Here is an account of a recent trip from central Texas to Pike's Peak
using SuperChargers and one destination charge station.

Addressed to me? I have free lifetime SuperCharging on both my current
Teslas. I briefly had a Model 3 which did not have free SuperCharging.
Average cost was around $5 for around 100 mil

My local electric coop (SLEMCO) has quit taking any more customers who have
solar panels and want to have a net meter. We are grandfathered in for 10
years, and then our net meter goes away. SLEMCO did not say what happens to
those who were grandfathered for 10 years. We don’t worry about that

Turns out the DC/DC converter in the VOlt is over 200 amps at
12 volts so it can support almost 2 kW. Compared to the typ

I doubt you'll be able to buy the recalled bolt batteries. Too much
liability to the sellers if one of them causes a fire.

Sure beats the 100 year payback offered by savings banks at 1% interest.
I never liked the "payback" term for solar. I say it is from day one when
one stopped consuming fossil fueled utility power.

(includes much higher peak rates)
