unofficial podcast episode 7 for September 13, 2015. Hope you're all having a good week.

We get closer and closer to the big September

29th Model X delivery event in Fremont for the Founders Series cars. We will finally

get the official full reveal. It's been kind of a slow news week

otherwise kind of a calm before the storm hence the title of this week's

episode but yeah I boy it just today I had another reminder of how I absolutely cannot wait

to get myself a Tesla which is probably gonna be model three I doubt I'll be able to

afford anything sooner because I just I just took my car in for an oil change.

I've got an 06, Infiniti G35,

which is treated me very well, but yeah, just get the oil change,

but they always go through it.

Still, it's at a warranty, but I've been taking it to the dealer just for the oil changes

because they give a nice car wash, it's fairly convenient, but I know now that it's out of

warranty that it's like, I going to have to find a different service option soon and today I finally did that because I got a full report back of everything the car needs or they quote unquote recommend I'm doing

air quotes right now that you can't see just picture them in your mind and

infinities estimate for everything that they that the car either definitely needed or they recommended it needed was over $4,000.

This is for a 9.5 year old car with 80,000 miles on it.
