Highlights on the Tesla Revolution with Dayton Janz
Tesla enthusiasts and owners gathered for a lively conversation during the latest Tesla Talks, together with Jim Csek, Kayla Caruana, and this episode's guest Dayton Janz.
The trio shared their thoughts on the Cybertruck's growing presence and personal stories of driving Tesla vehicles.
The Cybertruck was a major talking point. Kayla described seeing several over the weekend, while Dayton shared his excitement about spotting a purple-wrapped one. Jim joked, "If you want all eyes on you, forget a Lamborghini, drive a Cybertruck."
Dayton, who has owned his Model 3 for four years, praised its reliability: "It’s never let me down. Whether I’m driving manually or letting autopilot take over, it’s a joy."
Jim recounted a life-saving moment with Full Self-Driving: "The car braked for a deer I hadn’t even noticed, it’s incredible."
They also highlighted the financial benefits of owning a Tesla. Dayton emphasized: "I’ve saved a lot on fuel. Driving from Winfield to Kelowna, my projected savings are $161 a month. Plus, charging stops are quick and located in convenient areas."
Kayla agreed, adding that the stops often align with other errands: "It's not even inconvenient because I’m already stopping there anyway." Financial perks of Tesla ownership was also discussed and Kayla pointed out that incentives like referral credits and government rebates make Teslas increasingly accessible. Dayton joked about the charging savings: "It’s even cheaper than parking at some places!"
As the conversation turned to the future, the hosts were unanimous in their praise for Tesla’s vision. Kayla summed it up: "If you’re on the fence about buying one, just try it. Tesla makes it easy to take a test drive with no pressure."
With the Cybertruck revolution underway and Tesla’s continued innovation, it’s clear the electric vehicle movement isn’t slowing down.
