50 years for $2450....about $4 a month. Not a bad way to go if you plan on using it a lot.

Looks like it comes on sale every couple of months, just put it on your watchlist. https://3cmls.co/US/B01LY2V3RI

I had no trouble hitting 240 miles of range with 20% to spare in 110F heat, 70-75MPH between Tucson and El Paso. I lose maybe 10% of my range when cranking the A/C and honestly, I think most of that is for the HVB. Using A/C right now (90's) I have no change in efficiency. Only when baking in...

What would be even more welcomed is if they lowered they price. I suppose econ 101 will catch up to them eventually. The extra free trials are (pure speculation on my part) likely to drum up more data for improvements. Can't collect data if no one is buying it, can't get anyone to buy it if it...

I have the EG4 6000XP, the neutral-ground bound is SW controlled on the inverter. I have it set to unbonded and use a 30A extension cord wired into the generator input. When I plug it into the truck, I have no problems cranking full power into the inverter. It will redirect the power directly to...

I agree with the price being too high sentiment. 10k off that asking, minimum.

Wow, that's a good deal for that. I wouldn't mind one of those either for the same reason.

I would not recommend the FCSP. I use it only because it was baked into the cost of my '22 and I (at the time) was interested in the home back up solution. Ford completely botched the back up part so if/when the FCSP fails I plan to replace with Emporia. MUCH better app for tracking power usage...

It's 100% dependent on the driver. Some people perform better with 1 pedal and others (like yourself and me) do better with 2 pedals. I've tried 1 pedal a couple times, my brain just isn't wired for it. Been 2 pedal for 99.9% of my miles and my lifetime is 2.5, with a commute average of 2.7...

Early on it would take weeks, but more recently dealers have been getting better with the turn around time. Some 2-3 days, some better part of the week. Off the top of my head, it's about a half day job once they get the replacement module. The big things I recall are that it takes a few weeks...

I personally don't trust the SOH number. All I care about is my max useable energy when at 100% SOC (displayed).

I used the method @Firn mentioned very early on. The wireless AA always made my phone overheat so I gave up and disabled it. Have had no issues since.

Ditto what @bmwhitetx said. Most of the time, mpk discussions refer to efficiency while driving. Taxman and a few others report their cost efficiency as well.

If Lucid offers 240v power on their upcoming 50k models, that will be my go to if I am forced to replace my lightning. Regardless, I'm still interested in them for my kid's first car in 5 to 6 years. I have little faith in the big 3 right now.

Disagree about the achievable numbers. I've hit 2.2 several times on my trips between Tucson and El Paso in those temps @ 70mph. It's largely dependent on winds. I've never gotten as low as 1.7 @ 70mph unless on a steep incline. Even with a 10-15mph head wind I usually see 1.8-1.9. (Trailing a...
