Typical day drive is 20-30 miles., We also drive 215 miles 2-3 times per month, sometimes in sub zero temps.
Then you should have no problem with the single 48 amp OBC, that opens up the opportunity to go Flash in my opinion.

I’d be surprised if the flash really is about the same price. It’s MSRP is like 10k over the fleet ER pro

Hi All,

I could use your input to help deciding between these 3 options. I have to say I'm attracted to the Pro because I prefer knobs over a touch screen for heating/cooling, etc. I will tow building materials over one season but then would probably not have much of a need for towing over the long term. The main features I need are the ER battery and Pro power. Not sure if I'd benefit from having a dual on board charger, but is that nicer to have than the options in number 2 below? Are the prices listed good or should I try to negotiate more? The prices include taxes and fees and take into consideration any rebates, discounts and the EV tax credit.

1. Fleet 2024 Pro ER for $58k out the door
  • Dual on board charger
  • pro power onboard 9.6 kw
  • Max trailer tow package
2. Fleet 2024 Pro ER for $59k out the door
  • Single charger
  • Tow Technology package
  • Pro power onboard 9.6 kw
  • Max Trailer tow package
  • mobile power cord
  • backup alarm system
3. 2024 Flash for about the same price, still waiting on final numbers.
Flash I bought a lariat, wishing it was the flash

Well, I just happen to be the person that purchased a pro in May 24 and upgraded to a Flash in September.

Both needed to have the tow package and pro power. Both have bed liner, tailgate
Step.

The only practical non advantage of the dual charge pro is the ability to charge from driver or passenger side. Still wish the pro would have had it standard as it had dual charge doors, until you figured out all show and no go. Big mistake in my opinion. Like they designed it that way and needed to cut corners for price.

Flash er battery , more horsepower. Blue cruise, with adaptive cruise control.
Truthfully I do like the smaller screen of the pro, but that’s about it. The flash is the way to go. Especially if you get a 72k flash for the price you’re describing.

The faux door on the right has NEVER had a charging port, the DUAL refer to the onboard charge controllers in early ER's vs MY24+
