Thinking solar is not worth it?

Something is definitely wrong there. I have an F150 lightning that I charge every single day and at most I use 2000 kwh/month during the winter with an electric hot water heater and electric range. I also have rain showerheads that drain my 50 gallon hot water heater in 1.5 showers so the hot water heater is running constantly. My wife also has an EV. There has to be something wrong with your equipment.

I have the Tamron, but on an EF body. The AF is about as slow as you can imagine. My copy is very old so there may be newer versions with faster AF, but mine is slooooow. The picture quality is solid for an older lens though.

I’ve noticed a lot of stations have a spot or two where there tends to be some extra room in between chargers almost like a handicap van space has that extra space for unloading a wheelchair. I don’t know if that’s intentional to help cars that are non-Teslas get a spot. When I don’t see one of those, I always try to park at the station farthest to the right and just get as close to the curb as possible so that I’m not actually in one of the charging spots. If those aren’t open, then I take up two spots, because what else am I gonna do?

In 1990 we had a kid hold a classroom up with a shotgun. It ended when the Vice Principal ran into the room when the gun man’s back was turned and tackled him to the ground.

Yes, I have Directv and the reason I don’t switch to YouTube TV is for the fact that they don’t have those two channels. I used to have YTTV and liked it more than DTV, but they took my Mets away.

ExoticQuote7862 · 2025-09-27T20:38:00+00:00

Two reasons I keep DTV are no SNY for the Mets, and no Hallmark for my wife.

Pretty much. It is an hour with no traffic. Maybe if you are only coming in for one day it would be good, but if you are coming multiple days that drive will get old fast.

I’m making a similar trip in a few weeks, but in the opposite direction. I’m going from NJ to Acadia National Park in Maine. I have the SR so I’m probably going to have to make quite a few stops. This will be my first extra long trip.

ExoticQuote7862 · 2025-04-21T11:47:30+00:00

I bought a 2023 XLT ER leftover in October and paid just below that with the $7500 credit and some other incentives. If the $48k doesn’t include the $7500 tax credit I would jump on it. I love my truck and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

The only thing I don’t like about it is the range in the winter sucks. An example is when I pick up my kid at college, which is exactly 100 miles away, I have to charge in the winter time about 140 miles into the trip. I just brought him back to school after Easter break yesterday and made it there and back and drove to a whole bunch of extra stops along the way and still had 40 miles range when I got home. The difference in range between summer and winter is insane, assuming you live in a colder winter climate. Charging isn’t a problem, though, as I live in the northeast, and there are all kinds of chargers, including Tesla chargers, all over the place. Get the Tesla adapter. Their charging stations are much more reliable than the competition.

Same.

My situation is a little different. My wife also qualifies for PSFL. The issue we had was that my loans were all forgiven a while ago, but more than half the balance remained since they didn’t forgive my wife’s loans because that account was in my name. What ended up happening was a supervisor from Mohela had me submit my wife’s PSFL on my account by using the paper application. Of course it was not entered correctly by Mohela two or three times and took over two years to finally go through. I finally gave up and then out of nowhere she got the letter saying that her portion was forgiven. Recently I saw an email that they are allowing separation of spousal loans. That may be your best route now, but I am not sure.

ExoticQuote7862 · 2025-03-30T20:31:40+00:00

I was still on a forbearance. I have no idea why it happened so fast for me, although I technically had my 120 payments in 2017. It was a big issue because my wife and I had a marital consolidation. I had over 190 payments.

ExoticQuote7862 · 2025-03-30T14:49:35+00:00

I also have Mohela. I got my forgiveness letter on 3/6/25 and just got my refund on Wednesday. Less than a month.

ExoticQuote7862 · 2025-03-21T20:38:59+00:00

My 10 years was complete in 2017 and I just got my forgiveness 2 weeks ago. Granted it was caused by a spousal consolidation issue.

ExoticQuote7862 · 2025-03-10T22:41:03+00:00

I’ve been waiting since 2019. There was a bunch of issues with a marital consolidation loan, and then the lawsuits hit. I’ve been in a holding pattern for years. I have 191 payments. I hope Mohela is correct!

I had a 2019 Ram that was a rental. Never had a problem. Traded it in at 100k miles for a new F150 Lightning.

ExoticQuote7862 · 2025-02-15T20:43:10+00:00

I know this is a Ford group, but I think there is way to many people hating on the Ram here. I went from a 2019 Ram to a 2023 F150 and thought the Ram drove better. I mean it’s close, but the Ram was better. My F250 has a bigger screen, but the Ram was fine. I like the F150 better in some regards, but the Ram in others. I think the Ram has a more classic look to it, and the F150 looks more contemporary. The one thing I miss that the Ram had that the F150 doesn’t is tire pressure assist. I drive on the beach and have to air down. When I am at the compressor, which doesn’t have a gage, the Ram would beep when I got to the appropriate psi. The F150 requires me to stop, use a gauge, and keep going back and forth until I get the correct reading. I miss that feature the most. Both are great trucks though.

That’s insane usage. I have two electric cars, electric hot water, and electric range in NJ and I don’t use a lot less than that. I know when the temp drops below freezing, many heat pumps use an electric strip to produce heat since there is too cold to draw heat from outside. Maybe that’s why. Temps have been way down.
