  4. Lightning Charging a Tesla

    Mike, I feel for your loss and I wish you solace and a that your wife rests in peace. I lost my wife to cancer in 2014, and your story brought me tears. I too plan for lots of boondocking next year and beyond in my Lightning as part of my ongoing recovery journey and I wish that we both find...
  5. It cost me 18.47 times as much to fuel my old truck. This is AMAZING... :o

    I choose my electricity supplier here in PA* and have been using various 100% renewable ā€œplansā€ ever they were available, like more than a decade. Sometimes I pay more, sometimes I pay less** than the ā€œdefault supplierā€. Not wanting to be nosy, just curious, I checked the internet, and wonder...
  6. It cost me 18.47 times as much to fuel my old truck. This is AMAZING... :o

    I vote a resounding YES for 3 reasons: 1. The Drive is ridiculously FUN, responsive, quiet, quick and enjoyable compared to any ICE. Can you say 1-pedal drive (I know some may hate it, not me)? 2. Efficiency = EVā€˜s are like 90 efficient delivering ā€fuelā€ to motion - ICE? Lucky to get 20% of...

  10. Planning a 100% fossil fuel-free overland camper adventure in my Lightning

    Wow, that awning looks quite impressive and looks good. In its stock design with vertical frame legs, it does not look compatible with our pickup truck format; but I’m sure you could rig it in a way that would work. I'm considering using 300W of flexible 100W CIGS panels on my roof, such as...
