Looks like the 911 will be the last man standing. Options

In the future Porsche line-up, the 911 will stand alone.

I'm fighting for a new job that would require occasionally driving to DC (maybe once a week) from my home in York PA.

If I get the job, I'm probably going out and buying something like a Chevy Bolt or a Model 3. Something small and electric. No way do I want to have to drive my 4Runner to DC on anything that comes close to a regular basis- it probably would not fit in the parking garage...

If this pans out for you, look into an older Model S with unlimited supercharging. Preferably a 75 or 85 kwh battery. They're falling into the low-$20K region. There are Superchargers up and down I-95, and there's one in York. If you luck out and find one with the first version of Autopilot, the highway drive will be pretty relaxing, too.

I don't know how much I'd need to use a supercharger station, but almost all the Sheetz stations around me have installed a row of superchargers.

Ford is also in talks with Tesla to be able to use their Superchargers, and it SEEMS like this is becoming the standard. That said, I have 220 available in my house, and should be able to keep the car topped up fully between uses.

I'm a little bit afraid of the price, but I'm also kinda waiting for the VW ID Buzz to come out stateside. Lots of rumors at this point, but the US market is supposed to have a longer range then the Euro version. We shall see.

Working at Federal agencies, I know my current home office has preferred parking and free charging available - and its all Solar based which is kinda cool. I don't know if the new agency has something similar or not. I scoffed when they installed that back in 2012-2013. But within a few years there were always Teslas parked there during the day.

If I get an electric car that will also probably be the tipping point for me to look into rooftop solar. That technology seems to be getting better every day.
