My wife and I were sold on EVs after owning a MachE for several months, now we have a Taycan Cross Turismo and a Lightning. I always choose the Lightning for around town driving.

I test drove a MX and have been thinking about it enough that I must've liked it. What year/trim do you have and would you buy one again?Tesla MX, charging is so easy and 20 minutes from 10% to 70%.
Psst - don’t tell @TaxmanHog lol.Currently we have the lightning (me) and an LFP Model 3 (wife). We did briefly have a fiat 500e that we bought to dip our toes into EVs. I loved that little thing. Great to run around town in and park anywhere. The range was frankly terrible but even so it convinced my wife to sell the fiat and her wrangler to get a Model 3. Fun fact I bought the 500e for $5k in late 2020 and then sold it for $10k in early 2022 as gas prices were going to the moon. That helps me feel less bad about buying the Model 3 just under the peak of its pricing.
Lots of EVs in my immediate family though. Parents have an early model 3, sister has a bolt EUV, one brother has a volt, and the other brother has an Audi Etron GT RS.
We rented a model 3 for a road trip that had the lfp battery and the wife commented on how fast it charged. Both stops to charge made it to 100% right as we were getting back in the car.Tesla MX, charging is so easy and 20 minutes from 10% to 70%.
I have long range with 7 seaters. Would I recommend it? Big question.I test drove a MX and have been thinking about it enough that I must've liked it. What year/trim do you have and would you buy one again?
For road trips I would charge to 70-80%. After that charge speed would slow down, a lot.We rented a model 3 for a road trip that had the lfp battery and the wife commented on how fast it charged. Both stops to charge made it to 100% right as we were getting back in the car.
My intention wasn't to wait to 100%, it was just done in about 30 minutes, faster than what I was expecting. I figured it would take almost 30 minutes to go from 90-100 but with the lfp pack that doesn't seem to be the case.For road trips I would charge to 70-80%.

So glad to have found you! I just ordered my Lariat ER and we have a Taycan CT. Already asked this on the Taycan forum, but what is your home charging setup? I have the Porsche wall charger on a 100 amp circuit. Wondering if I can use it to charge the Lightning? Or will I be able to charge the Taycan with the Ford charger that comes with the Lariat ER? Thanks.My wife and I were sold on EVs after owning a MachE for several months, now we have a Taycan Cross Turismo and a Lightning. I always choose the Lightning for around town driving.
Since both claim to be J1772-compliant, it should work both ways.So glad to have found you! I just ordered my Lariat ER and we have a Taycan CT.

Yes, definitely compatible- both are J1772.So glad to have found you! I just ordered my Lariat ER and we have a Taycan CT.

Own a 2022 LFP RWD TM3 and also a 2023 Lightning SR Pro.My intention wasn't to wait to 100%, it was just done in about 30 minutes, faster than what I was expecting. I figured it would take almost 30 minutes to go from 90-100 but with the lfp pack that doesn't seem to be the case.
I didn't want to limit the charge % and then get hit with idle fees.
I kinda wish I was getting the lfp packs they are supposed to be switching to for the standard range vehicle, but it doesn't look like Ford is going to make the pro available to retail again.
