Sheesh this thread on a fun topic quickly turned into a total bummer.
Congrats of the Lightning! That thing looks awesome. Too big for our needs but if they come up with Lightning Ranger or maybe Lightning Bronco I would give it a consideration. Would be great to have it as a battery backup for the home given how brittle the grid is here in TX. Might even give me reason to put in some solar.
And I'm with @nuclearn8 Lets see some pics. Also any plans to get it installed as battery back up for the home? Let us know how it goes.
I am excited for you. I find the F150 Lighting to be the most exciting EV since the original Tesla model S. I still have my grandfathers OSB F150 and the lighting is the first truck to really tempt me to replace it. Until they make a standard cab with an 8' bed it is safe, but if I needed my truck to be a DD I cannot think of a better vehicle than the Lighting... at least until the Avalanche, I mean Silverado EV with midgate comes out.
Saw this one last night. The grill caught my eye as it is a bit odd looking. The aero touches really mute the appearance. It needs a lift and real tires. This was a base model. I like the new electric Silverado more.
Rear 3/4 view. Needs lift kit and better tires. Front view. Grill is unusual looking.
I really wanted to love the Platinum but this should really be an eye opener for those looking to replace a fossil fuel sipper with an EV. For 92k you can drive under 100 miles to go camping on a full charge with the biggest battery:
Knowing this administration, EPA, and the IRS, they will tax through electric power consumption on top of existing fuel taxes. Then there will be a global carbon tax.
