't worry about being passed or going fast when you enjoy your new golf cart. I don't think you need an airplane. The secret to joy in living here is just enjoying stuff the WAY IT IS.

I found my model 3 just wasn't fast enough to keep up on the multi modal paths with these maniac golf car drivers. Hoping to upgrade to Plaid someday.

As fool is born every day. There is a reason golf carts don’t go fast.

The neighbor has the Smart Fortwo car - not much bigger than a golf cart. I want an Arcimoto basically an enclosed (if you want) 3 wheel electric motorcycle. But what is your golf cart and what are you asking for it
