My wife & I have been talking and talked to a few friends to find out about the parking situation at the high school and learned that most likely our son will get a permit, very small chance of not getting one.
We are thinking about ordering the SR+ on Sunday. The thought is by then there will be 'a lot' of people ordering before the price goes up. We will be at the end of the list so hopefully 2 months out. But if not we save $1,100 and if we get the car a month early, oh well. :)
One reason we want all electric is that in our area we have real time pricing. We pay the actual rate per hour. From 10pm - 6 am the average rate year round is $.025 kWh. We were excited when during the test drive the sales person showed us how you can set the car to start charging at a certain time. That feature works perfectly with our power.
With real time pricing over the 40 months that we have had it we have saved $620 versus if we were on the standard pricing plan. The next step is solar but we need to install a new roof first. Solar is popping up all over here, I am in northern Illinois and we have four solar homes on our block, all installed in the past few months.
