Can't pull a camper or boat so no good for me......
Lots of people have specific needs. Lots of people aren't pulling trailers or boats...

That’s what we have and love itJoe, we have T-Mobile, with the Magenta 55 plus plan. Unlimited 5g talk, text, and data for both phones, plus they pay for our Netflix charges.
Glad it worked outHey Tom - - - Many thanks again for the lead on Hiawatha Hobbies. They're Tony the Tiger Greeeeat!
Ordered three Walthers TOs yesterday at 1700. Today at 1300 I got the email that they are shipped! And with 'sconsin so close; I should have them tomorrow! ! !
We had a 10ft aluminum jon boat we gave away last year. We no longer used it so I wanted to give it away to someone who fishes. The first person I tried to give it too never came to pick it up. So after that anyone that came here to see my layout I would always ask them do you fish? We were also giving away a commercial freezer we no longer used. When he showed up for the freezer finally someone who fished. James if you came to see my layout last year the boat would have been yours.Can't pull a camper or boat so no good for me......
You could try flying to Myrtle Beach?I just seen an ad for Chevy's new electric powered truck. It has a 400 mile range before needing a charge. So what happens when I go on my golf vacation to myrtle beach which is 721 miles away? I notice they didn't mention the price in the ad. I paid $26.000.00 for my Nissan Fronter in 2016 which has just about everything. I bet it's more than double the price?

Ken, there are lots of ways around the grid if you go solar at home.It's 89 degrees somewhere with a chance of rain somewhere else. Ya'all can guess where I'm referring to.
EVs are coming. At some point it will become obvious that EVs are where the government wants us to go. By that time the price and demand will be much higher than they are now, and your internal combustion vehicle will have no trade in value because there will be no fuel. Ohhhh, I'll install solar panels then. Yeah, and wait for 6 months to a year because of the demand because ya waited too long? In the meantime, home heating costs have gone through the roof too.
(In my dumb skeptic voice) Welllll, how is the grid going to support charger stations for all those EVs? I don't know, but when ya can't find a gas station that doesn't have a 1/2-mile line for very expensive fuel, what are ya going to do? vote for someone else?
I guess I could post a dozen or so pictures of where I'll mount my wall charger that nobody really cares about, but I won't.
On the same note, what happens when you run out of "gas" with your electric car?I have friends and acquaintances with Teslas who have driven them cross country. They've drunk the Kool-Aid so will tell you that it works and is no problem. (including into and through the Rockies)
With proper planning you probably can do it. Make sure you know where the charging stations are, and plan where you want to "fill up". Make it coincide with your bathroom/snack/lunch stops. Even though it takes 5 minutes to fill a gas tank, most of us on longer trips make longer stops to stretch, eat, pee, etc.
Personally I am not convinced yet that BEV are ready for prime time as a main / only vehicle and not just a vehicle for your local area use.
To many things to bring. Then I would have to rent a car. Flying does cost less than gas and tolls. I love the way everyone there drives their golfcarts all around town. If my wife would only say OK lets go I've be gone. I said, this in another post my best friend's son who had around 12 years as a conductor on the railroad gave up his job and moved to SC with his wife and 3 kids.You could try flying to Myrtle Beach?
Probably cost less than the gas
(sorry couldn't resist)
Really? I have one on order, due in June 2024. Am all I going to get is software that dissipates?is vapor ware.
One Tesla owner said it would cost him $26,000 for a new one. I think they last 5 or 6 years.

A man after my own heart....spending time in the train room is a goal of mine for the weekend!In the train room the last few days and enjoying it and no news being broadcast in there
the screen shows the charging stations within range.
