My 3600 sq ft house is efficient, thanks to insulation and triple-pane windows, etc. costing me only $150 per month for electricity. Hence, I can't justify the cost of the panels for my home, even after tax credits.
I came close to buying a hybrid for my wife, but couldn't find the right options that we wanted in a hybrid.

I have a two car garage and three vehicles now, a classic car(hobby car) our 440GC and a pick up truck I need for my part time retirement job and also use to haul our boat. I don’t really have much room for a fourth vehicle, If I replace the 440 it locks us into using the Truck for long trips. I have considered it, but I guess saving all the fuel costs in DD situations is not worth the lifestyle change at this time. An electric truck is just stupid range wise or I’d consider one of those too.
Once there is a bunch more fast charger infrastructure around here or battery range improves a little more, I’ll reconsider.
