[QUOTE="Rocketir, post: 16624623, member: 178806"] I have a Tesla Y at home as well as the GT500. Its a blast to drive. Lots of torque. I image the Lightning will be able to tow what ever you hook. Stopping will be the limiting factor as always. I have a lvl 2 (32A) charger at home. Its never a problem having a full tank at the start of the day. I have driven this thing all the western states. Even took it to Zion for the weekend. Yes stopping every couple of hours adds time, but for me was a more relaxing trip. You never discharge to 0 and then charge to 100%. Typically its 10% charge up to 60ish% on the road because that is the fastest. It takes forever to charge up to 95-100% when you are not at home due to the battery management settings. It slows down the charge as the battery is at its upper limit. People will be surprised at the mileage hit lower outside temps, speeding and adding a trailer will produce. That is probably something that Ford will have to manage. My observations are strictly from the Tesla, but I think the Lightning will be similar. Don't underestimate the frunk. I really wish they would put this in a short bed regular cab. I love not having any maintence as well. Change the brakes (should last a very long time because of regenerative brakes) and tires. This truck may not be built for the hardcore GC but I think it will meet the needs of the majority I think. EDIT: Forgot to add. I live in Cali and even with the utility bill here, I figure my per mile cost is about a 1/3 of a gas equivalent. But I also have a lot of charging options available. Some are absolutely free.
