    There’s no reason it shouldn’t be done..

    As long as the Cayenne doesn’t cost too much to maintain I’ll be patient and see what happens. I have a feeling I’ll have a couple of years before my number is called and by then, maybe things improve?

    I wondered how that works/worked! You can simply say, "pass for now"?

    One other thought popped into my head. The Cayenne has really spoiled me in that when I drop Taj-Ma-Haul off at camp, I have a normal sized vehicle to run errands with. That's a convenience that can't be overlooked and why I only mentioned the Tundra as a truck as it would still be a stretch...

    I haven't yet, I'm not confident the big three can produce a reliable product. I'd have to wait and see. I *think* if it isn't a Tesla, then it's an ICE vehicle at this point. Something well proven that I could potentially convert to electric, but every time I think of this option I just feel...

    I'm sourcing from Big Battery, it's the Rhino and I get it from them for $4,600 each? If I remember off of the top of my head. They are 14kWh and weigh 290lbs each. I think my budget was 2,400lbs for the batteries in total. The impact to towing is a sunken cost, they aren't optional - but I do...

    Right, I fixed the Solar Array designations to kWatts, sorry about that. I average around 18-28kWatts a day during the summer months and around 6-15kWatts a day during the winter. So right now with my current 28.8kWhrs of storage, pretty comfortable with a couple of days. When I add the 6...

    I used kWatt/hrs, the correct term is kWh? Where specifically did I mess up so I can correct it, thanks. OK, rather than add another correction response, adding a note here: I think I updated all of the errant designations - thanks @cgladue

    Updated my original post to show the crossed out 420 and the correct 470 miles - thanks. I already have an ice vehicle, but like my original post, I'm moving towards a 100% electric footprint. That means I'll have to deal with some growing pains along the way. Consider this, I already have to...

    that is my worry, if I do the upgraded battery, then 200ish miles... As crazy as this sounds... I've considered getting my commercial license and somehow reserving the Semi??? I'm not sure if I could even reserve one, I don't see a way yet... but the cost of the CT + batt upgrade may be within a...

    Even rated at 11k/lbs towing and weighing 7k/lbs, should be more than capable. If I end up needing more, I sure would like to see Tesla release that truck they showed that’s between the CT and the Semi!

    The Cayenne is surprisingly capable, I set the cruise and it just goes, even up the 6k foot climb from PHX to Flagstaff. Your hauler sounds awesome, I think I’ll have room for a side by side, not absolutely sure yet. My current 28.8kWatt/hrs is good enough for a minimum of 4 days of no sun, or...

    When I made my reservation for the Tri-Motor Full Self-Driving, it was late in the game, January 25, 2021... I wasn't a fan of the design, but I was a fan of these main things: Tesla Infrastructure & ideology Energy Independence 500 miles range (250ish towing) $69k price at the time 17k Towing...
