I'm right there with ya. Generac 24 kW in my case and it came in handy this winter when our transformer just randomly decided to take a dirt nap. Problem for me is that the Ford lives in a second structure (affectionately known here as MC2.0) and there is no backup power for that. Would like...

Too right. I took my '23 in to have the two open campaigns completed plus a 10k service and I had a text from the dealer before I could get home offering to buy the truck. That did NOT happen with the '24 Expedition I had serviced the day before.

One could stay in a hotel for sure for less money but of course the travel trailer will retain some residual value where the rental of a hotel room is totally gone. In addition to the tractive capability of these EV RVs which are meant to extend the range of an EV tow vehicle they are also...

Same as post #2 eh?

There is also the Pebble Flow with deliveries underway for some months now. Pebble

A few weeks ago I stopped at a convenience store for a sandwich and coffee and parked next to an Amazon panel van made by Rivian. I was completely unaware that they made such a thing. The delivery driver was eating lunch in the drivers seat and graciously spent a few minutes talking about the...

Here are my two in their winter resting phase.

I was just, um, yankin yer chain man. ;)

I have thought about a DR some. But, chain maintenance AND a carburetor? Ugh. I swapped out a K1600 Grand America for the R1300GS Adv and lost around 250 lbs in the process. That GSA feels just about as nimble to me as a DR, KLR etc. For now. But, I also happen to have a '22 Africa Twin...

Hmmmm. Two other Lightning/R1300GS owners here besides me? Are there more? What's going on here?

We sure like our EV9 but for a couple of things: 1 - placement of some of the controls seems like an afterthought and is neither convenient nor intuitive 2 - like most other Asian makes I have tried they just don’t seem to believe that I want a really hot seat and I want it NOW! Gotta give the...

I believe they made a major investment in Rivian also.

Ha ha. That's funny. They (GM) are pushing use of in car nav so that they (GM) have possession of your location data instead of Apple.

That's a lot of motor to run a generator.

Right, I get that and technically I suppose the EREV is a form of PHEV. But right or wrong I draw a distinction between the two by what exactly is in the power delivery system.

Where is point 3 coming from? Ford is not talking about a PHEV.

In addition to my Lightning I personally know two other people who bought early (22-23). One of those switched back to gas. Range issues. So, in my little world, 33% retraction.

I'm curious what efficiency factor you used for your trial here. My first post about this was just illustrative. If I can't pull the boat then I have no reason to go there. In that config i am hopefully going to achieve 1.1 mi/kWh but more likely 0.9-1.0. For now, this is an ICE only trip...

Hmmm, maybe. Maybe not. But I think we can all agree that, as it relates to the EV marketplace, we are not they. That was my point.

Assuming this mini rant was directed at least partially my way let me assure you that I would not expose you to either my complaining nor "bitching". You certainly would not enjoy it. I am however perfectly happy to drop a little rain on the sunshine and rainbows expressed by the OP and anyone...
