I really, really appreciate all those who tried to help me through this time in my life.
Regretfully, all my searching, interviews, and nearly 90 applications later... nothing firm. So I would need to get rid of the F150L due to the payments being as high as they are. Luckily I am still...
I just found a story about this as well:

I don't want to remove the front trunk, however I wouldn't mind if it was modular in some way. Like if you need the extra range, remove some stuff, and plug it in. If you don't, leave it as it.
Not going to lie, but I have been considering a Tesla as of late. We ended up getting a Chevy Equinox RS EV (from a 2020 Bolt LT) due to the hate of DOGE at that time.
The main problem for me though is what the original OP stated about the resale value. I haven't tracked it, and for 3 years I...
Here is a interesting video from Hank Green on the "The Bizarre Logic of the F-150 Lightning":
What do you all think about it?
This is the AI transcript below… (the YT video was not created by AI). People asked for a AI transcript, so I provided it.
I agree it’s all public opinion based, and if it wasn’t for loosing my job soon I wouldn’t be looking at this. The job market is terrible at the moment, so it’s difficult to predict the future. However I don’t want to make any assumptions or rash predictions to just get another vehicle.
Based...
Given the current amount of depreciation, could you predict what the vehicle will be in X years? I know it’s hard to predict the future, but is there a standardized formula ?
So with the most recent annoucement, I was curious what the resale values of these trucks would be. So I checked a number of sites, and I am shocked....
For reference, my MY is a 2022 and the miles are 38,284.
Car and Driver (dealer website): $35,280–$43,230
Tesla: $38,700

I started my EV journey back in 2016 and as a family we haven’t used gas since 2019 (except for rentals). The F150L has been great and an awesome vehicle. Yes it has it quarks and some issues, but for us it was fine. This announcement is a step backwards IMHO. We are worried about Chinese EVs...
So while on bluecruise on my local highway, I noticed my speedo is off by 1 MPH. I noticed this while I was on Google Maps and its little MPH indicator while in active navigation.
This was also tested on my wife’s Equinox EV and it seems to be right on target.
How can I fix it or is due to me...
How do the dual OBCs work on the truck? Are they load balanced so they share the incoming load (even low amps), or one needs to get at capacity before the other one kicks on?
Its issue like this that set back the use of alternative technologies. If the battery manufacturer was the one with the issues, they should pay for these recalls.
I just added some pictures. This was fun, and we (wife and kids) enjoyed this outing. Too bad I found out I had a dent on the top of my frunk, but I hope to get that taken care of soon.
