What buyers usually get wrong
MoPac North from Slaughter is faster than it looks midday and slower than it looks at 5pm — the bottleneck is the Loop 360 merge, not the on-ramp. For Apple commuters, SH-45 → 183 is more consistent than MoPac at peak.
For Tesla, the SH-45 → SH-130 routing is the single biggest reason Circle C beats most other AISD-pipeline neighborhoods on commute. You stay off I-35 entirely.
