Drive @ 75 mpg in a gas vehicle and you won't get the EPA range estimate either.

Dont like that the 25 models dont have the smart scales.

Do you know if the decals are removable? Doesn't seem like you can build one without them

Picked up this trim and love the drive. The doors don’t always automatically lock when you walk away so I have to be careful.

You are not saving money. It all has to be paid in cash

Good video. 320 miles of range is absolutely achievable in the Lightning with extended range battery. I’ve exceeded 320 several times. Like ICE vehicles, there are numerous factors that affect the range so you definitely won’t see 320 miles in all conditions, but it is not a specious claim by any stretch. It comes down to consumer education. EVs are opposite of ICE vehicles when it comes to range on the highway vs city. If I charge my Lightning to 100%, and only drive city, in nice weather, and don’t leave it sitting with AC running for too many hours, and run it right down to zero, I have seen mine do 350+ miles. Highway however, driving at 70 mph, in good weather and road conditions, it won’t go much further than 300. And given that charging stations are not every 5 miles yet, you really have to plan around 275 miles as your max range in good conditions.

Just a heads up to those of you that own this truck or thinking of getting this truck. In Canada each province is different in BC we range anywhere between 24 cent a kWh to 60 cent a kWh depends where you go. And in Alberta it ranges from 44 cents a kWh to 91 cents a kWh. Lower mainland we are cheaper then interior bc. However BC hydro chargers seem to stay the same 34 cents a kWh

Let me give you a trick with the range: set it up to sport and turn off the pro power on board and you will get even more than 320. It’s crazy! I heard that didn’t believe it but then tried it and it’s real

So sporty!..

Distraction crazy, Unique?

Don't want, 2 more?

Let?

H, though?

1 -/through 40?.. Out of 66?

The M word?, What about, w/W?

12..📱🏉

Maybe 1/25?

Cost to buy: $63 Grand, To upgrade: ?

Jalen & 8..(?)

Do-To(e), be in a good #?

Absolutely love this review. I am currently a Mach-E owner but I need a vehicle that will give me more space. Would you say the Lightning is the way to go?!?!?

Do you have a link for your front splash guard? Thanks !

I just got one. How do I get the Tesla NACS adapter? I hear it's free! The speed on this thing is ridiculous. You can quickly go over the speed limit without realizing it. I was on I94 and caught myself doing 90 because I was on the phone. I was used to the engine rev feedback to gauge my speed, but this is so quiet. As a first-time owner, I need a better way to let you know what you need, such as a home fast charger, which requires an electrician to get a 240V in the garage. I am not clear on how to get the NACS adapter.

Why u chose Flash over Lariat

I'm buying one of these for my work truck. I had a Maverick and just wanted more vehicle. We have an EV9 GT line for our family vehicle so this just makes sense.

I never never seen one of those going down the road with a Payload or trailer. Trucks that truck.

I'm concerned about usage during the winter. Also, I am concerned about charging it. I'm wondering how badly it would affect my electric bill

Love my lightning. Hate the frunk. It’s slow and awkward to open and close. I rather have it manually operated.

thats because i have a standard range that i can get my 240 range some times better a lot depends how u drive it

why does everyone act like they're a host on a game show when they show vehicles lol

As a commuter with an ev, I disagree with your point about commuting. 60 miles in 1 day is not far for any EV on the market. I'm happy for you that you are able to have this truck even tho you don't need a vehicle to get to work. But commuters are the people who stand to benefit from an EV.

Idk man, I have had mine since April and not once have I found myself waiting for it to charge. I kinda just plug it into the power outlet before I go in the house and have never had a problem. There's electricity pretty much everywhere nowadays.

ok, I'll buy a carbonized gray raptor r

How quiet is the cabin? Esp on highway?

If u had the chance to upgrade to a platinum for say $7.5 more would you

The EV range is the same as MPG. You never get what’s promised. I have a 2023 F150 Lightening XLT and I love it!! It’s my daily driver & I charge once every 2 weeks at home, while I sleep. It rides fantastic, the A/C blows super cold and it’s fast. I’ve had an Explorer, an Expedition & 4 gas F150’s. By far, my Lightening is my favorite.

All 2024 Lightning trims come with the heat pump? If that’s true, I’m wondering if the standard range will actually see an improvement. I definitely have to consider winter temps in Iowa and need to park outside garage…just a lot of factors

I commute 100 miles a day in ruralandia. No freeways, no traffic, just beat up roads. The LT Lariat ER charges at home, nails the 310 mile range estimate Mar-Oct except for Nov-Feb when it drops to 270 due to lower temps, greater headwinds, wet roads. Not all of us live along 75-80 mph freeways. Best truck I’ve ever had. Out pull my ‘99 7.3 SD. Like driving a Lincoln on steroids. Wife prefers it to all others. Pulls my boat, cargo, trailer @ hauls ass. Power at $.063/kwh saves me $5K net per year over gas. Also, your Flash review is pretty good. The new ‘25 prices turns our LT ER into a $100K truck 😳 equal to 4 Mavericks. Came within inches of a Mav hybrid. purchase in ‘22. The EVs are just too expensive and w/o charge at home.. hard to justify as DCFC charging is $$$.

Ford says it’s an 80k pickup truck. You agreed with them. They like people like you. Even 50k is too much in my opinion. Nice EV truck, but still crazy prices for trucks in general.

Do you need to visit a dealership for software updates?

This is the ultimate sleeper daily driver. There is no better vehicle on the road for that purpose. Imo. It's also insanely quiet and smooth to the point that my wife will not drive other vehicles. When she rides in other people's vehicles she now feels like there's always problems with them cuz they're so loud and noisy.

They don't get the EPA range at 75 mph. That's gaslighting. Of course they don't get the EPA range at 75 mph. The mileage on my 2018 3.5L EcoBoost is within the margin of error when compared to the test parameters, but if am at 75 mph, my mileage drops dramatically.

I’m not defending the accuracy of mileage estimates, but wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s ‘deception’, a 75mph test for EV mileage is a test based on the exact opposite of EV benefits. Most drivers statistically don’t spent the day on the highway at 75 continually, some do most don’t. That’s the worst test scenario for any EV brand, EV’s get their ideal mileage performance in the city for stop and go around town (80% of driver use case). I found this as a surprise as it’s the reverse of ICE performance. Not picking a fight or saying that’s not true, but it’s not deceptive knowing how and when an EV is most effective.

Im looking at possibly getting a 2024 flash, and this video is helping me make this decision. I live in "Bring Cash" BC where theres insane taxes and fees and fuel proces aren't friendly, so part of the reqson im considering this. For me to drive up to kelown and back is about 250 to 300 just in gas in my raptor, so this could help with that and the trips. I'd just have to get used to stopping and charging.

Not impressed

whats the range on the Flash?

What happen ed to the financials? What made this a good deal? You get the $7500 in the spot during the lease and what other incentives? Not paying more than 80% of the msrp that's for sure. These depreciate too fast.

You’re right that it could be considered deceptive to only quote one range, but I think we need to get off of range estimates entirely and start quoting efficiency, in both city and highway, just like ICE vehicles. The problem is the single range estimate is a combined city/highway, and EVs are more efficient in city slow and stop/go situations. At worst, if we’re going to stick with range estimates, we need to get both the city and highway estimates.

Great commentary and self-awareness, better than most channels I’ve seen. Really good review

Your just like who i figured bought a lightening. Govt worker/ teacher. Reg citizens cant afford the lightening. Plus you have tine to charge it. Real american dont have time to wait to use it again while it charges
