We’re still waiting for the OP to tell us what went down upon his return to the airport…

Or he just doesn't want to deal with all the people here no matter what happened
Pretty much.

It might have helped if they had been a little less angry and used a bit more precise terminology. And it'd really have helped if we hadn't used both barrels on him right off the bat (And I do not exclude myself).

Yeah there’s also the possibility that the dealer has no clue at this point what they answer is.

When you get stopped by Police for driving over 90 mph, you'll be booked at the jail around here. You left the extra time for posting bond and getting fingerprinted out of your calculations.
In reality, yes, you're going to get your license taken away at some point. I was using extremes to show that driving faster and charging more does not always result in a longer travel time. Efficiency goes down as speed increases and it is not linear. When traveling at an extremely inefficient speed the total travel time does not necessarily go up. At least for longer trips.

Personally, any speed 10% or more over the posted limit makes me nervous. I wish our adaptive cruise had a percent over the posted limit setting instead of mph/kph over the limit. I would pick 7%-ish. Example: Posted 25? +10% ~=27. 70? +10% ~=77. Instead I have to pick a number. I pick 3 and feel uncomfortable at slower speeds and frustrated adjusting the set speed all the time at higher speeds.

2 weeks ago I was preparing for a week long trip, leaving the MME home. I left it off the charger at 80% charge.
Because I was somewhat concerned that I might be coming home to a dead LVB I left the frunk popped open.
The next day I got a notice that the LVB was low. Huh. Good thing I left the frunk open.
When I got home I discovered that there is a light in the frunk that I had not considered. But the car had gone into some sort of battery saver mode, and the battery wasn’t dead.
Next time I will handle it differently. But the car saved me from my own ignorance.
