My 2023 finally crossed 100,000 miles two days ago. I haven’t had the batteries tested since 71,000 when I changed my first set of tires. It had 1.5% degradation back then. I don’t notice any difference in performance or range. I charge to 90% every day. Mostly at home.

I am averaging 1.8miles per kWh across 93,000 miles. I last reset Trip 1 with 7,000 miles on the odometer.

This truck has towed almost 13,000lbs of stone and it did it like a champ.

Best purchase I have ever made for myself. And I traded in a 2017 6.7 power stroke which was my dream truck for years. This thing blows that out of the water in almost every way possible for me.

I live in Northern NY in quite possibly the worst snowbelt in the country and I do not have a garage.

Did I mention this truck f*****g rocks?!

Dang I thought I was putting miles on fast, hitting 19k in 8 months... But that's only going to put me at 64kish at 27 months.

Absolutely incredible. Glad to see some high mileage examples out there. I’ve got 15k miles in 6 months plan on doing about 30 a year. The amount of time this thing saves by not having to do oil changes every 5k miles is great and the gas savings is a plus.

What is your long term plan with the truck? Do you plan on selling it once you hit a certain mileage? Or are you gonna hold onto until the battery starts to crap out?

Over 180miles daily drive if 5 days/week
Over 120miles daily drive if 7 days/week.

That is a MEAN commute. Or you drive for work??
I think, based on OP's listed occupation, that they do do windows. That would mean driving all over the place for work, to do installations. Am I on the right track, OM150?

Just curious. What if anything went wrong in the last 100k?

also @op bro how you gonna drop a bomb like this and sign out? You need to field questions from the audience. Engage the forums!
We'll see his next post at the end of year! {based on visit trends}

Way to go! I’m soon to cross 50K and have enjoyed it. The truck I always compare it against is my amazing ‘99 F250 7.3 SD extended cab with 6 Speed Stick! A real towing machine and the HD springs made towing a big 3 axle off the hitch a breeze. Went over a scale at 19,6000 all up and the truck handled that very well. The F250 could easily haul 4,000 in the bed. Load range E tires too. The solid axles make highway speeds (towing) tolerable. That and the overload springs gave the F250 the stoutness. but I believe the Lightning can out pull it and is only limited by spring beefiness/load capacity, and the front & rear suspension. I wouldn’t go cross state with a 13,000 pound load but local shuttling equipment, rock, material is fine. I’d love a set of air shocks to add flexibility to a heavier rear load. Pulls my 24’ boat likes it’s not there, same for a mini-excavator. More of a workhorse than people think.

You drive a lot! Hats off to you!

As long as I don’t start gaining service issues my plan is to get as many miles out of it as I can. But, if it starts having to go into the shop for battery issues. I can’t really be without a vehicle with my job so I will have to consider trading it in for a new one. I would also like to wait for the next gen and see what that is looking like.
Congratulations!

This is excellent news!

What Trim do you have?

SR... ER?
ER. I don’t think I would have the same positive experience if I had gone with the SR. Very happy I made the upgrade for sure.

I live in North Carolina. Near the mountains. I feel the exact same way about my truck.
