    I won't be "Jonesing" for this because of what I captured from Tesla.com:

    Used 2024 Model 3 are listed as low as $27,000 which has HW 4.0 and LiFePO battery.

    My 2019 weight, EPA reported, is 3,800 lbs but I've already replaced the rims and tires with lighter, lower resistance tires. The 41 lbs weight reduction after 6 years, GIVE ME A BREAK!

    My 2019 peak rate is 178 kW but I'm already finding 10-20 minute charge sessions perfectly fine. First stop for a bathroom and snack sack. Then drive to near-by SuperCharger and back on the road again,. Will need to see the charge curve but right now, this does not "crank my tractor."

    One good piece of news is the speed for calculating the charge rate:

    My Prius days taught that 63 mph gives EPA equivalent efficiency. Citing 65 mph is an honest benchmark speed, not the BS "70 mph" used by others.

    If I drove 65 most places I'd be trampled by the folks who think 70 was a suggestion.

    Moving van trucks and some trucking companies pretty well run at 65 mph. I use them as cover so following traffic passes us both.
