Many American couples seem to think that they need two cars and a big “honkin” full-sized pickup truck to address any situation that might come up!
My Model 3 wasn’t equipped for trailering, so I had a receiver installed at a local U-Haul dealer. The Model 3 is really low, so I have a ball mount with a 6” riser to get a trailer on and off. You might not think the little Model 3 is good for trailering. Observers are really surprised to see my little EV pulling my 3000 lb ski boat out of the water at the boat ramp . It’s amazing what you can do with two motors and 450 hp total. I can’t even feel the boat when I come up the ramp.

I recently upgraded from a big iMac to a Mac Mini with a tiny 8 TB external SSD drive. I spent $200 each at Amazon for two amazing 32” 4K monitors so that I have one on each end and don’t have to transport one. I intend to buy duplicate bikes for each end so that I don’t have to transport them either. However, I don’t have the $10,000 that would take at the moment.
