Good to know, thanks!

This is very good info. I appreciate that.

I guess I’ll have to leave my cave more often, or reduce the charging it can get. Ungh. I’ll do the math on the minimum errands and visits I need to run before I’ll ever do math on electricity.

I have both 110 and 220 in my garage, so maybe I can find a configuration that works to supply minimum power without a fancy charge limiting thing (yes I do watch technology connections, and yes I probably will need such nonsense)

Well below freezing, best I can tell. That was the only time I’ve ever seen anything like that. But it was way back when I was living in a shitty apartment (14 years ago) with whatever shitty appliances they had. Really hard to say.

That's a super fair point. I’m definitely treating total range as one way. Most of the time I’ll use it, that’s perfectly fine to do, but I’m sure I’ll run into it eventually.

I loathe driving tbh, and would strongly prefer public transit, but that would be 3x as long as driving (roughly 11 hours to do a 2.5 hour-by-car trip) So when I have to drive more than an hour in a day, I try to find a way to not do that. I have friends at my destinations who would be happy for me to charge with them, if it means I visit more often and stay over :)

Unfortunately none in my (exceptionally low) price range, within 200 miles of my state. At least not newer than 2016. Leafs are pretty common, tho this is by far the newest in my price range.. some bmw cube van thing is represented a lot..

This is privileged tantrum-having.

My tantrums were never property destructive. I grew up poor and I would have been murdered for that. I rage plenty, but never outwardly toward objects.

My tantrums, instead, were and have continued to be personally destructive. I make people hate me, I ruin all the things that matter.

That’s great advice. It’s currently 5 f’d degrees, so quite cold. And I know all the extra stuff also drains so heat is right in there.

Do you know if there’s anywhere to “learn to drive efficiently in electric”? Because I assume the handle is different than ICE..? But maybe it’s just the same because energy is energy.

I bit bread like this once and I can still vividly taste it.

I’ve accidentally eaten various kinds of mold several dozen times in my life, and in some cases I could barely tell. Slightly dirt flavor. That’s the dangerous mold.

I was also in my 30s when I found out some people don’t know what mildew smells like. They know the sour smell in clothes, but don’t realize it’s mildew. My partner was one such person, and they -still- don’t care but that smell drives me bonkers.

Unrelated because I didn’t eat them, but it reminded me of the time I made cookies (specifically Russian tea cookies, aka snowballs) and put them directly in the freezer without letting them dry out, and it was humid enough in the container that months later when I went to eat one, they had tiny adorable mushrooms on them.

No idea, I’m going to see it Saturday tho and I’ll totally make sure to ask. I’m kinda thinking it probably does for how cheap it is.

But I don’t really plan to use public chargers much, so hopefully not much of an issue.

Thanks for that info :) fortunately I don’t expect to need to charge on the road much, just at home, and it can take days between most of the time and I won’t know.

That’s why I wanted the 150mile range. The furthest thing I need to go to is just over 120 miles so it -should- be fine, I would think. Anything else I’ll just rent something.

But I’ll get an adapter all the same, if needed. The listing doesn’t say what kind, but I’m going to look at it Saturday, so I’ll keep that in mind :)

Does it have a way to keep the charge in that range if, for example, it sits on a charger most of the time because I don’t use it?

I’m sorry if it came off that way; I didn’t think anything of it, my reply was more just “I haven’t experienced that but I believe you so genuinely thanks for the added info” :)

I genuinely appreciate when people share information with me, especially if it’s from a perspective I don’t have, so I appreciate the time you took, not once but twice, to pass on information, not just to me but to anyone else who might read it.

However, in my area a no soliciting sign covers basically everything except politics and census. Anyone who knocks on or leaves garbage at a door with a no-soliciting sign can and should be reported, and if they keep getting reported, they get fined, lose their permit, or can be sued for trespassing. It doesn’t matter if they are selling junk or selling religion, it’s still a solicitor according to local law, and is therefore not allowed. One of the few things we do right here.

This definition isn’t from my specific local laws, as I can’t easily find those online, but is reasonably close so I’m linking it anyway, and these increased regulations are all over the place, not just my state/area. I know these regulations because I did canvassing and figured I should brush up on it since the people in charge were not from the area and were giving bad advice.

The code defines solicitor as any person who distributes literature, who is obtaining information or opinions, who is seeking to obtain contributions of money, services, property, or financial assistance of any kind, or who is attempting to promote any cause or conviction. … Both Solicitors and Transient Merchants are restricted to a time period of 9:00 am-9:00 pm and cannot call upon a dwelling with a posted No Soliciting sign.
