I made a series of errors: Mistake 1: I put my kayak bed extender in the truck bed, and forgot to take it out, before going to work. Mistake 2: When I got to work and opened the bed to start loading subs, I saw I had something in the bed, and I rested it up against the tailgate instead of...

Never good when your vehicle is in the shop and it is a huge bummer it is at the beginning of your ownership but alteast 2-3 weeks is not too bad. I had to wait 6+ months last year for 3x $2 bolts for my previous diesel truck...

You really came to the right place for us to talk you off the ledge... ;) --- I have a Pro SR, and so far it has been great; it is probably not the ideal road trip vehicle and it certainty is not greatest for long distance towing, but I don't road trip a whole lot and I don't tow anymore. I...

Thus far I have only hit -28C with my Lightning this year, but the winter was unusually mild here. So I haven't hit -40C like previous vehicles. If the battery was prewarmed I was hit hitting 1.3-1.6M/KWH when it cold soaked I was between .8-1.1M/KWH. Preconditiong that battery is a must. ---...

For the current app you could add a "buy me a coffee" button. :cool:

Also, for anyone doing your own electrical. Since this is constant voltage your wire needs be 125% the load, the load needs to be 80% or less of your breaker capacity. I can charge the truck off of the 2-2-2-4 but thinking I could potentially do two chargers was quite over zealous for my...

My last truck, which had a baby diesel engine, would start in -40; that was not with the engine block heater plugged in either! Granted I used a decent amount of additive in the winter to keep thing moving; at that temp though it could take the cab over an hour to heat. So far I have only hit...

I will probably start going to 90-95% for these colder days. I am using the departure time and warming at home before work. At work though I am parked outside, and that can be 8-14 hours depending on the day, it is the after work where I am burning through the range.

Yesterday I was at work for 12 hours, and the temp was just slightly below 0F. Even driving quite conservatively I certainly burned through the state of charge on the way home. I am curious once things get down to -40F here. I have a 52 mile round trip commute, about 32 miles of it is highway...

It took me a few hours, but I am now as smooth with the 1-pedal as using two. The trickiest part for me to learn was canceling the cruise control. That being said if it is extremely icy out I tend to use the two-pedal mode.

I live in Minnesota with a SR, so far, in the week I have owned it about 240km's would be the farthest I could make it. Things have been unseasonably warm right now and it has been around 0C, but winter can get to -40C here and I am sure that will drop more. Your salesman may be correct...

^ This Fully agree. In 10-15 years I am sure things will be better, doesn't mean this isn't a great vehicle for now. It will still be cheap to drive then as well. I am not planning on selling this vehicle, I am planning on driving it into the ground, so resale value does not concern me too...

I went with the SR: 1. At first I wanted extended range, but then I realized that in the last year I have only taken a single trip that would warrant charging, in a place I am already stopping for two hours anyways. 2. Cost: My state has a $2,500 rebate that goes away at $55K MSRP, An extra 70...

They weren't haha The dealership I bought from was offering MSRP. I got $1,000 off with Ford financing, and haggled them down the other $5,500. I had a small bidding war going on via email with many dealerships across the MIdwest. ;)

At least as far as a sales goes, the entirety of the credit must be passed on to the customer; I am not sure how leasing works.

For those of you who are not into audio, feel free to ignore this one! :cool: I spent some more listening time. Where I landed for the Lightnings fixed EQ is: Treble: -3 Midrange: +3 Bass: +1 --- This is a good starting place, however there are more specific things that were bugging me...

Finished running and installing all of the wiring today. Spent about 12 hours outside installing 65ft of conduit, trenching some of it, and then pulled 85ft of 2-2-2-4 through it; which was a pain with it being winter. Materials were about $1,450 plus a EVSE, not inexpensive, but my garage will...

I am also curious if the tax liability is moving over the dealership, how much tax liability do they have? Or does that not matter? I don't have any clarity on that one. If it is solely based on their liability it seems a possibility that a dealership could sell a vehicle, offering $7,500 off...

According to this government document, which my accountant confirmed when I reached out, the point of sale moves the tax liability from the buyer onto the dealership. So your personal tax liability when purchasing is now immaterial, however you must still be under the income cap and the vehicle...

I think the three paragraphs was an overall thumbs up from me. haha ;) The audio system was not a deciding factor in the purchase of this vehicle, but I was curious none the less, and the main audio system people talked about was the B&O, finding information on the stock system was difficult...
