Is there anyone who has a 100K miles on their truck. Maybe we should have a 100K mile club?

that would be a LOT of miles in a few short years since even the first one hit the ground...

but, yes, with over 52,000 miles, in on a long travel trip this week for another 700+ miles over several days to see three sons in N Georgia and far N Alabama and back, I don't see a single degradation of the battery, no issues with any build or equipment or software, and using ProPower to make coffee, power the TV for overnights, electrons to keep the tMobile WIFI box operational, etc., and making good use of Tesla Supercharger locations... all is good.
I still pinch myself with the smoooooooooth easy riding, especially at 70+mph on heavy-traffic interstates... wow! : )

Wow. It took me just over 7 years to reach 100k miles on my Focus Electric.

For those wondering about battery longevity, the FFE's 100 mile range means that 100k miles required at least 1000 charge cycles, and likely more than 2000 since most were topping up from 50% SOC or better.

Also, pretty much EVERY charge was to 100% since the FFE doesn't allow setting a charge target.

It’s not battery degradation you have to worry about, it’s battery cell failure requiring the replacement of one (or more) battery modules. That typically results in being without your truck for two (or more) weeks while waiting for the parts and installation.

Here is a famous post last year of someone reaching 100k miles on their Lightning. It made news on InsiderEV and a few other places. They also had a follow up post with a picture of their dash.

This month I saw a 90k mile Lightning Platinum on Cars.com. So it's not unheard of for these high mileage trucks to exist.

I have 77k on my 2023 Lariet. I’m trying to stack the miles as fast as possible. At 71k when I got my first set of tires. I had 1.5% degradation and I charge to 90% every day. Mostly at home. Some supercharging.

My ‘22 just turned over 47k miles with no problems :) I’m still driving my ICE truck as well as not to run up the miles quite as quick. I plan on putting over 300k on this truck just like I have done with my ICE F-150s.

Impressive numbers! Random question: Is there any particular reason you spell Lariat as "Lariet"?

Bc I’m a dumbass and just flat out spelled it wrong. It’s a mental glitch. Like when people used to say O’Biden without hearing it. But that aside. I love this truck and I traded in my dream truck 2017 6.7. Honestly though I would hate it. And I don’t think I would ever buy another ICE vehicle as a daily driver again. It’s been fucking awesome frankly. The white lightning and I have been to figurative war together and it has prevailed stronger and cheaper than my diesel ever did. I strapped 12,000 pounds of stone to it last fall.
