Cerro Bola mountain, in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico in the back ground. The prominent white inscription on the side of the mountain reads, "CD. Juarez. La Biblia es la Verdad. Leela," which translates to "City of Juarez. The Bible is the Truth, Read It."

Skiing while destination charging at Sugarloaf, Maine. Usually we're on the other side where the trailer behind me is, but the U-16 nationals were taking place and they needed extra ski prep trailers.

And at Sunday River, Maine; again, destination charging while skiing! For some reason both places allow EV owners to charge for free during the day, probably because people staying at the hotel check out by 11a, and check in is at 3p, so during the ski day, the chargers are available, or should I say, the one charger.

I like that it doesn't look stupid in the mountains like my F-150 always did. I like even more the way it drives in the mountains.

Oh man. That white looks good in the mountains. How hard is it to keep clean?
White is, by far, the easiest color to keep looking clean. This is because most dirt and dust is actually light in color in the small amounts that stick to your car, and even if it's dark colored, it's so thin that the bright light that is reflected from the white color underneath blasts right through it so it is hard to see.

Black is, by far, the most difficult colored vehicle to keep looking clean for the opposite reasons as stated above. Black abosrbs all light and doesn't reflect it, so you can see anything and everything stuck to it.

This is why the overwhelming majority of corporate fleet vehicles are white, and in particular, any contractor vehicles that rouinely encounter dirt roads, etc. Because they keep looking clean the easiest and longest, even if they physically have dirt on them. You just can't see it unless you look really, really closely, and therefor you don't have to wash them as often.

Most of the new vehicles I've purchased over many years have been white. I like the way white hides the dirt and is less likely to be invisible to other drivers who are not paying very good attention.

I even bought two white Model 3's in 2018 when it was a $2000 upcharge over the least expensive color. Last I looked, white was the default color.

That said, the silver color of the Cybertruck is right in there in terms of not showing off the dirt.
