Replacing my 2000 For Excursion. I will likely sell it instead of trade-in. I will miss the extra seats dearly, but the power, capability and gas savings will make up for it.

Not if the back window rolls down and we can get air circulation to it. I plan to do the same. Letting my dog ride in the vault, if possible.

Or a QR Code like this...

That is a good point. If we had a pull-through every 50 miles 1 would probably be enough. In my specific situation, I am often towing a cargo trailer and traveling with someone else towing an RV trailer, so I would nearly always need 2 pull-through stalls to avoid unhooking.

One pull through for trailers is likely enough in most areas, but it would be smart to always have at least 2 for future proofing. I will be towing with my CT 2-4 days every month.

I will be towing a lot, so I will get the longest range option. If I can get the same extended range with 2 motors as 3 or 4 then I'll get the cheaper 2 motor with bigger battery. If I have to spring $120k and wait an extra year to get 650 miles of range, then I'll do that. I don't mind the...

For might not like it, but Tesla will. We actually want other EVs to succeed. There is enough demand for all, and there will be for a while yet.

If you don't want another card in your wallet, you can wear it instead. What other intersting accessories have you seen for your Tesal? https://s3xymodels.com/products/smart-ring-key-fob-tesla-model-3-y

Getting a Model Y and keeping my Excursion for towing until the CT is here.

I am going to Necro my own thread here since I will likely be getting a Model Y early next year. I found some pedestals that could work with slight modifications. $215 https://www.zoro.com/pedestal-pro-dual-head-pedestal-42h-powder-coat-42-tt/i/G6334408/ $200...

Yeah, real numbers tend to be MUCH better than my estimates since I have to use averages and stay very conservative.

My wife approves of my purchase, does that count? I have no doubt that she will actually drive it more than me once we get it.

A note about charging: it is typically half or a quarter the cost of gas. In Colorado specifically, comparing to a 30MPG car: Average Gas cost is $3.15/gal, you could drive about 850miles for $100. Electricity is $0.13/Kwh the CT-Tri will use about will drive about 465WH per mile and will drive...

Vinyl wraps are pretty tough, but like Crissa said, they really are cheap. We can just buy a new one.

Vinyl Plates is what I am planning to use. https://licenseplatewrap.com/

I did already understand that, but I still appreciate the distinction being pointed out. I likely won't do this for about 6 months to a year since I won't get my truck for 1.5-2 years so the wall connector generation should not be an issue. My house was built in the 70s and sits kind of sideways...

I'm just talking about something to mount the wall connector to. It is only a square steel box or pole I can secure to the ground. I forgot about the Tesla pedestal. That may be my best option. I would really like something I can mount two chargers on since I will eventually have the CT and a...

I am looking at getting an EV charger installed before the truck shows up. My house setup is odd so I need to run about 150' of cable and mount the charger to a pedestal installed at the corner of my front garden bed by the driveway. Has anyone looked at pedestals? Any recommendations? It seems...

Sending the truck to pick up or drop off kids from school or sports practice.

Selling my 2001 6.8L V10 Excursion. I drag around a heavy trailer and a bunch of kids with it. I will miss my extra 2 seats, but the cost savings will be worth it. My excursion costs about $0.33 to $0.40 per mile to run, the CT will only cost $0.05 to $0.09 per mile.
