An electric-scooter gift for Mum's 80th

Daylesford + Junee 2023

The real reason we headed back to NSW was for Mum’s 80th birthday, in the Hunter Valley, but we had to keep it quiet. We all pitched in for an EV for Mum – well, an electric motor scooter. We couldn’t get the box to the Model 3, so I pulled the contents out, which all fit in the boot.

Tom drove the scooter up the driveway, with Fran following in the Tesla, much to the amusement of all, and the surprise of Mum.

It is amazing how simple the motor scooter is. Basically an electric motor on the back wheels and a battery in the middle. We wouldn’t dream of having a petrol burning version of this.

As we were departing, we ran the Tesla light show, where it blares out music from the boom box, while dancing windows, mirrors and the hatch in sync. And of course the youngest got to try the fart seats, summon and go cart video game.

And lastly, a sneaky stop to go “awww” at some alpacas.

    1. Kylie Gilroy No. we bought the Enhanced Autopilot and boombox (pedestrian warning system) separately. I think Teslas now come with the PWS as standard.
