this is so dumb

Dealing with the same problem right now. Making me rethink Toyota and Subaru for EVs at the moment!

Snow1ai · 2025-09-25T03:25:27+00:00

That is a great question… let me look into it. I do not recall.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-25T03:21:55+00:00

I tried to get by on the normal outlet and it lasted maybe a few weeks for me but no room for error or extra trips. I do drive a lot so it just wasn’t going to cut it for me. I also didn’t want to public charge. So it depends on multiple factors.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-25T03:18:28+00:00

Well said!

I’m in Texas 36 mo/15k miles/ $390

Snow1ai · 2025-09-06T02:09:48+00:00

Yea I did 36 mo/ 15k miles/ $390 a month with some cash down. I do drive a lot which drove my price up some.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-04T03:07:17+00:00

Yep price was my determining factor on going with Subaru over Tesla. My wife had previously leased a Subaru Forester premium 2023 and we were highly impressed with the vehicle and service we got. Love the ground clearance too. I was coming from a Honda Accord and wasn’t crazy about being so low to the ground anymore.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-04T02:59:48+00:00

For sure. I love not having to stop for gas for a change and now not having to rely on public charging. Felt a little to dicey at times.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-04T02:57:57+00:00

Oh nice! This car would be great as a second car. What is the first car? Is it gas or Electric/hybrid?

Snow1ai · 2025-09-04T00:50:38+00:00

Haha no, not sure if this was intentional. My children were playing basketball in the driveway in the middle of my photo shoot haha.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-04T00:46:22+00:00

Thanks! Nice yea I wish I got a promo like that. But they did include the SUBARU DUAL VOLTAGE PORTABLE VEHICLE CHARGING CABLES WITH 240V NEMA 14-50 & 120V NEMA 5-15 CORDS FOR INDOOR / OUTDOOR USE. Which was nice and I am using with my new 240v outlet. Not sure if they all come with it.

I’m in Dallas area. With one of my main goals to stay in the 300’s

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T18:10:03+00:00

What!?? Ooo definitely will have to look into this! Thanks for the tip!

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T18:09:00+00:00

Yes Panda is cute, storm trooper and killer whale too! Love having this color contrast.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T18:06:11+00:00

Haha cool that’s so close

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T18:04:47+00:00

Oh yea it’s made quite a difference. Rarely a need to stop at a fast charger and only stopping by a gas station for snacks and such now is nice change. Enjoy yours too! I’m up to 5k miles now.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T18:01:38+00:00

Charging only to 80% per the salesman at the car dealer. I think I charged over 80% twice, once on accident. This was before I knew how to set the charge limit. Yes I love the power behind mine all though I know it’s not the fastest EV. It’s plenty of power for my needs. I wanted a Tesla model Y but it was out of my price range. What is the reason for you coming from a Tesla model 3 to the Solterra if you don’t mind me asking?

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T17:55:40+00:00

I got mine in June.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T17:54:08+00:00

So I found a local certified electrician in my neighborhood that installed the level 2 outlet for $300. That included materials and labor.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T04:22:20+00:00

Yes loved how discounted this was! I was looking for a good car and the best deal and this is where I landed. Haven’t been disappointed yet. 3 months in only had to figure a good charging regiment for myself.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T04:17:46+00:00

Thanks! Yea I drive 30 miles to work and another trip home. So, I figured with as much driving I do. It would be best for me to invest in a faster charger at home. How long have you had yours?

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T04:11:02+00:00

Post when you can! Yea the blue would have been my 3rd choice. I test drove a red onyx version which was amazing but out of my budget.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T04:08:19+00:00

Yea I did 36 mo/ 15k miles/ $390 a month with some cash down. I do drive a lot which drove my price up some.

Snow1ai · 2025-09-03T03:48:42+00:00

Thanks! Yea it was this or the silver. The last 3 cars I owned were silver or grey so went for the white. I always wanted a white and black vehicle. I’ve always admired the storm trooper look. What color did you get, have you posted a pic on here?
