I am still learning about my 2023 Solterra which I bought 2 months ago. 9800 miles, lease turn in. It fit within my budget. about $28K

I am feeling like even when I use the AC, low fan, eco it can drain the it by 20 miles so then I am driving around, sweating and uncomfortable & experience range anxiety.

Anyone else have some tips other than keep the window open (hot outside) I can't believe how fast it drains. Should I also just turn off the radio or what other tips do you recommend to save the battery.

I am thinking of getting rid of this and going with a use Chevy Bolt. I don't like the huge tires on this beast. I don't need 4WD.

Thoughts and please be kind.

I have a leased 2024 Solterra Premium. My lease document says the cost to buy it out would be about $30k. That doesn't count financing charges and taxes.

It has about 11k miles on it, will probably have about 13k when the lease comes up. I've done the recommended maintenance. I have not had any of the12v issues that have come up here (I have left it for as long as 12 days and it's fine). I have a dashcam installed. I am very happy with the Solterra! The only thing I don't like about the car is the manual door in the back (I'm 5'2).

I feel kind of at a loss for what to do. My lease is up at the end of March, so I know I have some time, but the dealership is already calling me. A lease on the Uncharted would probably be about $500 a month as opposed to the $336 I'm paying now, and I'm not sure the Uncharted is much of an upgrade (except for that rear door).

I can buy out my lease, which will probably cost about the same in terms of payments as a new Uncharted lease. I can finance a new Uncharted. I can look elsewhere at the Bz and whatever the Toyota version of the Uncharted is called.

I definitely want to stay with all-electric and I do not want a Tesla.

Any thoughts, ideas, strokes of genius would be appreciated!
