California also incentivizes HOV access for EVs, which helps tremendously with the traffic.
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

Also, CC2 road noise was noticeable early on, It either went away, or I'm used to it.
We'll see if I regret putting our minivan into the Continental True Contact Tours. First impressions this summer is they are VERY VERY quite and I saw no drop in MPG from the OEM's, maybe a slight beat actually.
For solar, it all depends upon who your Electric provider is. For my stuff around the farm solar doesn’t pay for itself if you have alliance it will.
TCT 54s? Those will be just a normal all season tire, and will most likely struggle with any moderate snow.
Yes, A LOT cheaper and mrs cyfan can WFH in major snow, so I went $60/tire cheaper and it does our highway miles, so quiet ride is more important.
Yeah and with a 2nd vehicle already having the CCs for you then should be fine. Will probably be going with the Toyo Celsius tires or the Continental SecureContact AWs for the wifes SUV this winter. The current stock bridgestones did all right last winter.

That would be cool but my 2024 tundra hybrid isn't in there.Saw this tool on reddit, which is pretty cool

A lot of it depends where your fuse box is located. In our previous house, it was in the basement, in our new house it's in the garage. The old house was $2,500 to install a sub panel in the garage, which ran to the basement box. I had them do a sub panel that was capable of charging two units. You're welcome guy that bought our house.
I actually had Copilot run the comparison for me a few weeks ago using yearly registration, vehicle depreciation, maintainence and fuel costs vs home charging to figure out at what yearly milage it would make sense to trade the Tundra in on a Rivian R1T. It was actually a lot higher milage that I expected.
Did you factor in vehicle depreciation compared to buying a similar new ICE vehicle?
I was trying to decide if it made sense to trade in my 2024 tundra on a 2024 R1T using one I found for sale through Rivians pre owned program. I was looking a possibly making a change that would significantly impact my commute time/distance and wanted to figure out if it made sense to get an R1T from a cost per mile driven or what the price of gas needed to be to make sense for 12k miles a year. The breakeven point in that scenario was something like 16-18k miles a year which was considerably higher than I expected. Right now I have an 8 mile round trip daily commute so it would take like $8 or $9 gas to make sense for me right now.
I think that math changes a lot when I decide I'm getting a new vehicle anyway but I'm not planning on that for another 5 or 6 years. I'm hoping there will be more BEV options for a truck than the Rivian when that time comes. The Scout looks really good I think on paper and with what I know to be coming to market in the next couple years it's at the top of my list.

I find this interesting. It appears a Rivian-certified shop tech was fired for talking about working on Rivians on reddit.
