Retired Army, retired Government employee.
Early ‘22 delivery Lariat with 72k miles and running strong with last deep analysis of pack SOH at 95.5% and a LOT of supercharging sessions. Only major issue I’ve had is 5 replacements of the rear lightbar.
You’ve beat me on lightbar replacements but I’m catching up! I’ve had 3 replaced.

On a related note, on the Mach E Forum back in 2023 a very savvy member, Mach Lee, had posted a method to rebalance that car's traction (HV) battery cells every so often. That post's procedure might, or might not, apply to our Lightnings... that very detailed post's thrust was that as long as the battery cells stay or are kept in voltage balance, the battery will last and last and last...
Here is Mach-Lee recommendation for periodic battery (BMS)
calibration. Very similar procedure going on in Tesla forums.
If you guys could see how a LIPO battery charger (for RC hobby)
works during charge and balance rhythms, it’s very fascinating
I’ve spent too much time years ago watching and reading about what a top tier LIPO charger does.
