All the things you listed Dan, where some of the same concerns we mentioned years ago when they first started becoming mainstream and which many told us we were nuts too. Yet here we are.

Know what else to ask a Tesla owner ? Ask them about support, about repairs. You get in an accident, they are more prone to total that car even in minor situations. Ask about the turnaround time to get your car fixed. Ask about authorized shops to do the work, locations. Ask about resale value when that Tesla is out of warranty.

I don't have a grudge against EV's, but it's a niche market, like high end audio. It will work for some, in certain lifestyle conditions, but it isn't a replacement for gas cars/trucks. It certainly isn't a safe the planet scenario either, but if it fits your life, knock your socks off.

Geoff, any chance you have sleep apnea? That is a surefire cause of high diastolic pressure. Does your significant other complain about snoring?
But yeah, salt is also a cause. Tortilla chips, processed foods, preserved meats, etc. Caffeine also causes mine to spike. I've cut back to 1 cup of coffee these days.

@BlueBirdMusic, you're absolutely right, it should be good and I'm counting on it. It sounds like I'll be doing the same thing as you. I recently received my new cuff and tablet for the daily's and transmits.

And the reconstruction of my diet!?!?! I know it's for my benefit but dang, I told the Doctor, "I like BACON with my bacon."

Thanks for relating my friend, I appreciate it....and uh, your very last sentence, made me spit coffee
