    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Also they're pointless, doesn't protect the cam tabs and adjusters, but I'd argue those are stout enough anyway if you have the TC cam tab gussets

    True, I've never felt much of a need for LCA skids, I've knocked my LCAs against a few rocks but nothing bad has come of it aside from some scrapes and bruises

    Normal. We had to drive a few cities over because all of the supercharge stations were full around us. The map said 10 out of 12 stalls were free, and when we got here we got the last stall. There is a waiting line of Teslas waiting to charge.

    I thought this wasn't supposed to be a problem what with overnight charging at home being a thing.

    Most of these are in shopping centers, so it’s just people who want to get a charge while they eat or shop. The ones on interstates are usually empty.

    Seriously every other car here is a Tesla. They have become more common than the Toyota Prius.

    That's the absolute truth. I can be a tightwad, but I gladly exchange my hard earned dollars for gasoline to be able to drive the Cruisers.

    Ugh...I think they look way better than a Prius but I'm just not sold on electric cars yet. As evidenced by where you're at, charging stations aren't even plentiful enough to accommodate the Teslas on the road. Having to map out your trips based on limited charging stations doesn't sound fun to me. Maybe for commuting around town it's not a problem. Maybe I'm just a fossil fuel addict.

    They aren't supposed to be long distance vehicles really, you have to have a real car too basically. But this guy explains it better than I do and I encourage you to watch this and his other videos because he's a good dude with a good point to make.

    I'm not at all sold on electric either, but it's neat and it keeps lame people with little vehicle needs from using my fuel.

    Yup. I take a boat from the Emeryville Marina outside Oakland, and we travel about an hour and a half to outside the Farralon Islands — 30 miles off the coast of San Francisco. I mostly do rock fishing, but sometimes I do pier and shore fishing.

    I go crabbing sometimes on the Pacifica Marina on the Pacific Coastline. Haven’t had much luck lake fishing. There’s this Tributary outside Alameda where my Tesla is charging right now on a road called Doolittle Dr. outside Oakland Airport. One year they must have come up for spawning because the Mackarel we’d catch was crazy. I’d have a four hook line and as soon as I’d drop it in the water, I’d have four Mackarel. The shoreline was packed full of people with several buckets full of fish.

    They’re damn common in Europe. I rode in a Model X Taxi when I was in Amsterdam.

    I don’t like fishing at all, they stink, they’re slimy and it can be pretty boring.
