@JohnathanBach appreciate you watching! When I was still running dealerships I would see these things with 3-400k on them if well maintained (car services going back and forth to NYC). I think you'll make your goal with the maintenance you are performing! Good luck.

@@GrabBagEntertainment except that individual cells fail not the entire battery, and the cells can be repaired for a few thousand. And many evs are over 200k with zero electrical issues. Thanks for watching.

@@geraldineladrillo6039 thank you for watching!

@mr.2cents.846 the funny thing is that I have a new F150 Lightning too, and compared to that the Expedition actually feels a little compact. However even the shorter Expeditions like mine have plenty of room for 7 people and some gear behind them. It's roomy but doesn't feel stupid large to drive.

@iroc341 yes that is correct.

@@jjgreek1 i paid less than 50...

@@Thingswithwheels1 I wonder how much I could pick one up with the extended range. I have fast charging at home

@jjgreek1 at the time an ER was about $7k more, now I think you're looking at a "Flash" version to get ER which brings along a lot of other items I didn't want (like a power tailgate).

@mikeseitz2792 that's a great deal! If everything else is in working order that's sure a bargain vs. Buying a new one. Thanks for watching!

@@Thingswithwheels1 200k on the original transmission, still going strong. Keep the filter and fluid clean works!!

@koryleach9660 with that use case you should be in great shape! The torque is just fantastic for towing. I barely felt my Corvette and trailer behind me.

@pulkitsharma7330 thank you for watching!

@brita654 great points and yikes .31kW! In CT we are at 10.9 but with solar we barely draw anything from the grid anyway. Thank you for watching!

@@Mikeg19912 my rule of thumb is to use the lowest level of assistance that I can physically handle. I find it use 1 or 2 quite a bit, rarely go higher except steep hills. I've seen really good range as a result.

@kentd4f69 i haven't had any issues with mine no. But I'm sure you agree that you expect some things to fail at 200k, and if you go another 30-50k without any catastrophic failures you're doing pretty well!

@@kentd4f69 i appreciate you watching! More to come!

@AutisticJared I'm a little bigger than you (height and weight) and I actually went with the Himiway Cruiser for me. While I can ride the Lectric, I prefer the beefier frame, size and power of the Himi. That being said, I really like my wife's step-through Lectric and that's the way I would go if I were looking for a folding e bike. Thank you for watching!

@jeffreyclement3564 haha yeah well I didn't put the Lightning bolts all over it but I'm having a little fun with it.

@@Thingswithwheels1 Well its a nice truck either way. And I can't wait till its both affordable and practical. Or I strike it rich and can get one.

@@loriw2661 Thank you so much for watching

@davidlong1182 show me any used Lightning XLT in the country that is being sold for $27000 and I'll believe you. Problem: you can't as they don't depreciate that hard from what I paid. My truck MSRP was just under $59k and I paid $46k brand new. In effect I saved much of the depreciation right out of the gate but thank you for watching.

@@mrstanbmw I always do. Thanks for watching!

@leonardorocoso9049 yes they continue to be great. We use the Jeep as a spare vehicle but it's accumulated several thousand miles and these are wearing well and are fantastic in wet and dry conditions.

@camomaster6316 yes we have done 2 2000+ mile road trips on these and they are still doing fine. In total I've put about 10000 miles on them and they have worn well. I expect they will make it 40k miles or so based upon how they look currently.

@jasoncolemanarizonaloanoff1574 totally understand your points. It's not for everyone. I paid $46k for a brand new F150 with heated seats and navigation that goes 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. A gas version would have run me nearly $10k more at time of purchase if equipped identically. It gets the equivalent of 60 mpg to roughly 20 mpg in the gas truck, and I can charge it at home with the convenience of leaving the house full every day. Would I drive it to Montana? Nope. But I don't need it for that. And btw the way a fill up at a Tesla supercharger (which Fords can use) usually takes around 20 minutes. I respect everyone's opinion but it appears perhaps some of the misinformation in the media about evs made it to you. Evs aren't for everyone and if you don't want one please ignore them. Have a fantastic day and thank you so much for watching.

@@Thingswithwheels1 This year we made it from AZ to Oregon and back. We frequently travel 120 miles each way to camp. I see these trucks still listed at 80k. I also see ice trucks up there too. Rediculous...46k is a rippin deal!

@jasoncolemanarizonaloanoff1574 I appreciate that thank you. I really enjoy it but I know it's not for everybody. And I love my fossil fuels too! I own a Wrangler, Corvette and an Expedition too! Have a good day.

No Electric is not 100% clean. But in my local (Metro West in Mass)I have the ability to use the regular electricity which is listed as 50-60% renewable or I can pay couple cents more per kw for 80% renewable. Thats pretty clean. depends on where you live. There are many reasons to consider an EV. Financial being #1. Environment #2. Could be vise versa but then you are attacked. I think it opens the market to more freedom of choice at this point also. So many people claim they are already being forced to buy EV. WRONG!! Not yet. And when we are forced at some point YEARS down the road I bet all the nay sayers will be YAY sayers by that time with technological advancements eclipsing gas cars massively. The gas car will be like a horse grazing in the field thankful it can just take it easy now lol

@@brita654 Environment? How are batteriee made for electric vehicles ? Is it by digging and mining? Using slave labor and gasoline? Where do dead batteries go? Recycled? Can you recycle lythium batteries? What is the replacement cost right now for that bank of batteries? How much more are tires for the Tesla than even a Corvette? What blows my mind is how China is producing super cheap electric cars right now vs usa.

@moth450 I have not specifically tested that. I can tell you that I prefer not to charge frequently as I believe it adds heat and stress to the battery every time they are cycled. So my normal routing is to charge to 80% or so and then I try not to plug in until I'm under 40%. I drive several other vehicles so it can be a week or more in between charging. I haven't noticed any falloff from sitting but admittedly I haven't tracked it. This may be good fodder for a future test/video, thank you!

I can tell you that it doesnt chew up energy sitting idle like a gas vehicle. I have seen tests on other channels and the Lightning can sit idle for something like 50 hrs vs a gas vehicle at about 24 hrs.....with the heat on like in a winter stranding situation. So when I go into a grocery store and its hot out I dont hesitate to leave my Lightning "on" with a/c running and doors locked because a/c uses much less than heat. Granted the truck shuts off automatically in 30 minutes but its a good thing.

@brita654 yes! Great for grocery shopping for cold items! And you can extend the climate control time from the app which is so handy!

@moth450 I bought the system 2 years ago for a set price. My payment doesn't change. At that time it provided roughly a $40k savings over the usable lifespan of the system over the then current cost of electricity. Rates for electricity have only gone up since then so I don't really get your point.

@@Thingswithwheels1 you bought a solar set for like what, 65k. So you lost money. No one ever talks about the monthly solar bill. Just " I have a 13 buck light bill." This isn't true. The solar is free installation ( tax payer [you]funded. And you get charged a set price of what 225 to 275 a month? For 25 years.

@moth450 I definitely got a big tax rebate of which a little I funded. 100% right. I figured it was better to benefit from it than not to. But hey if you ultimately want to spend more for your energy overall than I do, by all means I support your right to do so. All the best to you and thank you for watching.

@jamieallen9665 no it needs to remain in for the bike to be "on". Thank you for watching!

@811lily no doubt. For my use case the additional expense just didn't make sense but I'm sure more battery is a great convenience. Thanks for watching!

@kolgya there are a lot of incentives on Lightnings. With the $7500 federal tax credit you should be able to end up with a great deal on a new Lightning

@beoz658 all of them from this generation are 6 lug, I think the corresponding F150s are too. Thanks for watching!
