72,000 mostly DCFC miles and maybe 1/3 pulling a trailer. I saw 194 kW recently but since mid Jan have noticed the improvement. All my trips are 900-1,200 miles one way usually CA tip to tip. A dozen trips to Salmon, ID. One RT L.A. to Boston to bring back a boat.
Heading Vegas area for a week tomorrow.
Always hypermiling - not 70-75. Have built a round styrofoam full nose cone and that didnāt help. Moving to tail wind management next. Weight might be an issue in two weeks when I put a jeep in a 14k (capacity) dump trailer and tow it from OR to Borrego...
I have 70k miles living out of my ā23 ER Lariat here in Borrego Springs for now. Unfortunately I pull a 6.5x6.5x12ā v/nose cargo trailer to live in. 1.0 m/kWh from about 2.1 without.
Would love to trade notes sometime.
If you find a Ford dealer with even decent EV service, let me know. None in CA that I have experienced. None in Southern Oregon either. Bought mine in Los Angeles.
By far, the worst treatment I have received just trying to keep the warranty happy. I canāt get 10k mile services. Iāve been unable...
Samesies. March 2 ordered. No word from Frod. 65,000 miles since April ā23. Regular, long, and horrible trips relying on EA. Next one starts the 15th. I pull a trailer and get 1 m/kWh. So I try to get 80 or so miles between 30 minute charges. It takes 28 hours to travel what always took 14...
Ordered March 02. Have been told mine would ship āthis monthā three (?) months in a Fg row. Iāve done twenty! 2,500! Mile trips since April ā23. One trip from L.A. to Boston, MA, to bring a boat back to L.A.
Being told Iāll get my adapter is just acid on a wound.
I feel ya brother. Well articulated. Timing is a tough thing though. I canāt go back to diesel, and way too $$$ to just keep updating with new EV truck(s).
Iām at 60k in 18mos.
