Second place is the 5/23 group
Third place is the 8/15 group

Looking forward to the buzz when production resumes in a few weeks!

Those of use from the 5/23 group caused all kinds of hell at the factory. My truck was likely on the line (build date of 5/24) when things went South and started causing the big delay. However, it will be a year tomorrow (7/15) when I picked it up and started driving it, while all you whiny 7/11 people were just watching your builds.

Typical boomers, breaking it for the rest of us. 😁

I remember you guys well but don’t remember what caused the line to come to a halt. Didn’t they start back production and push half of your build week to the back lot. It seems like many of you were still whining about your trucks not being officially built while we were watching ours move across the country by rail.

Yes. Check my sig lines for the problems on that build week.
Is @Yellow Buddy still around from your build week?

Whelp. It finally happened.

In 8 years of owning EVs, I never really had a truly terrible charging experience. Maybe a broken charger here. A full station there. Usually I just make my way to the next one. But today…it was hell.

I pulled up with 7% remaining at an EA in SC. All 7 stations were charging between 25-45kW. Next nearest charger was 40 miles away. 40 minutes later, I got my 40 miles, just enough to leave and go to the next charger…

Limping along I made it. 67kW max….grabbed enough to limp the the next one. 77kW - 2/4 broken.

Kept limping…finally. 167kW….at $0.68/kW!!

It was the first time I missed a gas car in a very long time. It took me 11.5 hours to go 650 miles.

Hey all, checking in, I forgot to check in on Friday, which was my 1 year anniversary of my blend date. Still have the truck and still loving the truck.
Glad you’re still with us and still loving your truck.
