I haven't seen that screen yet. 🤞 Hoping it's just rolling out slowly.

This. I went with the 18" base Lightning wheels for my snow tires for this reason. The weight requirement and shortages also made it harder to find snow tires in my size that had good enough load rating.

I think they've said they're domestically sourcing most of the components for the Scout.

Both sides would be nice but that's extra wiring and parts not all designers want to spend money on and add vehicle complexity and weight. I don't understand why the passenger side is the best place. The driver has to walk all the way around the vehicle to plug in instead of plugging in right...

I really wanted the Silverado with the max range, midgate and flex tailgate but I couldn't justify the asking price. Once I'm nearing the end of my lease I'll check my options on the used market. There's also the matter of how often I'll use those features. I also didn't like the omission of...

What about Escalade IQ? Large, long range, 800V & 350kW charging speed.

It reminds me of one of the models Honda cancelled a week ago

Walmart already having the land is definitely in their favor. For me, DCFC is 2x to 3x the cost of home charging, which is kind of ridiculous but I expect the cost of the equipment and installation is high. Having a charger on site can influence where we go while in a trip, if we have a 25...

I charge almost every day to 80%, charge to 100% the night before two longer trips in the 4 months I've owned it.

The unusual "perfect storm" conditions of 2022-23 weren't going to hold, if finance companies and automakers expected they were and didn't hedge their bets somehow, then that's on them. Used EVs had pretty good resale prices because EVs were hot at the time. New units were production capacity...

As far as I understand, sales are slow for all vehicles. Also a lot of people don't tend to switch unless they think gas and diesel prices will be high for a while. There's still a lot of decently speced new Lightnings available at relatively attractive prices with incentives (IMO).

It seems like there's plenty available, 70 of them within 100 miles of me. Not terribly different than the number of new Lightnings still available.

What are the prices for these? What's the ETA? I'm interested but I don't know when I'll be ready for it.

There's still plenty of inventory to choose from, as mentioned in post #9 in this thread.

It's often not that hard to add a charger at the home. Ford even offered to pay for installing one. Even if there's not a lot of panel capacity, there's chargers that can use a 20A 240V circuit, good enough to charge for a pretty decent commute while you sleep. Supporting renters is a problem...
