In a hell scape like new Mexico one tends to find shade when available.
For me, at home I'm parked under a tree in the summer or in the garage in the winter mainly because there's a coal furnace going. At work I park next to aircraft deicing rigs, they are tall. Will block sun in the early afternoon and they don't move all summer.
40 miles a day is going great to turn into more like 10 miles a day between shorter days, lower sun angle, lower battery efficiency, less regen braking efficiency and using the heater. Using the heater is the one inconvenience everyone forgets to mention.
I cheated and just use a diesel fired heater.
