What is the New Mexico speed limit?

I was going to visit a friend in New Mexico, but I also want to visit some of the state and national parks while I’m there. I’ve had a bit of a problem with speeding in the past, so I want to acclimate myself to the speeds in the state. What’s the speed limit in New Mexico?

If you want to cruise through the Land of Enchantment at a breezy pace, the
New Mexico
 speed limit is 75 mph. This only applies to rural stretches of the interstate system, so take care when approaching urban areas.
Some of the other speed limits throughout New Mexico include:
  • 65 mph on divided highways
  • 55 mph on two-lane highways and rural roads
  • 35 mph in business districts and residential areas unless otherwise posted
  • 15 mph in school zones

Where did the Tesla logo come from?
I heard the logo on my Tesla is supposed to look like a kitty cat’s nose. Is that true? If not, where did the Tesla logo come from?

Can you turn your car’s AC compressor by hand?
My air conditioning stopped working yesterday. I’m trying to diagnose the issue myself and was told to try rotating the AC compressor. It’s not budging, though. Can you turn your car’s AC compressor by hand though, or does the clutch being engaged affect that?

What causes a grinding noise when starting a cold car?
I have a 2018 Wrangler with 50,000 miles on it. Lately, I hear grinding noises when I start it on some mornings. A friend said it is probably a combination of a bad battery and cold mornings, but the battery is brand new. What else can cause a grinding noise when starting a car cold?
