your battery module will fail (...or maybe not...at anywhere from 4%-100%...depending on who you ask)...

I thought this was only on the 22 and 23 versions?

I thought I saw someone on here the other day with a '24 and battery module problem...hopefully I'm not recalling correctly.

So to summarize... The Lightning is the most amazing truck ever, or maybe not.

If the buyer of a Lightning does their research (specifically on this forum) before buying it will 100% be the most amazing vehicle before buying. The only people that dont love the lightning are those that dont research the pros and cons before buying.

I can only speak for myself but it's by far the best and most favourite truck I've ever owned. But in saying that, I've not run into any problems like some have. As the saying goes, most people don't come to a forum to talk about how great things are but as soon as there is a problem, we are right there typing away. Although it's important for people to do their research they also need to take forums such as these with a grain of salt.

Before I bought, I must have spent 2 years watching a thousand YouTube videos of every EV truck out there. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into and so far its exceeded my high expectations. As you said, the only people that don't seem to feel that way are the ones that did not do their research. Is there room for improvement. Oh yeah... But it's still the best truck out there for my use case.
