So this morning, like most Friday mornings, I stopped to get some breakfast. I always park and walk in. Most of the time it is WAY faster than waiting in the drive through. But today I was about 1 hour late getting to work, and the AM rush was over.
I NEVER drive through. Unless it is late and only the drive through is open. Or if my wife is in the passenger seat and tell me to drive through. The reason is that I hate idling. I don't idle anywhere. Hell when I turn my car on I am engaging the clutch within 5 seconds about 80% of the time, and within 10 seconds 95% of the time. My car also is off within about 5 seconds of coming to a stop in a parking spot about 95% of the time.
So here is the question. When I get my Tesla will I feel the same way? I am not sure. When I go to my crowded Friday AM breakfast place, I am still going to park and walk in because it is about 5 minutes faster than the drive though. But what about when the drive through is empty?
I think I will still probably park and walk in most of the time. I hate to wait in other people exhaust, and to slow up other people wastefully idling in line. But if that window is empty, and I just want some fries to get stuck under my seat, and a sticky black beverage to spill. I don't know what I would do.
This morning trigger this though in my head. About how much of a paradigm shift an EV is. I think my driving habits will, most likely slowly, change significantly. Hopefully my driving habits don't change where I drive slowly! :wink:
