Setting up a Pi Hole on my home network. I’ve never done it before so I have no idea if it will take long. Probably take the pug on a hike too. Oh, and playing monster hunter wilds.

Hey, I appreciate your thorough response to my points! Seems like I came to the right place. Prius is a solid contender. I'll look at these in particular. I've been wondering what happened to those bumpers that used to be on older cars (80s/90s?), just give me a bumper car hahah.

I have a friend with one that I've been in a couple times. It may have been her, but that car felt like a snail lol. I'll take another look though, thanks.

I think a full EV may limit my options a bit. I'm unsure if these are totally valid though.

I actually used to drive a tesla fairly often. It was my ex's, who I lived with. We actually did street parking in that place, with no charging at home. Closest charger was 15 mins away. Not a huge PITA honestly - as long as you plan to charge around other errands. But we took a few road trips and there was always so much planning around the next charge, how fast it was, what the interface was (if not a supercharger) - and that's in California!

I was also always paranoid about the battery dying in the middle of nowhere with no way to get it running without a tow to a charger. With a reg/hybrid, one can at least get a can of gas.

I do have charging in my current building's garage, but there are several EVs here already, I don't know/see how busy they are. I may also move soon.

When EVs are commonly found at 500mi ranges, I'll be more interested. Willing to have my mind changed though!

This is a great rec, I appreciate the tips and details. Didn't know that about the dealers. I'm always down to take the trip to santa cruz too :D. That sounds like a steal at 17K. I like that it is a bit higher but still compact. Will look into this one more for sure!
