I was looking at prices of new jeeps and just like every other time I've looked, I decided to keep mine. I'm not sure why the snide remark about Tesla when all cars are expensive, the base option is undesirable and the option you really want ( want that is except for the whole spewing dinosaurs...

That really is very funny.

It was several different small property management companies that listed houses on craigslist. One dismissed me immediately, the other asked the owner and told me there's no interest. If they're the ones who list on craigslist, there's no way to bypass them. I've now understood that it's...

Ironically, finally got a normal - and nice! - reply from a landlord to a message I sent a couple of days ago. "Oh yeah no problem, do you need a 220V? if that doesn't exist I can install it". Minor problem: there are 40 other applicants to this place...that's the current situation in the...

I think you're right - I'm making this harder than it is. I could feel myself doing it. The reason is that I don't understand the nitty gritty myself, and stumbled when trying to explain to potential landlords. That's why this thread is very helpful. I'm still not sure whether I can safely say...

I currently work from home and tend to go out on long drives to go hiking, but I don't have a set schedule. Basically you're saying that as long as there's an outlet, it sort of works. Though someone else mentioned that you should still inspect it to avoid overloading the system, which could...

I'd never do that. Wouldn't know how to even if I wanted.

That's a good point. That's sort of the exact advice I need - how to give the correct 'marketing' pitch. But if they ask why I'm asking ...what do I say then?

Having read over all the answers, and since there is some risk to plugging in if the system is not adequate, it seems that I need to have an electrician visit and look at what needs to be done. If the job would be too big, all I've lost is the cost of the visit. The complicated bit is that I'd...

If I go with the RWD my estimated delivery date is December 2017 to Feb 18. I doubt these many societal changes will occur in this timeframe. :-) But maybe renting a garage with a standard wall outlet as you suggest is the best solution. If I do that, does an electrician need to check...

It's the worst market for renters in living memory. How much would it cost to install it? 'It' being as far as I understand the same outlet a hot tub requires. Remember, I offer to pay.

I'm not sure what this means. I'm looking at an ad. I call up the owner or management company. I offer to pay for any installation required. What exactly do I need to do - offer to have an electrician visit to inspect the system, then depending on the outcome decide if to rent it or not? In...

I prefer a house. One place I looked at has a carport. Other houses or townhouses might have garages.

I'm looking for a place to rent, and I've been hitting brick wall with this. Several new, 'upscale' 'eco' apartments and townhouse communities I've looked at said it can't be done. Moving on to private homes, I'm still unable to convince anyone. I think my pitch is off. The common thread in...

Absolutely. I'm not going to be able to take advantage of the credit since I don't make that much, so I'll be paying full price (from money saved for this purpose).
