I agree! Yeah trailers are a pain, I have one property that is off a major road and it was much easier with a truck vs towing a trailer there but hopefully I’m done with the renovations/workload there. Good luck with your lightning, at the price you got it for it’s a no brainer, I was in a...

My wife doesn’t care about cars, she wants more properties which is the smart thing but you have to live a little too. I definitely want an EV as a daily, but if I’m getting a weekend car I want something that has a nice exhaust note, but that typically means high maintenance costs haha...

Lightning definitely makes sense and the model 3 going. The i8 is a bumpy ride? I couldn’t imagine having pools with rentals! Insurance through the roof? You must be down south I’m assuming? I’ve been considering a gen 1 R8 (dual clutch though) or possibly some Ferrari with a backseat for my...

Makes sense, I liked the back up power issue but I honestly never used it. I thought I would more. We mainly have Airbnb’s so the utilities are already in our name, only a couple long term rentals but they have friends in them so no worries on the utilities. What year was your tesla? Mine was a...

You had that issue with your tesla and PAAK? I never had a single issue with mine, or as someone else mentioned the soundproofing. Mine was quiet, rode smooth, well built, zero issues. I only sold it to get the lightning because of how useful trucks are especially having rental properties/flips...

I don’t think people are selling them because their financial situation has changed. I don’t fall under that category, but I am selling because I see my specific lightning absolutely tanking in value, my specific needs have changed as well (bought a bigger boat than originally planned so I need...

Hopefully they did fix issues for 2023, that’s why I think my 2022 will depreciate horribly. In the warmer weather, I am getting good city range, but the winter was horrible, highway hasn’t been great and towing really kills it more than the tesla I had. I’m sure ford will make some good...

You got a very good deal then. I can see my model depreciating like a rock. As far as my specific vehicle, tech aside, tesla was still better, especially with the motors/drivetrain, it’s so smooth compared to Ford, every incline or decline the lightning is very jerky stopping/starting/slow...

I had a tesla before the lightning and I think that tesla is way ahead of ford as far as EV’s go. I’m not a Tesla musk fanboy by anymeans, they are also freakin everywhere but my tesla was such a great car (Model Y) and this lightning has not been. I did buy the first year model though and Tesla...

Already got my tax credit, truck was 75k out the door (has blue cruise option). I’m getting roughly 64k for it 6 months later. I’m moving to another vehicle that I won’t be happy with but it’s half the price until something new comes out that I will be happy with (cybertruck).

I planned to keep it for at least 2 years but I’m not happy at all with it, especially for the price, and I’m worried it will (my spec at least 2022 lariat standard range) absolutely tank.

That is my fear. The odds are against the lightning especially a 2022 lariat standard range to hold well, especially be at or above 50k after 3 years of being on the market. While I am unhappy with the lightning, the leased vehicle isn’t something I’d want either, it all comes down to numbers...

Whatever equity I have in the lightning is my down payment, I’m trading the lightning in, no cash due at signing, so the lightning has to be worth 50k to match this deal. There’s no way I’d keep the lightning past 2 more years, once my cybertruck or Ram Rev is available, I’ll be making that...

Here’s my dilemma, in 2 years my payout will be approximately 42k. I can sell my lightning now and get a lease (GC 4xe) for 24 months at $350/month, my payment is $700 currently. So that’s over 8k savings in 2 years, therefore I’d need the lightning to be worth 50k in 2 years, if it’s less, it’s...

I’m considering getting out of my lightning for several reasons but I’m curious what everyone thinks a 2022 Lightning Lariat Standard range with ford copilot 360 active 2.0 (msrp 72k) will be worth in 2 years? Think above or below 50k? If below which is what I’m thinking, I will be trading my...

Thanks for the results. That looks like it would be pretty aerodynamic behind the truck. I’ve found from towing with electric vehicles that the aerodynamics play more of a factor than weight (to a certain extent). My boat/trailer/motor loaded up is probably closer to 4000lbs and it’s a nearly...

I’m definitely bringing the boat down for the month of June but not positive on the dates just yet, I appreciate it though. Enjoy your new truck!

Unfortunately all the Royal farms chargers are permanently broken it seems. The only ones I see are 6.5kwh chargers.

How do you know it’s a 50kWh charger? That wouldn’t be too terrible as long as I was able to have my boat there too while charging. There’s a charger that’s labeled as a 5.6kWh charger down the street from me in OCMD at the library but it’s really a 50kWh.

It blows my mind there isn’t a fast charger down there. Makes me want to set one up as a business opportunity. The area is heavily traveled and becoming overpopulated down there now, a DC fast charger that isn’t tesla would be a huge success.
