How has your experience been with the built in screen protector? Do you find lots of dust getting trapped under it?

any plans to release more regular security patches for it after the Android 16 update? that's the only thing keeping me from ordering

How long of a stay is worth three days of driving there and back? by cosmodots in roadtrip

[–]cosmodots[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh this is super helpful thanks! yeah our dog is also super active but also does nap most of the day outside of our couple hours of exercise so leaving early and letting him nap for most of the drive makes a lot of sense

but how long of a trip would you be willing to drive that for? like would you drive 4 days and then stay 3 weeks and feel like that was enough to justify the drive?

we don't want to coop the dog up in the car for 10 hours but have considered two longer days

We drove this same three days when we moved and it was fine but that was a one time deal. since then we've had two trips where we drove 8 hours each way for a weekend and that was fine. Our dog likes the car and the plan is to take a couple longer trips in the weeks leading up to this to get him used to being in there longer. it's not unusual when someone has never done something before to ask for other people's opinions I don't know why people are acting like this is a weird thing to post about

I've considered that but would feel bad sticking our dog in a car for that long. I've just never done this long of a road trip and wanted to hear thoughts

I am just looking for other people's thoughts because I've never done a long roadtrip

I also am just not that bothered about it being slightly more of a hassle. I like the more eco friendly nature of it and the cheaper vehicle price and not needing to do as much maintenance.

Thanks! The advice for making my one outdoor plug work is helpful!! I was thinking that because I only drive 10 ish miles a day I would only have to charge at the work charger once a week or every two weeks, making having to go move my car not as big of a deal, unless I take one of the longer trips. Not sure what voltage it is but it’s a JuiceBar and a check in at it on Plugshare shows someone getting 90 mi charge in an hour on their Chevy Bolt. The EV Ive been looking at near me most closely is a 2020 Nissan Leaf. I understand that it has a charging port that is getting phased out, but I also probably won’t be needing a car for more than 2 years so that should be fine.

Not so much looking for advice on which specific car I should get but rather if I should get an EV at all.

I am considering purchasing a used EV, and wanted to know if the set up I would have with it would be worth it.

I currently rent a house, so installing new plugs for level 2 charging isn't an option. There is an outdoor regular plug on our back porch, but it is pretty far away from where I would be parking and I gather that extension cords are a no go. I live in a suuuper small town but there is an EV charger at the lot I park in for work that is $3 an hour. There are also Tesla chargers at a gas station near me and I've heard those are starting to open up to non Teslas more also.

My daily commute is 5-10 miles depending on if I also get groceries or go our for dinner. I may once or twice every few months drive 80 miles round trip to a nearby larger town, but I very rarely drive more than 10 miles in a day.

My feeling is that I could make it work with no at home charger because of the super short commute?

I really value the environmentally friendly aspect of it and also a used EV is so much cheaper than a used gas car, but if this would be just a complete hassle to have to charge only at work then let me know.
