    It’s a Durango RT. It’s quiet ans no wind noise. But these seats are horrific . 14 hours and I was in pain. Never had that happen. I get uncomfortable and need adjustment. But damn.

    im either buying a raptor up here to drive back or swapping at Avis. I can’t do 14 hours back

    I think anywhere you're going at slow speed. You can rotate it to get a full 3d view like the video below but the default top-down view is the best to park in a tight spot

    In a parking garage

    I bought my M3P for $68K out the door in Nov 2021.

    Today, M3P’s are trading for $25-30K.

    I think the lease is your best bet. Wish I leased mine.

    Think I was about the same with the sales tax.
    Nah, we are done leasing. It’s like renting- investing in someone else’s goods.

    Yeah, that Tesla price drop-off was definitely an exception to normal depreciation. I almost bought a LR3 at the peak of prices o_O

    9 minutes to fill up with gas. That's to long I filled up my tundra in under 4 minutes more like 3
    So let's look at that. $80.00 to fill up the tundra. $39.00 to charge that battery. Do the differance is $41.00. What about your time? And always looking at the mileage till next charge and where are you getting it. The cost of the tire? And when the battery fails and it will that will be another $15.000 to $20.000 maybe more.
    Thank you but I will keep my gas .with gas ,you drive,pull into a station ,fill up and go ,gas and go. The only Wat to go. I bet as soon as you get in your EV you look at how far you can go , I don't .

    No one does that after a week of ownership

    And if you're fortunate enough to be able to charge where you live (home/apt), you always wake up with a full charge

    I charge at home, while I’m sleeping. So, I’m set at what level I tell it to. When I wake up, it’s set to the charge and temperature I told it to be at. Do you monitor your fuel level? Probably. Anxiety over it? Nah. Here’s what I have spent charging it this year;


    IMG_2905.png

    The battery? Here’s the warranty; (I purchased summer of 2022)

    IMG_2906.png
    Then there’s guys with 2-300k+ still on the original battery. You do understand ICE engine has more parts that fail, right? Should we examine the 2023 Tundra failures? Toyota is 3/36 and 5/60….

    If that’s accurate, the Tesla map will show what’s not working, and what is- if those are Tesla SC stations. Most kings only have the EA chargers.

    They are new. There are three existing EA's. The new SC's aren't up and running yet, but folks still pull up to try to use them. I was told that they are the new SC's. Probably will be up and running soon enough. I could be wrong.

    EA is a dumpster fire! I wouldn't invest a dollar in that company's stock.
