Hammocking gear around 30F help

Hello, I have been slowly picking up things for my camping setup (as the budget allows) and next thing is getting a better sleeping bag for my temp rating. The one I run right now is this 59F bag and this 41F underquilt.

I have been camping a few times in late August and found that temps around 40 are chilly (with pants, socks, and hoodie on). I am going on a trip for Memorial Day weekend and wanted to pick up a better bag and was eyeballing this one, but figured I would ask around for an under $200 bag, preferably down, because I would rather it last a while

The listing is odd, but its the 550g "29-18F" bag. I've seen reviews saying to just add about 10F on the rating of cheaper bags which might be a good idea

What do you guys think? I live in Upstate NY and am 5'8" ~140lbs male (since body type and region play a factor). The last few nights were about 40-50F depending on rain

Pre-conditioning more than rated

So the other day I noticed that every time I navigate to a supercharger it says 100% of the energy consumed is more than the car is rated for... today was about 50° with on and off light rain. I know my front brakes need changed and are rubbing, so thats probably the driving difference along with the weather.

But as a 2019 long range rwd does this seem normal? Climate also seems high for not being blasted, and with a fresh filter (a couple weeks old)

EV drivers kinda deserve the bad rap

There cord is more than long enough for them to plug in forward or backward in either space btw

So I wanted to replace my cabin air filter, since it has been at least 3.5 years since its been touched. I watched a few videos, bought a 2 pack filter as described and then behind the hatch I find this black plastic bar that wont budge. It looks kinda like someone tried to pry it out before me, but I cant get to the filters. Any ideas?

Behind the felt panel is also different looking than in videos so im confused

Edit: it was further up, hard to reach for sure but I got it done. Thanks guys
