Did a 1400 mile trip in my all time favorite car, Bluebell. I’ve been a loud pipes+big engine girl 30 years, but switched to EVs for the reliability.

As a solo woman traveler, it’s absolutely imperative that I have a reliable car. I use the Tesla charging system exclusively since getting a NACS adapter, and it’s opened the world.

Even in the Southeast US, including Alabama, I travel with little worry about finding a charger. Planning for problems and using ABRP pretty much keeps you in check.

I overcharge what ABRP tells me, so I probably spend more time at chargers than I should, but if 5-10 minutes gives me peace of mind? I’m doing it.

HDA makes interstate travel an absolute breeze. After 11 hours on the road one day I was so energetic and felt so good I managed to stay up to 3am after arrival at 7pm. And I’m 43!

It’s so comfortable. And the efficiency! I keep cruise on 72 99% of the time and made amazing time and amazing efficiency.

I love this car and am really enjoying getting more confident with charging and traveling. I’m headed on a 1800 mile trip to Michigan next month!

I also camp in my Kona. It’s an absolutely ideal car for me and my lifestyle. I’m a single mom who works remotely (yay! Onboard WiFi!), and I travel almost exclusively alone.

EVs are the way to go. Avoiding gas stations as a woman is a HUGE plus.

ALSO, it cost me about $60 in charging for one way, and was more than double in gas for someone else I know who took the same route.

700 miles for $60. And energy left when I got there!

I had a dating app profile for a single day before I got tired of having to talk to them.

I’m 43. I would like a partner again some day. Apparently, not today though! I can’t even force myself to give a shit about them. I’m so much more interesting than all of them🤷🏻‍♀️

Do I just wait this out? Will I ever go back?

He tried negging me a couple times over the past few months, and I started watching him close after the first time.

This man was a DOCTOR OF PSYCHOLOGY, and has absolutely no self awareness. He was a terrible partner and used intermittent reinforcement and love bombing to try and force emotional attachment.

He moved to negging when that didn’t work.

I should have left him months ago, but I was interested to see where it would go.

And it wasn’t a failed experiment! I learned so many new RED FLAGS in men.

He was a real son of a bitch. Full of hubris and bullshit. And this man is 48! I watched him throw a temper tantrum one time! Just like my child!

I’ve been wondering when I would have enough and end it, and last night he hit my threshold.

I literally stood him up, made him put his shoes on at midnight, and shoved him out the door saying, “be gone, bad spirit!”

He told me to have a nice life, and I already do, so I told him if he came to my house again I’d call the cops.

These men are mother fuckin trippin.

And to people wanting details about what he said, go be messy elsewhere. I understand the curiosity, but it’s really not shit I’m interested in sharing.

I’m very healthy, and it was total bullshit he spewed just to try and get me to value myself less and not leave him.

And he IS NOT the father of my child. That’s my ex husband, who I also had to throw out! Im 43, and I’ve had many relationships.

He doesn’t mind laying in the sun, holding down the drapes, and just observing the world from our fort.
