2024 flash, purchased new 11/24. 24k miles, 100% soh, almost never dcfc. Mostly charging at home when I need to I try to drive it a few times per week because I drive a different vehicle to work. 2.4 mi/kwh average to this point.
all in all the best truck I’ve ever owned be that gas or diesel...
All the journalists? Like they’ve got any honor anymore or ever. They’ll do what’s best for their bottom line. I don’t imagine the ceo of ram or any company of that size would say anything honest about their supply chain issues, kick backs from energy companies, or how much they genuinely care...
A forklift? Cmon man. What kind of engine/generator would you use? A 3cyl Honda motor is about 120 lbs no big deal.
the whole conspiracy thing, I wouldn’t call it that. It’s more of a good business practice. Doesn’t mean it’s the right thing morally, but when it comes to shareholders and such...
It’s just not going to make it. The oil companies and market makers will ensure this dies on the vine. Even if they can’t get rid of it entirely they’ll make it ridiculously expensive for no reason. Think the etorque when it came out.
again the member on here doing the range extender project...
The whole solar part is where I’m confused. Are you talking about a small portable array being used to charge this or something else? I’m guess it’s portable when I see the small battery mentioned. If it’s portable, I love the energy but unless you’ve got significant panels you’re toting around...
I’ll believe it when I see people driving them. Not when they show up at a show or the one offs that people get pictures of near the factory. I’d put money on the fact that they won’t come. If they do they’ll neuter them the same as with any rev that’s came out.
If that doesn’t work they’ll...
If you’ve noticed most of the electric only vehicles, so no erevs or plugins, have very similar ranges. The lightning, model 3 or any Tesla has that 300 mile-ish range. That’s much more interesting and also much more consortium-like of the auto industry.
Yeah, I know the same range vs...
Seems like more trash. There’s misspelled words on the page. They don’t care, they won’t I don’t know the why for the data call that will go straight to someone’s recycle bin or be taken out of context and put as a quote somewhere you’ll never see. I did say that I’d put up a voting poll to see...
It’s not happening. Never has and never will. Erevs don’t make it, if they make it to market they come to the American market neutered or in a completely unrealistic setup to see the value. Think of the volt, the bmw i3, and think of the dodge ram charger or ram erev (because you have to think...
True. These would be the sales specific data that would’ve made the lightning much more marketable against the ICE. Or any vehicle for that matter, if you have a new soccer mom/dad suv that you use for these types of local commutes or even the occasional long trip because if you need a...
Don’t know if the raptor would be the best choice, not that it would make a great deal of difference. I suppose the raptor is pricier but not because of fuel economy.
Not at all, is that what you’re seeing? I’m in the south/midwest so I don’t think the local economy here would support that. The top 11 states for energy costs are blue AF (with exception of Alaska) but I’m sure most people knew that anyway.
I don’t drive mine as much as I did before. The home charging keeps it fairly stable but if I had 5-6 kw of panels it would work itself to be free overtime.
In another thread we had been discussing the pricing changes for the new and or used and I explained that there were plenty of previous and a few years previous models of the mustang mach e still for sale nearby where I live for same prices or in some cases for more than newer model years. Well...
Despite my issues with Ford if I could buy mine again at a lower price? Yes. Many times
Over . Anyone on here especially that would tell you to shy away is likely just a little chaffed by the fact that we were early. Otherwise it’s the best truck you can buy for 99.99% of people who need a truck...
