Ah okay. Thought you were saying it was in Spanish

i read the Spanish side first (kinda surprised I understood it) but I got it and kinda hoping for more blue ish ones. Little mans tail and wings are purple, tail is literally dark purple it’s crazy

but then I saw Teslas for like 2018-20 were only like 40-45k so I'm leaning more towards maybe a tesla.

Crazy question but do you have somewhere to charge it? You'll need at least a level 2 charger on a 40A breaker unless you only drive it a few miles a day. 2-4 miles of range per hour of charge on a standard 110V outlet. And ... do you really want a rear wheel drive car in MI? RWD is NOT great in snow.

In any case, congrats on the new car whatever it is.

You can charge it from your direct power source like your house. Idk much about how they do in snow but it’s supposedly good, my older brother in NY had one and it was fine…. But it’s different in MI

Regular 110V outlet on the side of your house will charge a Tesla the 2 to 4 miles of range per hour of charge as I posted above. It is not a decent or expected to be a regular method of charging an all electric vehicle of any make/model. I don't know why Tesla says 2-4, I guess it depends if you have a 3, and S, an X, etc. From dead empty a Model 3 with the smaller battery would take almost 3 days to fully charge and get you something about 270 miles (per Tesla) ... in the summer. Our Leaf range drops 30% in sub zero weather, all EVs will be similar. Batteries don't like really cold weather and Riss lives in a cold winter climate.

Really, mine charges from about 65 miles al l the way to 249 mi over night (well from about 10-6 pm)

oh yeaaaa but it’s not cold 12 months out of the year right?

Is that a 110V, 2 prong plus ground, outlet? Same thing you have inside the house? I'm guessing not because you can't pull enough amps off that to charge at the rate you claim.

If you did, and the charger didn't limit it, you'ld have quite an electrical fire on your hands. EVs with a cord that plugs into other than a Level 2 or higher charging station usually have a "brick" in the cord which limits the amps the charger in the car will get even if the charger can handle WAY more than you can safely pull from a regular 110V outlet. The Leah has a cord that can be plugged into a regular 110V or a 240V like some people have for a dryer in the garage.

And did you mean 10 PM to 6 AM or is your night different than mine?

The Leaf will charge about 30 kWh overnight, starting at 9 PM when the cheap rate begins. This is on a Level 2 charger. This time of year it ends about 4 or 5 AM. DW drives it 70 miles 6 days a week. The Leaf has a 6.6 kW charger, my Prime only 3.3. Teslas probably have a more powerful charger but they are still limited by the power source.

Actually the Leaf also has a fast charge, high Amp, port but not many people would have a charging station capable of using it at their home.

Nope, just pointing out that the range in cold weather isn't what it is in warmer weather. My Prius Prime is EPA rated at 25 miles on electric only. In the summer, not on the interstate, I can get close to 40 miles. In the winter it is more like 15-18. I don't calculate how many kWhours I put in but I've driven it 25K miles with a combined gas/electric MPG of 133.

Yea I meant 10pm- 6am there’s like a white box on the side of the house that the Tesla servicers installed for us.. so I guess we have a “leaf” or whatever it’s called
