After living and breathing what felt like the entire inventory of every single trailseeker from the West to East coast I managed to find a Trailseeker at the price I felt was fair.

Out here in the PNW Trailseekers were flying out of showrooms with pre-reserved units of course and any available inventory being sold within hours of being listed.  

I was targeting the “sweet spot” in my mind which was the limited but got an amazing deal (at least on the West Coast from my perspective) on a Touring with roof rails and rear cargo mat thrown in.

Originally I had also targeted Daybreak Blue, but ended up with Brilliant Bronze and honestly the pictures/web configurator does not do it justice. 

One thing I do have to say is that Tesla v3 chargers while you can charge on them, the cable is not physically long enough to reach the NACs port on the front. I ended up having to park across two stalls just to get the car close enough.  I hear with v4 superchargers (the new ones with payment interfaces) those should be long enough, and my home charger which is a Tesla unit is plenty long enough.  

I wish there was a way to set the Trailseeker to auto fold in the mirrors when the car locked, but aside from those minor quibbles the car is everything I hoped it would be and more.

Obviously it’s no ultra lux unit and you can tell where they saved money in areas people care less about, but from the driving dynamics, interface, ride comfort and power there’s no complaints. 

I did have to drive over 160miles to pick up the Trailseeker but it held up well and got about 240miles (estimated with the 40 miles remaining). I honestly did get some range anxiety when I was going up the mountain as I was unfamiliar with the route I was taking back, but thankfully there was a downhill section that allowed for significant regen.
