The wireless charger thing is a bit scary. I would put some shrink wrap around that USB connection board.

Maybe it's worth putting some tape on there or something to keep water out of the connection. Those red rubber covers that we throw away would have been perfect.
I didn't realize the non-Tremor version of the Mavericks doesn't come with a spare. Interesting.
AAA or other roadside assistance is a good investment if you have the time to wait for them to come. Depending on where you are, they may take a few hours to show up. I do like your idea of...

There I was out in the Mojave Desert, where I have had a 4x4 for 30+ years. I have never been stuck or hurt my vehicle.
Today was that day.
This was the first time, and yes, that was the rock we pulled out. In my defence, it was buried, and only the top 1/3 of the rock was above the ground.
