• Over 2500 kilometers through France, Switzerland and (a touch of) Italy.
• New record with a single charge: 324km in Italy. Not planned, but forced by an incident next to an intermediary supercharger. Supposed to arrive with only 7% battery, made with 9% thanks to 90kmh driving in the trucks lane.
• Impressed by the regenerative energy feature: during the Switzerland to Italy pass, I was down to 7% battery and the system was telling me I will arrive with 8-10%. I arrived with 14%, but not looking forward to do it again.
• So the battery is still going strong.
• Can’t say the same about the AC compressor, which failed a couple of weeks before the road trip. Fortunately I was able to replace it on time.

Looks like the end of the road for Tesla Model S (at least in Europe)

Almost 2500 kms to the mountains, the sea and back. New record – 293 kms with a single charge.

The #yearly_roundup of things that I enjoyed this year.

1. Doing what I like. In 2023 I changed jobs. While remaining in the same field of IT security, the perspective, responsibilities and expectations changed. Combined with the working-from-home routine, it was a great year from a professional point of view.
2. Sticking to a healthy routine. Less active compared to 2022, but kept the wheels moving. Next year aiming for 500 hours of exercise time, 5 million steps and 4000 km covered distance.
3. Reading. Again a bit less than in 2022, but discovered a few good reads (Harry Potter among them ) and I enjoyed the new Kindle Scribe.
4. Refereeing football games. Loving it, looking forward for more in 2024.
5. The Worldle games (classic worldle, quordle, octordle, victordle, etc). Because sometimes you need to let your brain switch off.
6. Discovering the Loire Valley. One of the best holidays of the recent years. All thanks to my trusty 5 years old Tesla.
7. Two things that I am using for 16 hours every day: a Herman Miller Aeron chair and a Tempur mattress. None of them are cheap, but given how long I will use them I think they worth the investment.
8. The Titanium iPhone 15 Pro. For the first time since owning an iPhone, enjoying the case-less joy of using it.
9. A few series: Seinfeld, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon. Some things will never change.
10. No longer wasting my time on Twitter (or whichever letter it becomes). I replaced it with a combination of Substack, Reddit and Quora, because one must still waste their time sometimes…

A missed opportunity for the MacBook Pro to make it to this list, mostly because of the Finder and keyboard issues. To be revisited at the end of 2024.
