    It's the best time ever to buy a used Tesla

    Do those used prices come with new batteries? Major expense if they don't.

    Truck EV charging

    There a lot of truckers that run teams. Two drivers per truck taking turns driving. That keeps the truck on the road making money and meeting deadlines. Not sure when those drivers will have time to recharge the batteries. Of course our great government will just outlaw teams to meet the agenda.

    I can't believe it's not possible for us to boondock!

    I have a residential fridge also. I set some ice in there to keep it from running so often. That seems to help me make it thru the night.

    Retired in New Hampshire

    Several years ago my in laws had an A Liner and they really liked it. We started looking at them last year before we purchased our 13' travel trailer.

    Stowing the "loose" stuff for road time

    Most everything goes in different sized totes. Toaster and things like that get bigger totes.. Smaller things get stored in little totes also. Coffee maker we just lay in the sink when in motion.

    Overniting at Cracker Barrel question

    I can skip tv for a night if not enough power. I have put a bag of ice in the fridge to extend battery life. If the fridge temp is good it will not turn on, hence saving battery. Overnight this works well as you don't tend to open the fridge a lot.
