The suddenness took me off guard. Anyway, my issue now is that according to some folks over in Tesla chat land, it's not eligible for the tax credit. If the tax credit applied, I'm pretty sure I'd be buying one as I expect an invite in the near future. However, $80k for the CT when I can get...

I don't think things are the same as when these were a steal. There has been a much more limited 2024 production. I don't know the numbers, but I know that listings aren't as prolific as they were in 2023. Maybe someone can verify, but I feel production numbers were scaled back this year. Thus...

I'm wondering what will happen in some charging deserts. When I took my trip to Durango via Taos, they were the only charging option in Taos. I mean half were vandalized and out of commission, while the remaining were slow and in bad shape, but I was grateful as there weren't other options. I...

I didn't stop looking at the signs, I had start looking at my rates. EVgo was charging .63 kW, luckily my Tesla membership hovered around .37kW. I think you might be misreading the reason people want the range. We want 400+ in range to get the advertised 320 miles of useable traveling range in...

We’ve all seen and done the review from ICE to EV. I thought it’d be interesting to reverse review objectively from EV to ICE. There is a notable number of cases that pop up here where things don’t work out in EV land and suddenly one is found trying to figure out what’s next. So, for the next...

I appreciate the invite! Unfortunately, as of Friday I'm no longer an LER owner. Sounds like fun though! I'd probably go check it out regardless if I wasn't so far away at the moment (Louisiana).

For all the sacrifices, it is the best driving truck out there!

I'm a previous customer, and they've been great. Can confirm potential discounts depending on item. If you're ready to buy, I highly recommend sending them a PM to see what they can do for you.

I'm with you, I had a huge learning curve and finally get the different mentality of EV ownership. My experiences as an extremely poor use case EV owner is why when it comes to charging on the road I'm so numbers oriented and bring this stuff up. I put tons of miles on my vehicle's and always...

Depends on the driver and length of the journey. For me: ICE: Park at Pump and initiate fill: Less than 1 minute using ApplePay and one hand managing car gas cap, he other grabbing pump. Pumping: Set pump, walk inside and use bathroom. Walk back to truck as pump clicks and completes. Hop into...

My guy; you want to showcase slow speeds, try to reach the limits of efficiency, and potentially arrive with a dead battery to a muscle car show? That's the opposite of what these shows are about. :crackup: Seriously, you will barely make it, unless you plan to drive at under 55mph the whole...

It requires a different adapter from the DC charging one. As Rick mentioned, not all are accessible. I daily charge on a Tesla mobile charger with a Lectron adapter. Anyway, best bet is to use the Tesla app to guide you to chargers open to non-Tesla's.

I DC charge all the time over 20k miles/9 months, and for what it's worth I never precondition. Mostly because the majority of fast chargers I use don't appear in my Ford nav. As others have said, this is probably more useful in colder climates further north than the areas I typically venture...

I've taken multiple 1800mi round trips. I run ABRP, then plug those stops into either Ford or Apple to navigate to each stop. On trips over 400mi each way, I actually run a second device with the ABRP route, and use my primary device via CarPlay or nav to go to each location. Then I make...

I think there have been changes via over the air updates. I swear my mi/kWh have improved without changing anything, and my charging has been faster. The fastest I've seen is with Tesla chargers at 186kW. It will hold it for 5 to 6 minutes before dropping back. It's consistent at all Tesla...

Use case, use case, use case. Whether you love or hate this truck will be completely based on how you'll use it. It is an amazing truck with limitations. If you don't learn what those limitations are ahead of time, and they apply to you, you will be miserable. If the limitations don't apply to...

ICE do not get exponentially impacted by speed, weather, and temperature like EV’s do. Further, ICE have access to dependable fueling stations located on just about every city corner and interstate exit. Furthermore, ICE can be refilled in 5 min vs 30+. Finally, unless I’m in a super car, a fuel...

I honestly don't remember, it was early in my ownership. I'd assume yours would already have it installed being a 24 model, but from what I've read it seems Ford would rather not spend the time updating the software to the latest version from the factory and wants to let the updates occur once...

I see you're in TX, were you by chance at the Baytown Buc-cees? They haven't labeled all of the stalls there. I also had to deduce which one I was in. I have a 23 LER. At that buc-ee's I have charged at the older stalls with my A2Z via app fine. When I figured out they had the built i adapters I...

Back to SOC, I used to keep mine on the calm screen all of the time strictly to have the percent battery. Bit of a headache. So glad 6.8.0 arrived yesterday... right when my replacement truck shows up. SMH
