I live in Iowa. last night we had the super cold freeze come through. Truck went on the charger at midnight (outside) and when I left for work at 8:00, it was only 74% charged. Yes, it was -10 degrees. I was at 30%.
I'm just saying had I needed to commute a longer distance, this would of...
I don't use half the "advanced" features int he truck. Most are annoying and I turned them off. Now, if Ford offered a good lease extension, I would consider that. Got 2 years before i have to worry about that. Will keep monitoring this forum.

This morning on my way to work, I was stopped at a light and a Rivian pulled up next to me. He looked over and had a stupid grin on his face. Normally I am proud to drive the Lightning, but the truth be told, I felt a little wave of embarrassment flood over me. Like I was driving a flop of a...
Just because " Ford lost around $200K on each Lightning" doesn't means they will be very collectable.
Not like I'm gonna put my Flash on Market Place for $272,000
Look at the industries you mentioned. Farming, good luck without them. Food chain collapses. HVAC, every fricking building in America has one. Electric trucks?? Who needs then, just the minorities in this group.
