Liking my Lightning... 100K mile trucks?

[jetfixr1]

Bc I’m a dumbass and just flat out spelled it wrong. It’s a mental glitch. Like when people used to say O’Biden without hearing it. But that aside. I love this truck and I traded in my dream truck 2017 6.7. Honestly though I would hate it. And I don’t think I would ever buy another ICE vehicle as a daily driver again. It’s been fucking awesome frankly. The white lightning and I have been to figurative war together and it has prevailed stronger and cheaper than my diesel ever did. I strapped 12,000 pounds of stone to it last fall.

How responsive was the truck with all that weight?

Performed exceptionally well. Especially with the amount of miles on the original tires in this pic. I didn’t change them out until 71k. I don’t do many 0-60s as you can tell to get them that far lol. But it pulled it far better than I was expecting it too

This is the reason that I’ll never reach 100k miles. I had a bad module replaced last month at only about 6k miles. I love the truck and initially thought I’d keep it a very long time. But now I have trust issues. I won’t keep it past the warranty period. I envy those who have high miles and no issues.

This is the reason I too want to trade in at the 100k warranty expiration. But i won’t get another one until they add range to the battery. I’ll keep it and wait for more range

that would be a LOT of miles in a few short years since even the first one hit the ground...

but, yes, with over 52,000 miles, in on a long travel trip this week for another 700+ miles over several days to see three sons in N Georgia and far N Alabama and back, I don't see a single degradation of the battery, no issues with any build or equipment or software, and using ProPower to make coffee, power the TV for overnights, electrons to keep the tMobile WIFI box operational, etc., and making good use of Tesla Supercharger locations... all is good.
I still pinch myself with the smoooooooooth easy riding, especially at 70+mph on heavy-traffic interstates... wow! : )

Yup, my thoughts exactly. 49K on my 2022 ER. Runs like a watch and smooth as silk.
