I think the Financing and Depreciation costs covers MSRP. They say it's over 5 years so I guess they assume a 60-month loan with residual value. Would be curious what trim they used (and battery size).Some of their numbers are close, and some are outrageous. The article is very misleading. For it to be cost to own, the MSRP would have to be included on each vehicle.
I'm still confused with the CA warranty, looks like for PZEV is 10 yrs/150K, but not for BEV. My dealer and another dealer only said 8 yrs/100K. Can someone point me to the CA official source?It makes sense that thirsty classes of vehicles will benefit the most from electrification. I suspect these numbers are really conservative given the maintenance schedule and high voltage warranty coverage we enjoy, at least in CA (10y, 150k miles on battery).
Exactly. My first thought was "Uh oh...what am I neglecting?" No oil change, no transmission maintenance, brakes aren't serviced as often. Are they factoring in the weight of the truck and the need for tires?Where 4700 in maintenance come from and for maintenance to be higher then a ICE truck?
The MSRP on that Pro is 62k, the MSRP on that reg cab is 36k. 26 k difference. You drive the pro for 5 years, I drive the reg cab for 5 years. Even with their graph in that five years you still spent 26 k more than I did.I think the Financing and Depreciation costs covers MSRP.

Maintenance is way off.
The State Fees being negative is strange unless that is capturing the "not paying gas tax at the pump" - thus actually making the Fuel cost more reasonable than what they show.
I know. Right?Exactly. My first thought was "Uh oh...what am I neglecting?" No oil change, no transmission maintenance, brakes aren't serviced as often. Are they factoring in the weight of the truck and the need for tires?
I already did this because I like Lariat wheels better than Platinum. For about the price of new tires (plus the space to store them) I swap wheels and tires every rotation.I know. Right?
I can tell you I will be buying take offs down the road when and if I ever need tires. Have a small business close buy that goes to dealers and buy the tires from all the Bronco, f 150 and lightning owners that want to upgrade or Facebook Marketplace for the same peeps upgrading there brand new Lightnings to custom wheels and getting rid of their oem's.
Tires...so many tires...Exactly. My first thought was "Uh oh...what am I neglecting?" No oil change, no transmission maintenance, brakes aren't serviced as often. Are they factoring in the weight of the truck and the need for tires?
We both sell the truck at the end of 5 years. That recoups the extra $26k I spent. Now yes, I have to have that money in the first place, but for a 'total cost', depreciation is what matters and not MSRP.The MSRP on that Pro is 62k, the MSRP on that reg cab is 36k. 26 k difference. You drive the pro for 5 years, I drive the reg cab for 5 years. Even with their graph in that five years you still spent 26 k more than I did.
