After waiting almost five years, we finally upgraded to MIDDY 2.0, our 2026 Launch Series Tesla Model Y. We tell the story of our experience and offer suggestions on whether or not you should consider upgrading too.

Delivery of MIDDY 2.0 (2026 Launch Series Tesla Model Y) is just days away! We summarize how to perform the same pre-delivery tasks we did last week, unmask the meaning behind a Tesla VIN #, and provide an update on our 2025 Travel Like Robert Roadtrip Series.

After nearly five years, it's time for MIDDY 2.0!

We'll share the experience of ordering our third Tesla vehicle purchase with you!

We took advantage of our adventure in watching Blue Origin's first launch of New Glenn to try out FSD 12.6.1. We share our first impressions after getting a 2nd Wave Version Lottery Win and explain how one version of Tesla software and two versions of FSD can be downloaded to HW3 and HW4 cars at the same time...

This is a LONG episode because there is SO MUCH different between MIDDY 1.0, our 2020 Tesla Model Y and the upcoming "Juniper" refresh of the 2025 Model Y.

Just be glad I didn't include all the software changes, we would have been here for DAYS!

And yes, Grok did the rendering...

We go into LOTS of detail to answer these questions that all Tesla owners of cars purchased in first part of 2023 and earlier are wondering:

1. Is HW3 Legacy
2. Will HW3 EVER get FSD V13?

Yep, it's an EPIC episode, get your popcorn ready!

Should I even admit I've had Attention Monitoring (Tesla Hands Free) since July 2024? Maybe I shouldn't even remind my listeners that I've had this since September of 2021! Yep, back then it was Driver Monitoring System, and so much has changed for the better.

Oh, and yes, I've had 12.5.1.5 since August 28th... Is it really worth the wait or should you just be happy with 12.3.6?

One year ago TODAY we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary.

Hear the details of a day we will never forget as we describe our experiences of Yellowstone Lake, the ScenicCruiser, and Gull Point Drive.

Today's episode in the #MiddyGoesToYellowstone series shares some tips and tricks for your trip to Yellowstone. I'm sure it's on your bucket list. You need to schedule it! Yellowstone is an ever changing, amazing place that is truly unique in the world. Enjoy hearing how things went on Day 5 of our trip!

Our first full day in Yellowstone doesn't disappoint. We check out the Marina where we'll soon ride the SceniCruiser on our anniversary day as well as travel to the east entrance for the first time. And the adventures never end in Yellowstone as I have to avoid the female elk to safely get to the free charging stations at Teal Dorm across the street from the Lake Hotel.
