I feel the same way. I have a Y that does 326 miles. I keep it at 150 miles average and for around town and the next town over it’s fine. When I travel into the office twice a month it’s 159 miles. Even at 326 miles I have to juice up my Y before heading back home. Lightning standard range is...
That’s okay, I’ll just enjoy driving my Y until then. It’s a blast and can’t imagine what the Lightning will feel like. In fact it would be hard to give it up it’s so much fun to drive.
I figured with a time stamp of 11 minutes and 13 minutes after they opened it up, I would have a decent...
Unless you’re in a rush the twice a year on long road trips, I would say no. I’ve been using an EV for a few months now that has a 326 miles on the battery. I travel to my office a couple times a month that is 156 miles away. While at home I keep the battery at 150 to about 190 miles, that is...
I made two reservations as fast as I could on my phone when it opened up. One reservation went to Folsom and one to Sacramento. I’m changing both. I heard on the Bronco forum that Walnut Creek has a very good dealership. So good they sold a Bronco on the spot, at sticker price because someone...
I test drove a Model 3 and Y last May and it was so addicting, that I ordered a Model 3. Then changed my mind and picked up a demo Y in June. I absolutely love that car and how it drives, and 326 miles for $14 dollars of electricity is so refreshing. But, I was an early reservation on a Bronco...
Even though I ordered two, one for my father and one for me in the first ten minutes, I am not at all excited about this. All due to having a Bronco soft top built in August and just sitting there for over a month with no movement, and no explanation. The Bronco hype for new ford vehicles is...
Three years ago I made up my mind to own a truck, since all of my past vehicles have been sports cars and SUV. Originally, I planned on going for a Rivian last year, but couldn’t pass up reserving the Bronco when I saw it debut. I figured I would buy the Y now (Since my Explorer was up to 170k...
I just got a Model Y and love it. I can’t see owning two EV’s. I would rather spend the money on home improvements and sell it. I’m also going to own a Bronco next month, but will probably keep that, as long as I really like it as a weekend vehicle.
I think the 300 mile wasn’t a deterrent for most, because the average person doesn’t drive that far, or half that far in one day. The rise in gas and everything else is making people think how far they can go paying for electricity. Once the math is done it’s a no brainer, considering the...
Nice thinking! But, if you decide to manufacture your own solar power at home for your Electric F-150 and want to drive for free, look at this guy! He’s an amazing guru with solar, but it can be done. No Utility company needed, as long the sun is shining. This is where I think the Federal...
Sounds like everything lined up! I made the mistake of driving a Model 3 for the first time last month and immediately ordered one to replace my commute vehicle, 2013 Ford Explorer that has a ton of miles on it. I can’t wait to fill up my last tank of gas and pay .10 cent Kw to fill up an 85 Kw...
I just saw this in the Rivian forum. I did not put in a reservation for a Rivian as I thought they were just too pricey. Once the Lightning came out I was thrilled I didn’t and can’t wait for it...
Hard to say. I put in a reservation for a Bronco last year July 13th about an hour and half after it opened. Ordered it in Jan and should see it in August. But, there’s a lot of people who were supposed to get their Bronco delivered in 2021 and it’s looking like a gamble if all of them will...
I just got my confirmation build date for my Bronco for July and it will go about that far on a 20.8 gallon tank for about $78. Let’s say the E F-150 has a 160kw battery, for that range of miles it would only cost me $16 dollars of electricity to go the same distance!
I really will have to...
