@LovingFalloutLondon1954@mastodon.social @noxypaws@packmates.org @celeduc@mastodon.social @NormanDunbar@mastodon.scot the battery may be useful if you have solar panels or if you can take advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs?
My 2015's battery was *almost* down to the level for a warranty replacement. OTOH, the efficiency was at least double what you'd get from a Tesla - I don't blame you looking for another.

@AbramKedge@beige.party @noxypaws@packmates.org @celeduc@mastodon.social @NormanDunbar@mastodon.scot I do have a few solar panels. That is another option to consider. My house has a clay tile roof. More solar panels on the roof would normally not be a problem except that the roofer NAILED the clay tiles down with #6 galvanized common nails. They're rusting through 50 years later and I occasionally find a tile slid down. I'd have to rework the entire roof with screws before I could put panels over them. Too old for this and maybe too poor.
