Yeah, you should probably sell and get a gas car. EVs are not for you if 88% of your charging is Level 3.

So do the math on the cost of gas car you would replace it with(including maintenance, and the depreciation of that vehicle) over time, and see where the breakeven point is, if the breakeven point is close enough that your still being hit with deprecation of the CT vs the cost of fuel and maintenance of an ICE truck. Then sell it and buy it. Id be willing to bet the break even point is after the deprecation loss of the CT, but I could be wrong.
Also how are you charging the Lucid Air? It has to be getting better efficiency than the CT, you should be driving it more, unless the CT is just that much better to drive.

That's not true, even finding the most expensive supercharger rates I could find in NY, Its still cheaper than gas. Also If your only choice is supercharging, then you probably weren't ready for an electric car yet. Even then, it's still cheaper.

Can't put a price on that as your kids get older, and still are ok hanging out with ol' Pops!
