Mileage.

I would think not! especially since it's additional weight plus/minus the aerodynamic gainz , and that does not include the additional payload (driver, spouse, children, pets, etc.)

But be sure to watch the video anyway

thank you for your service

With your help and maybe a million more Lightnings sold the dream can be real the first step starts with you be sure to watch and let me know what you think

Best thing is that it doesn't hurt you much at all range wise. Like the video says, make the decision based on if you want one, not range. The picture I use to the left is one of the ~3 days my truck spent tonneau-less right after purchase.

I did two 140 mile loops one with the Tonneau on and then with it off. The mi/kWh and energy used was almost identical. Be sure to check it out

Yeah it really is about protecting gear from the weather and people. It was interesting the Ford engineer said they showed it made a difference with a gas F150 in a wind tunnel though

MythBusters and others have shown years ago that tonneau covers don't add range. Ford designed the modern F-150 tailgate to make it even more efficient. This has been debated ad nauseum on truck forums for years and years. Nothing new here.

Be sure to watch it I have Adam from Mythbusters in a clip explaining the why it shouldn’t make a difference but a literal Ford engineer saying it did in a wind tunnel test with a gas F150. Nobody I’ve seen has done an actual test in the Lightning so I did. Real world testing with the actual truck is always better IMO
