I was expecting

How do you like it?

I have a couple more years before that.
Not sure yet, both got it dead so I need to do a battery swap first. Going with LifePo4 cells so very similiar to the next Gen. Lightning.

Ok… kWh/acre?… charge speed and curve? What about the occasional drunk ride to the 7/11 for a slurpee? Do they even have a destination charger at 7/11?

If I’m drunk I only need to get TO the 7/11. I don’t need to get back. The cops will call the wife and I can charge it in the bed while she drives me back.

Hope ya'll have a Happy Thanksgiving.

A frozen turkey will not defrost in time if you have not yet started. You can NOT buy a fresh Turkey from 7/11. A Turkey sandwich from 7/11 is apparently not an acceptable substitute either. And will let you know if my state allows bow hunting on wild Turkeys...btw anyone close enough to bail me out if needed?

Happy Thanksgiving to the Seven-Eleven crew!!!

You summed it up - this group was nothing but Drama, and whiners - they wrote more posts than any other group around.

It was doomed from the start. To quote @TaxmanHog in post #3.

Looks like this week has turned into the island of misfit toys, several new reassignments will be posting here shortly

I’m somewhere between 7 and 11 broken EA chargers away in SC…so it’ll be a cold night, but just hang tight I’ll be there…

From another Survivor of 7-11 Week, which, as far as my Lightning is concerned, turned out to be a Lucky Number. Almost 12,500 miles and not a Bug in sight. Happy Holidays to All.

It finally happened. After 8 years of EV ownership - as in an EV only household and more than a dozen different EVs. I finally ran out of charge and was left stranded….

The truck said I had 2 miles left…it lied.
It cut power off so heavily that I couldn’t get up this incline.

The charge cord is too short by about 5’ and the incline is enough that I’m not doing well trying to get 7000 lbs moving before it starts rolling backwards.

WOW, that's pushing the limits!!!!

Can you get her to drive in reverse????

Nope. It’ll go in reverse but there’s no power to the motors. There’s not enough power to even prevent it from rolling backwards.

Oh no! I presume the answer is no, but do you have an extension cord and a mobile charger to charge from a 110 outlet to get enough juice to move into the spot?

Nope….

I’ve got tow straps but nobody is around yet. Sitting around on the curb hoping someone will come by. With my luck it’ll be a BMW Isetta
