Also,
Once EA pulls their head out and starts maintaining their chargers, hopefully non-Tesla EV's will have a better chance of succeeding on road trips.

How about telling us some very basic info first?? Like, um I don't know, how about something important like, can you afford it? That doesn't make the only way you can get one is by making payments. Can you easily pay cash and not worry about going hungry? If so, then go for it. If I was going to rec...

Does your house have a decent-sized roof that gets a lot of sun? A solar installer should be able to run some numbers for you and generate an estimate of cost and ROI. Assuming a 50/50 mix of natural gas and coal, does a plug-in hybrid EV not make sense? I would think a huge power plant would have ...

how often will you be charging? l2 chargers are usually about 7kw. a 5-10kw system should be able to handle if use 10-15kwh per day driving, that is about 50-60 miles

squirm

don't over think it, just get a used honda or toyota that you can afford and move on with life.
don't get an electric car unless you enjoy playing hide and seek with chargers on road trips, and pray they work, (excluding tesla's).

I think Solaredge has a setup where you charge your car from their inverter.
the solar panel inverter will also take juice from the panels, you'll be able to see this from the energy received or delivered from the main meter.

Oh oh another car motor oil thread, these should be banned.
Anyways imo, no.

For those who are not a I'm also not a fan of rechargeables so the fact that it used D batteries is a plus for me. However it doesn't have a charge port for your phone. For those not a fan of rechargeable, why not? Have you tried the Li-ion 18650 batteries? I've used these for flash lights / strobe...

freeze some 2 liter water bottles, put in freezer and fridge before lights go out.

EA is increasing they're connector heads and locations at a rapid rate. They're next step is to ensure it doesn't continue operating as pathetic as it currently does. I'm not keen on their locations either, who wants to charge at a Wally World parking lot, not me.

But the TSLA stonk is priced for perfection.

Because you could get hit by a bus tomorrow and be in intensive care for weeks. I don't even like being without insurance for a day. But it's your gamble.

wife had her tooth removed last week, i went with her and also went in the dental room with wife so I could to talk to the dentist to make sure he wasn't going to try and talk her into something she didn't want. they were all wearing mask. no issues.

Why would sky high printer prices be a new thing? Seems obvious once all the work at home people buy up printers, there will be an over supply and prices go back down.

squirm

I've gone. No issues, they had me call them when I got there, so no waiting room basically then took temp and covid questions. Not a big deal.

That's not very heavy. That's about having 5 packs of 40 water bottles.

You're not going to get many replies on someone admitting they made a wrong decision. People don't like to admit they made a mistake, especially something like this. Kudos to the few that actually answered the OP's question and stated they regretted it.

What always worked for me was to change my thinking to consider that I am the one exploiting the megacorp. Exploit them to the greatest extent possible to your favor, ruthlessly, and that's ok, because that's business. Work as little as you can, while getting the most visibility for your work that ...

My wife and I shopped for her rings together. It's a more fun shopping together. She wanted to make sure I was happy with what she liked. It works out better that way, otherwise you'll probably get her something she's not 100% happy with but pretends she is.

I guess it's suppose to make them feel more empowered. I knew this one guy at work who wouldn't ever shut up. Even a simple conversation goes this way "My friend is a mechanic is says those cars are blah blah blah", "a friend of mine is a home builder and says blah blah blah", "A friend of mine know...

Temperature checks are more about keeping up appearances than anything else in my opinion. Our school is doing the temperature check and "touchless" soap dispenser. Personally I think it's all a joke just to make it look like they're doing something. But like I said above, doesn't matter, I'm keepi...

We have options for in class or distant. We're doing distant. I see no reason to bring them to school, they seem very good doing the computer thing and are ready every morning.

This thread is my new favorite show. Can't wait to see how it ends. I think they're both legit.

Buy a used copy on a CD or Amazon online or from eBay and install it. See if that opens the files. I very much doubt it's OneDrive.

There are legitimate reasons for not buying an EV such as a Tesla, but range anxiety isn't one of them any more. Not true if camping. Our next car will be a PHEV for this reason. The other car which is purely used for commuting, will almost certainly be a full EV, though. Still, I doubt it will be ...

my wife is a manager and she's tired of the politics. i told her she can retire in 4 years. How did you guys come to the understanding that you are the gatekeeper to when she can retire?

Smog is a contraction of smoke and fog that dates from the early 1900s. But smog has been around since the dawn of time. I was thinking that vehicle exhaust is more harmful then burning trees. Vehicle exhaust has more in it than just particulates. So does wood smoke, but the ratios can generally be...

Those early adopters who got free supercharging for life are probably even happier I’m an early adopter, and short of selling my car, I can’t think of a way to monetize the free supercharging.

Are you willing to lose $13,000? If not, then walk away. This is a scam. Tell him you'll only accept cash. And you want to meet at your bank to double check for forgeries.

They're vague about the long term impacts because they don't know either.

What I learned in this thread --- FIRE whether you want to or not. Develop that nest egg that JL Collins calls "Something Something Money".

Much of it depends on the solar credits from the utility. I'm surprised you didn't see a a drop to zero with a system of that size. Don't you have to pay simply be hooked up to the public utility? Like a base charge? That could easily be most of that remaining $59. Perhaps, depends on the utility.

buying new isn't a bad idea, people do it all the time. if you can't afford new, that's different. if the only way you can afford it is by finance, you've got a problem.
