Judging by the photo he was already fortunate and now has a really cool truck too.

Rumson, NJ here.

You don't have range anxiety because of what you pointed out yourself. The truth is most of us drive less than 100 miles per day, and although getting quite a bit more than that is helpful, it's not necessary, provided you have SOMEPLACE nearby, preferably home to charge your vehicle on a...

@world2steven the tax credit isn’t unique to Tesla and they don’t qualify any longer so I don’t understand the issue. Every maker who hasn’t delivered the 200,000 is offered the same tax credit. Why is Tesla singled out as a problem here? If they cancel it, that’s Tesla’s fault or legacy...

I don't see the issue with PWs but that's not the purpose of this discussion. Mass batter storage I think is an important issue that needs to be tackled as well as battery chemistry. Tesla is doing some very interesting things in that arena as well as Panasonic and others. I think we they get...

I think what plays into that cult-ish view is everyone thinks they need to have Tesla killer. Ford, GM, etc co-existed for 100+ years. The same will be said in the EV market when the big companies catch up. I like EVs and I am certainly happy that their is choice. I currently have 3 EVs and...

Why does everyone believe that every new EV is a or has to be a Tesla killer? Bi-directional charging is definitely interesting and I believe the adoption will grow over time but doubt it factors heavily into EV purchase decision. Moreover, I am sure Tesla will do it as an adjunct to their...

This was what I was thinking / concerned about. Using the bed is fine for me—I would just strap it in place.

@beatle for me tailgating is exactly tailgating. My stuff is all contained within my parking spot so I’d just open the frunk and not be moving it. The same for the beach the truck comes on with me and I drop the tailgate. The other item I would use it for is some road trips we usually get...

@Sdctcher thanks for all of the info. I really appreciate it. I think this may be the one for me.

Do you think it will be safe to operate within the confines of the frunk or should I strap it in the bed?

There's tons of options on a quick google search but would enjoy hearing anyone's experience with a particular unit. They run quite a range in pricing as well. Here's a less expensive unit. Here's an expensive unit I'm not shy to spend appropriately for the right unit.

I figured I post it here and see if anyone has experience but will also research camping gear.

I’ve been thinking about a refrigerator / freezer that would be chest style to store in the frunk for tailgating and beach trips. Anyone have any thoughts in this or suggestions on prospective units? I'm thinking this would be way better than a cooler full of ice.

Most Tesla owners charge at home. i certainly do for my Tesla and 2 other EVs. The best part of EV ownership is home charging cheap and never going anywhere for fuel. However, on road trips the Tesla SC network is light years better than EA and EV GO combined. They have multiples more...

is the rate location dependent. I had our MYP in Tallahassee since the fall, son is an FSU student, and it’s .45 / kWh there. Lower is better of course.

I believe in the US supercharger rates are up to .45 / kWh so it will certainly help accelerate Teslas earning. I haven’t SC’d my MYP in a bit so I could be wrong. However I’d pay the premium for road trip security where EA is still growing. edit: just checked and amended to .45 / kWh so...

Being about the same size, shape and height as any Crew Cab 4x4 with a short cargo box, the Lightning will look comfortably familiar to Americans. That’s strategic. If Tesla’s Cybertruck is an angular modernist home hanging off the cliff of public acceptance, the Lightning is prairie revival...

Length (8 minutes) Queue YOU MIGHT NEED to grab hold of something. You are about to read a rave review of Ford’s first full-size electric pickup, the 2022 F-150 Lightning, which I drove at a press event in San Antonio earlier this month. My positivity may not be suitable for all audiences. And...

Dang paywall. Hang on.
