Same thing here. I'll be in the 2023 crowd, and I've never talked to anyone about my desired trim. Funny thing is, the XLT is the last trim I would get. Pro or Lariat for me.
I have the same car. IMO it's the best roadtrip car I've ever owned, but that may be due to the routes I drive are often up and down the I5 corridor, where it feels like there is a supercharger at every exit.
It definitely does require more forethought than a typical ICE roadtrip, but i enjoy...
Dick's Canby Ford (Oregon) expects to have there demo in around the end of July. Lariat ER. It's listed for sale on their website, but it's not actually for sale.
I feel like 30% of voters have never experienced the joy of one pedal driving. Once you drive that way for a few hundred miles it's really hard to go back.
Could one of you post a picture of your Carbonized Gray? The configurator does such a poor job of simulating colors. I'd like to see what it "really" looks like.
I'll admit, the only EV I've taken on a road trip is a Tesla, but it wasn't much of a hassle. We drove 2,000 miles round trip from Portland to LA and back. In the past, when I drove an ICE vehicle, the trip would take about 15 hours each way. In the Tesla it took about 17.5 hours. And the...
The Leaf (and the Bolt) are nice cars, but she commutes from Portland to Tacoma and back about once a week. The limited "fast" charging on those two cars make them difficult for long distances. The only somewhat inexpensive option that was realistic was the VW iD4, which starts out a few...
Sure I've had this debate with my right wing friends before. Let the tech stand on it's own. I would say the same should apply to oil, let's not subsidize oil either. Which my friends agree with, haha.
I personally think the incentives should exist until the point of mass adoption. We're...
Some people waiting for their EV reservation are not rich. They may be stretching to go for the BEV. It isn't just about helping manufacturers move their product.
My local dealership (Dick's Canby Ford) doesn't seem to know what a Lightning is. I've emailed them twice asking for basic info and got no response. Finally I called and the kid I talked to didn't know anything. Probably need to stop in at some point and shake someone's hand and get a...
I hate to say it, but the PRO SR won't be a great road tripper. On a road trip you never want to charge 0-100%. More realistically you will be charging 10-80%. That means (best case) your 180 miles of highway range is now knee capped at about 130 miles. Again, these are optimistic numbers...
Honestly, for many of these companies it's sort of scammy. They can trot out a concept and make up some compelling numbers. Everybody wants to get in early on the next Tesla, so they can generate mountains of cash from investors. Their top level execs can pay themselves a hefty salary...
