The guy did get back to me. He has a local offer pending. He had to replace a battery module at 20k kms, had to replace the air conditioning (?), a brake caliper, and the rear bumper from backing into a tree. Ford extended the HV battery warranty to 10years/200k kms. Sounds like it probably...
Seller not responding, Iāve got no time for nonsense. Maybe it sold, but ad still up. Well, plenty of options for a buyer with no timeline and I assume prices will trickle even lower as time goes by. Thanks for all the input!
Well, so far no response from the seller. As far as the market goes, it is the lowest priced XLT ER that Iāve seen anywhere in Canada; even given the relatively higher mileage either it is a good deal or there is a backstory. I could get a new ā25 standard range XLT in mid 60ās, a ā23 used...
that sounds like it has been a terrible experience. I hope that at a slightly higher mileage, issues relating to build quality might have already shown themselves. I did take a Silverado EV out twice for a test drive. I tried to love it. The range is phenomenal, but thatās it. I hated the drive...
Iāve been looking at these trucks since the beginning, never bit the bullet to buy one, just too pricey for me here in Canada. Now the used prices are coming down. Iām looking again. I found an ad for a private sale, for a 2022 silver XLT ER, in Canada Includes the 312 package and has max tow...
Thanks for all the input. I did speak with the sales manager yesterday, really they couldn't be less interested in selling me a vehicle and were not interested in giving me a reasonable price. What they are asking isn't a whole lot less than a new Flash which makes that a no-brainer. Plus...
So, still have the Lightning bug. In browsing around, I found a dealer in rural western Canada that somehow appears to have 2 unsold 2023 Lightning XLT ER's still on their lot. Although they don't have a heat pump, they have the 312 package that have the faster onboard chargers, etc. They...
Agree, canāt compare to a half ton. What I realized is that I donāt need a half ton. Whether a Ridgeline is a truck in the eyes of other truck owners means zero to me. It does all the truck stuff I need it to. It does look a little dorky. āMiles ahead in all aspectsā, maybe or maybe not...
I spent the past couple of years trying to justify replacing my ā18 Ridgeline with a Lightning. Mainly because I was excited by the idea of something new and a first EV. I took a cooling off period for a few months and am glad I did, because I love my Ridgeline more the longer I have it. It is...
I know for some pre-2021 Teslas to use other brand CCS chargers, some needed a hardware upgrade for compatibility. Doesnāt seem crazy that they could reverse engineer an adaptor to make it work backwards. But wishful thinking and clearly more complicated than that
Simplistic question, I know, and yes, I have used the search button on the forum. But at a very simple level, if a Tesla can differentiate between the different types of superchargers, and adapt to different protocol or handshake to recognize and accept a charge from them, Then, what is the...
I spoke to Granger last month when I was Lightning shopping. Theyāll sell to Canadians if you have a US address you can use. Apparently the warranty is applied immediately to your vehicle and you can see confirmation in the app? Valid in Canada and US. I have a US drop box, and I notified my...
Right now for a ā24 in Canada, thereās not much savings going for a Pro over an XLT. The XLT is eligible for the āford employee pricingā promotion with about $6500 off MSRP, there is minimal to no discount on Pro. If you go standard range, then you also get $5000 off for the federal iZev...
If I were you, I'd keep the Powerboost and get a cheap Bolt or Leaf, or a very used Prius to do the commute. You'd be way ahead $-wise. Trading an already expensive vehicle to buy a rapidly-depreciating EV truck is not going to offset any gas savings. That said, if you really want a...
Thanks for everybody who chimed in with their experiences. Good to hear lots of positive experiences on here along with some of the bad. After thinking it through, I am going to sit on the fence for a while longer I think and see how the EV landscape shakes out next couple of years. As...
