A decade old now, I'll admit it has needed a couple sets of rear shocks, but 175k miles now and I'm thinking....get it out to make sure it still runs like the top, or quiver in fear and put it back in the garage?

Dunno....you use your electric far more often than I do...endless running around whereas mine is more occasional. 1000 miles here, 1000 miles there. Maybe I should just keep driving the other electric, it has fewer miles on it, is 1 year newer, and hasn't had the horrors of crap shocks needing replaced yet. Plus, it is built in Japan, so, no Detroit involvement there.
Great article by the way. The wife has been after me for a Model Y, and when I compared it to other car makers more "car" makers than iPhone on wheels makers, she bashed the width of their small stupid screens as opposed to Elon's huge ridiculous thing he drops into his cars.
There is a picture in that article of a car with a screen that stretches about the entire length of the cockpit, and when I showed it to the wife she was like "that is cool! Who makes that and I can get it!" Buying a car because of a screen...geez. I told her it was Chinese and she couldn't have it and to suck it up and stick with reliable Japanese stuff that isn't chock full of Chinese spyware recording her every move. Just like the Tesla she wants I imagine.
