    • Actually put on 1200, the lowest total I’ve had in… seriously can’t remember. I’ve been north of 4000+ for at least the last 10.     Pretty crazy how one low snow year constitutes global warming.  🤮

    • Well I live in Arizona now so I don't have any experience with it under 40f, but I imagine it's similar to our summer heat.  The ability to pre-heat or pre-cool the vehicle without burning gas is nice.  I can cool it down to a nice 72f in my enclosed garage without the fumes. But it's the behind the wheel experience that's just great.  It's so refined compared to even the nicest gassers I've driven.  If you see a gap in traffic and want to be in it, no problem.  It's up to speed instantly.  No downshifting, no building into the powerband, etc.  It simply goes, completely quietly.  No shift shock, no lurching, just smooth thrust, and this isn't even a blazing fast vehicle by EV standards.  Steering, braking, etc is all just smooth as can be also.  It just feels good.  After spending a few hours in the EV, then jumping in my truck, which is about as refined as an HD truck gets, it feels like going 30 years back in time. For me, so far, charging has been only mildly annoying.  In 2 months, there's been one time I had to wait on a public fast charger.  After installing a Level 2 charger at home, which was free with the vehicle, I don't really use the public chargers.  Our use case for the EV is one where it never really goes more than 100 miles from home.  My truck is the road trip vehicle since we're usually hauling our camper.  I might try a road trip to Vegas and back in the EV later this year and see how annoying it actually is.  But I can charge from 10% up to 80%, which gives me about 250 miles of range, in about 30 mins.  If the charger is somewhere interesting I can walk around for a bit, that may not be bad.  With our recent temps in the upper 90s, I get about 330 miles on a full charge, using the AC and seat cooling constantly.  That's not bad.  Imagine it'd drop to something like 280 miles in winter.
