I wish man. I sold solar for Vivint before I retired. I had a tech from my company come to my house and do a survey. Unfortunately there is a beautiful old River Birch blocking my southern exposure. My CFO (my wife) will not allow it to be cut down. I’m inclined to agree with her as it’s really beautiful.

I knew I was setting myself up for that. However we are near a river but there is no way to put a hydro mini power plant in it.River = flow = mini hydro

I needed new tiers for the P3D+ - costs me $22 to drive my usual 200 mile round trip for one day.
I can no longer go back to ice cars they are too expensive to run.
FYI - when you replace your tires please only go with oem - I got the Michelin Pilot Sport but not the exact kind and you can tell the difference in the road grip- acceleration and cornering.
Manitoba - I'm paying about 8.527 cents (Canadian) per kWh. That's about 6.4 cents US. In March I drove 1430km and used 563kWh more than the previous 2 years' March readings - so $C48 ($US36). Cold weather city stop-and-go range is not very good. For January, where it's -25C, I drove 1062km used 816kWh more than average of previous two years.($C69.58)
Compare that my BMW 328 would go through 2.5 tanks of gas (60litres each, $1.20/l) and cost $C180 for equivalent 1000km city travel distance.

$30/mo unlimited charging between 7pm -> 2pm weekdays, all day weekends. One Model S + One Model 3.
Oh sure, rub it in for us folks who live more than 300 miles from the nearest supercharger!

On my current ETOU-B plan with PG&E, I'm paying $0.21894 when charging after 9PM. When the switch is made to the EV-A plan, it'll be down to $0.12559(summer)/$0.12866(winter) after 11PM. Jealous of those paying < 5 cents. But, gas is $4.29 around here so I'm still expecting to save more than $3K/year if the early numbers hold up.
I do have solar panels, so since I started driving my M3 this past weekend, I'm still generating more electricity that I'm using. Sure this will change once it gets warm enough where I'm using the AC a lot both in the house and car. Also, I got the solar panels last Fall (when I wasn't expecting to get the M3) and the M3 last December (because I wanted the $7,500 tax credit this year to buy stuff), so I likely don't have enough panels to offset the charging over the course of a year. After a year of driving and charging the M3, I'll see about adding more panels and maybe 2-3 Powerwalls.

Just locked myself into a deal paying 9.8 cents per kwh fixed no surging. I'm happy enough with that. Houston Tx.
