Ah, you two are in cahoots!

So, nothing but level ground, short trips, and charging every night? Go for it.

Heck, stick a solar panal on your hood too. Worked for me. Will probably work 50x for you.

Joking aside, I've been to Florida aplenty. Too much even. So much that I've stopped collecting those free little lizards that you guys include on the wall of every room.
You need to start collecting the bigger ones we give away...

You mean the constricting ones? Live, no thanks.

But if you guys started selling them, fully prepared or cooked, I'd gladly purchase a pile; those guys are tasty.

The iguanas? I'll have to find a recipe.

Those jerks. To be fair, those guys most probably have multiple Excel spreadsheets on how to wring maximum benefit out of their Tesla.

Again, I don't have a 4xe. Just a plain 2.0 turbo e-torque, with a slightly greater chance of lithium-ion explosion than your jeep. I still think your jeep is cool.

Sounds like your commute is in the sweet spot for the 4xe, and your fun-zones are within reach, if you use the proper driving modes. I'll leave the answers for more informed members here, but will follow.

Please update the forum when you find out what works for you!
Yeah, but think of the aneurysm they'll have when they can't charge because a Jeep beat them to the charger. That makes it all worth it right there.

I was talking about the gators.

New business model @JeepCares , free Level 2 solar charging stations, but on a small berm, with a ten inch curb around it.

Those guys are delicious! I'll take as many as you've got, frozen, gutted, and packed.

Heck, gutted and packed.

Just gutted?

Are they dead?

Look, are they unconscious or dizzy or something? I got some hungry folks over here. (Just me)

Seriously though, tail meat pan-fried in cornmeal is fantastic. You can even eat the paws/claws if you're willing to slow cook them long enough. Tastes of licorice. (Weirdly)

Make it two small berms in opposite corners and call it a FlexCharger™.
PM me for where to send my check.

No, we just slap a collar and leash on them, what you do with them after that is on you.

You win this round, until I figure out how to turn "off-peak charging" into a mountaintop pun.

I've noticed many of the Tesla's don't seem to bother with public charging stations for the most part, unless the owner lives at a nearby apartment building.

One of the fun things about public charging a wrangler are the baffled/confused looks when people see it plugged in.
