    That’s the 12v battery not the power train battery if it’s the article I saw. Don’t give them clicks

    2.4 or so. It may just be the cold and the speed I’m driving but I want the dealer to check it out and get it on record.

    Finally buying a new car

    If I was parking inside it would be fine. But the cable is super thick and I don’t want bugs mice and breezes coming in under the garage door

    Finally buying a new car

    First time charging shitshow: I have the ER lariat. Trip to my parents house is 120 miles, it’s 65 degrees (it’s dark outside and we are wearing sunglasses) should be no problem to round trip for new years I arrive at my parents house having used no heating or AC and used 60% of battery...

    First charging experience was absolute nightmare. Evgo stations cabling are too short to reach the f150 easily. The cabling wouldn’t connect. Had to call the site and they suck balls. Their website and app double suck balls. Finally got it going and this is making it bearable:

    Finally buying a new car

    Well Sunrun jumps to the top of the list of worst companies I have ever dealt with. My panel install is moved to 1/3 so nearly 3 weeks after I get my truck. Stuck charging 2miles per hour so 6 days+ for a full charge. Not taking my truck to nj this weekend now. :( On the plus side…

    With the 2023 pricing it looks like my Long Range F150 Lightning starts above the EV rebate limit :(

    Finally buying a new car

    I had hoped to get a model year one and keep it for life. Those not on that plan may be better with your advice :)

    Finally buying a new car

    I mean I could make a ton of excuses why I haven’t bought an EV or hybrid on market today. I was an edge case in those examples. It’s not something to stress over or rage against.

    The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed. Bruce Sterling. You’re an edge case. There will be many stories like yours and it will be frustrating for a lot of people in your shoes. Eventually things will settle out, but folks like you won’t be early adopters. I imagine...

    sure, SUV hate is a thing I guess. So is general car disdain by a lot of city dwellers. /shrug the whole point of the article is that it’s the beat selling vehicle. Period. Not just truck, it beats all car models too. There will be millions of these on the road and they are indistinguishable...

    Man, as if I wasn’t excited before. Not a super huge fan of the wheels tho. I think I’m going to like the lariat’s blacked out look better.

    Should we start an electric owners thread or keep everything in this one?
