Really? Almost everyone? :unsure:

What's the old saying?....LipSTX on a pig?

After being T-boned in June, I respectfully disagree. Knowing the many challenges and delays even with "routine" warranty issues with the Lightning, there was no way I was going to have them attempt to repair my wrecked Lightning! The OP's truck looks as bad or worse than mine (my airbags...

@Jeis: First off, I applaud your determination to make this happen! I'm sure many locals and other BEV travelers will benefit from your initiative. If I'm understanding this correctly, the question isn't what category of charger to install. Based on cost and other limiting factors, they're...

Congrats! Safe travels back to Utah. I'm interested in more of the story...why Wisconsin to get it? Was it the price? The color? How did you find it? Autotrader? Cars.com? Inquiring minds want to know :unsure:

Well, I’m approaching 5 weeks since the crash and still no payment from the insurance company. But I couldn’t tolerate commuting 80 miles in the Civic every day, so I ended up buying this yesterday: It’s a used 2024 F150 XLT 3.5L EcoBoost in Avalanche with about 10k miles. It was sold in...

Tell me more about requesting a "private offer". Who exactly do you ask at Ford?

My next EV truck will most likely be the T3 or the Slate that I have reserved (if either one actually materializes)

Yesterday ended up being Settlement Day! :handsinair: After a few days of emails and phone calls, I was able to get them to increase the total settlement amount by about $1,500. Not as much as I'd hoped, but worth the effort to dispute their initial valuation. Final settlement is $44,735...

1. The first offer from any insurance company is always low. That's how they play game. They rely on the fact that most guys won't question their numbers. I'm not that guy. :punch: 2. Carvana doesn't buy cars at market value. Why would I accept their valuation? :unsure: 3. My truck was built...

Since the crash, I’ve been driving a spare Honda Civic on my 80 mile daily commute. It gets amazing gas mileage at around 36. Yesterday I almost ran out of gas because I'm not in the habit of checking the fuel gauge anymore! I feel like I’m driving a go-cart and will get squashed at any moment...

That's the question of the day....I'm honestly very conflicted about it. I've loved my Lightning, but I'll admit that I'm considering going back to an ICE truck. At this moment I'm undecided.

I'm open to your suggestion. What would you settle for if you were me?

You must work for Allstate! ;) Mine is a 2023 XLT SR with 13,200 miles. They offered $39,974 prior to taxes and fees. As I said, it wasn't as low as I expected. But comparable trucks in my area with similar mileage go for $41-43K prior to taxes and dealer fees. We're close, but they need to...

Update: Today I took a ride on the Allstate Roller Coaster! ? o_O I started the day going to the service desk at my Ford Dealer. I told the Service Manager my story, showed him pics of the damaged truck, and asked for his advice on how best handle this. His response was that from his...

Update: I got a call from the adjuster just as I was stepping into a meeting. I didn’t have time to talk, so I asked for a quick update. I was stunned when he said:“We’ve determined that your vehicle is repairable, what shop do you want to do the work?” ? ? I just replied that we’ll need to...

Update: I received the following text this afternoon: Our review of your damages is taking longer than expected. We are working on finalizing your vehicle's value and will email it once the review is complete. We apologize for this delay. Translation: Our adjuster took a 4-day weekend to go...

Of course. In addition to that, I’ll be negotiating for reimbursement for my fuel expense, my HOV toll charges (With the Lightning I got free HOV lane access, but now I have to pay), and rental reimbursement that I was entitled to but didn’t use. I will also lose my 0% financing.
