I’ve towed my boat 1,100 miles so far this summer, the last 130 miles were yesterday’s trip to Lake Minnetonka. I subscribe to my company’s $50/mo package that gets me up to 1,200 kWh with no overage charges. Last month was 1,500 kWh because I towed frequently, and my bill stayed the same. I’ll get kicked back to the off-peak 7.4¢ rate if I exceed my cap over a 3-month average.
My Expedition averages 10 MPG pulling my boat, so I’ve saved 110 gallons of gas. That’s at least $300 that’s still in my pocket, and the summer isn’t halfway over. It never gets old beating people off the line at 12,000 lbs GCW…nobody expects a boat to move that fast. The kids in the back seat love it.
EVs aren’t for every use case, but they do a great job for me. It’ll have been 5 years driving electric in November, and I have no desire to go back.
Off topic but I'd like to know what type of grass you have planted that looks like it doesn't need edging. If I let my yard go without edging, the sidewalk and driveway would disappear in quick time. St. Augustine grass down here but I'm willing to kill it all off for maintenance free grass like that lol.

That’s actually my ex-wife’s house, and I’m sure he has no idea. I snapped that one as I picked up my boys on the way to the lake yesterday.

Florida Boy here St Augustine is a bitch to keep. It creeps and needs lots of water Chinch bugs kill it in short order.
We reseeded with Pensacola Bahia. We stopped watering. With our irrigation system, since it uses City water it costs $50 each time we water our 1/2 acre of grass the house. In the winter it browns and first rain in summer it greens right up.
Was have a rural cabin with 3 acres in Fort Drum. Also have Bahia there . Every other year we buy some more Bahia seed and overseed it. It looks great.
"For instance, Tesla's do not have a standard OBD port, making it difficult for independent mechanics to access diagnostic information. This limitation can lead to higher repair costs and dependency on dealership services."
Fact: Tesla cars/trucks have the diagnostic software built into the car.
Go to SERVICE menu:
Enter the password (SERVICE) and all the diagnostic information that Tesla technicians use is on your screen!

Lots of misinformation about EV's on the net!
Tesla technology is far advanced compared to legacy vehicles. 2 days ago I placed my first service visit with my 2023 Tesla Model Y after 18 months of ownership for outside and inside air temp displaying wrong. I was initially set up to bring it in but they utilized over the air diagnostics and determined what had failed. They modified the appt to a mobile appt in my driveway next week.
