I am likely trading in my XLT SR for a Cyberbeast, but currently having some (soon-to-be) buyer's remorse. I drive a Model 3 Performance as my other vehicle, it recently started having a camera issue that Tesla can't figure out. One non-working camera means that basically nothing works, no...

Very cool! Unfortunately I have a few places that I still can't travel and rely solely on Tesla because V2s are the option. For example, going to Cleveland from Buffalo is hard, there's a 136 mile gap between Fredonia, NY and Willowick, OH. If I charged all the way to 100% in Fredonia in the...

Link seems broken, click to reserve and it just shows the features of my Lightning. I'm nervous I'm too late and it's sold out?

Maybe it's a different tax issue, there is now an income cap on the tax benefit. When other people are buying the same vehicle at $7,500 cheaper than people above the income cap, it's an instant $7,500 in depreciation. My next EV purchase is over $80k, simply so I don't have to pay more than...

Thanks everyone for the input. The short of it is that if we had 350kW charge rate up past 50% like the Taycan, combined with access to the Tesla Supercharger network, long distance trips and towing would be easy and accessible even in a SR. We're so close to doing what people want! I am glad...

I assume that adds $20k to the price as well?

Maybe I'm a simple man, but why can the new Taycan (and Lucid) charge so much faster than the EV trucks on the road? Battery is the same size as the Lightning SR, but a 15 minute charge is basically all you ever need in the Taycan. I know the Taycan is a $120k+ vehicle, is a good portion of...

Tracking on these new vehicles has been great for my relationship, but terrible for my wife's sex life.

Like a few others have said, the perfect EV truck is a Frankenstein between CT and Lightning. The frunk on my Lightning is one of the best things I've ever had in a vehicle and my friends don't care if they are in the roomy back seat. Alternatively, the sporty performance of the Platinum vs...

What if you checked on the app for SOC and pressed the start button in the app? Would that be worse or better for the 12v? 15 minutes of climate boost would hardly use any of the HVB, would it charge the 12v too?

I'm certainly pointing out small sample size types of observations, but I can say with some certainty this would extrapolate well for regional sentiment. You can even see it across states where some have huge credits for EV purchases and others have large penalties in the form of higher EV...

EV dislike seems to be bi-partisan near me. I have a friend that is very liberal and a friend that is very conservative, they want to kill each other 99% of the time, but the one place they agree is they don't want to buy EVs. My gf works with a woman who is a liberal activist, at every...

I agree that the current Lightning certainly does not meet the needs of all truck buyers. I'd counter argue that it does meet the needs of most truck buyers. The majority of people I know with trucks never tow, only those that do would really have a hard time with EV trucks. There's also the...

I assume the price for 4680 will come down and manufacturing speed will improve over the next 2-3 years. The reality is that will only help Tesla's margins, this doesn't look like it is helping their buyers at all. The fact the range is essentially the same and the charging speed is worse is a...

I'm shocked Farley didn't say he expects Ford's new truck to he worse that the Cybertruck. /s As far as EV trucks go, there's only two places I'd spend my money, Ford and Tesla. Let's hope they keep this arms race going and keep pushing each other to improve. There's some stuff I really like...

I got my XLT SR shortly after they released for $57k. Was $53k, but added the Pro power, both tow packages, and a tailgate step. I paid MSRP. With that said, I'm getting jealous of seeing some ER purchases within a few $k of what I paid. It's a great time to be in the market for a Lightning...

I'm not here to say if resale is going to tank or not, but one thing I've realized is EV improvements happen at a pace a lot slower than I anticipated they would before I bought my first one. If any of us waited for fast charging in 5 minutes, we might never own an EV. Cell phones have been...

I wonder if they should just put on/off switch on FOBs going forward?

I use the security code on my Tesla and it adds roughly 2 seconds to the start up process. Such a small hassle for a huge security benefit, I wish all vehicles would do something similar!

People like deals, increasing the price will help to then advertise $5k off, while retaining margins. I agree with the previous post, the Lightning is the only EV truck around at a $60k price point, Ford might as well take advantage of this while they can.
