They're a lot more tolerable on 3-3.5x. Then again i watch everything at high speed. :crackup:They just put out one yesterday and it was about 2:45. They're doing a race from northern Maine to the Florida keys but the video was just them getting everyone to Maine. The track they moved to is about 1.5hrs from me.
LMAO! That's perfect! You watched the 'fast' version, only as long as a full-length feature film! I promise I'll never put anything out that long :)

I enjoyed the offroad trip and the use of a generator to recover some of the power back. I often wondered if it would make a difference vs the extra weight of hauling a generator and fuel. Too bad it was a sad ending. I wondered if your red Lightning ended up at Martin's Rebuilds since I have not seen many red ones out there. I was shocked that you had all that trouble in your own country to be able to buy used one. Keep up the videos

Haha! No, that's not mine over at Martin's. He's such an amazing guy. He had that unit - I think - long before my ill-fated trip.
As I discovered, the generator weight had little to no impact to my range, especially when it was tucked up at the front of the bed - and the fact that my speeds were lower. There's been a lot of tests done showing payload has far less impact on range than many think. Towing is the real range killer.
Even with all the drama of the accident, I added well over 100 miles of range to Thor's average than without it. By all accounts, that's incredibly useful.
But there's more solutions on the way - and Martin and Zachary have a LOT to do with it!
Thank you so much for the support and for watching, Jeff!

Can't stand that guy, he drones on and on before he gets to the point and those stupid back ground splashes of video with no value to the topic.
How dare you! Simon’s content and humor is top notch. We love Trucked Up EV’s.

Perhaps you've never heard of tact. It's a YouTube channel, not your personal school system. You must be real fun at parties. Get to the food and get out. The rest of that meaningless friend talk is a waste of time. Many people don't share your opinion. Trucked up EV's is one of my favourite EV channels.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I do blather on occasionally, but in a nice way...
Unless I'm grumpy.
I think it's called storytelling.
Another reason why Universal Studios doesn't pump out Shorts...
I appreciate the support!

You don't have to sell anything to me and I don't sugar coat what I say when I speak the truth.

If you have a problem with that, it's YOUR problem. Oh and they make pills for what ails you. Go see one of those free doctors y'all have up there and get you some before you make any more enemies.
Dont confuse being a jerk with "sugar coat". Your comment wasnt constructive, it was just rude. He is entirely justified in his respons and dont try and gaslight this to feel justified.

Thank you! At 97% like rate one of the highest engagement rates out of a channel of this size, thanks to an amazing community, with YouTube indicating the most common summary of my channel as 'engaging' and 'educational', I will keep telling the stories of my EV truck journey for my viewers, regardless of brand, and help in any way I can to accelerate EV truck adoption.
This comment means a lot right now. I really appreciate it.
I wouldn't make too much out of the "like rate" most who don't bother with hitting the don't like button, they just click t leave like I did.

I’m a bit late to this but I had to delay receipt of our 2023 lariat by a week as the dealer in Pennsylvania could not legally release the truck to me with an open recall

i haven’t investigated the law but it fit as it was the defrost system recall and that system is a PA safety inspection requirement
