I have two EVs they are the best vehicles I own. I also have a Expedition, a F250 and a S60 Volvo ,plus two sport bikes and a Polaris SXB in the stable.

What do I drive most my Model 3 LR, the wife takes the Y now most places, why three letters FSD. There is no tech better than Tesla’s for automated and semiautomated driving. I go hands off from my driveway to the exit in Shreveport all the time now to the casinos there. My model 3 charges off the panels above or so does the Y. I can flip a breaker and tell ERCOT and the grid to shove it. During the black out when all the service stations were stone cold dark w/o a single gallon of fuel dispensed I let two of my friends come and charge off my panels four EVs fully charged in the middle of a blackout so it’s a myth of the grid goes down EVs are toast. My cars and friends were the only ones filled up during that time exactly opposite what the luddites skree about. I also had heat and a party with BBQ and beer kegs we made a good time of it. Why because at the time my 15,000 watt system made power every time the sun rose even under clouds of makes some power I have never seen it at zero while there was at least partial sun.

No one has a oil well, fractional refinery in their back forty let alone back yard. But I do have panels that fuel my EV every day on site ,and you cannot turn off the sun it is that simple. I will always have a 400 mile one way range regardless what happens to the grid, the oil industry or gas stations that also means a 200 mile.radius of.movement not dependant on any one or any system other than the sun being up. That’s priceless to a prepper. Plus well water and goats for emergency food production...sorry frick and frack your kids are food not pets.
