What a fun weekend! Texas highway speeds are wild. My one suggestion is to always try to use the Supercharger stall farthest to the right if you can, that way you reduce the chances that more than one stall gets blocked. Hope to see more road trip adventures!

Nice video you guys, I bought my 23 prem with just under 5k on it, I really like this car. I'm retired and this is the first time in forever that I haven't had a truck and it's also my 2nd ford, my first one was a 68 mustang that I bought for 800.00 when it was like 3 years old

Just bought one last week and already scared to go on long trips. Also it’s expensive at $ 0.64/kwh. $64 to go 200 miles.

There’s a tesla super charger in Corpus Christi. Maybe 12 stalls by chik fil a. It’s been reported that lightnings/tivians/mach e’s have charged there

is it actually waterproof? i need somthing that will protect my laptop from rain.

tysmmm

I'm a Lightning owner, and I love it . What's your wheel and tires spec? I love how it looks. Thanks

Thanks for the video!

We have 22,000 miles on our Lightning & we’ve never had to get an oil change🎉🎉🎉🎉

I just got my Ford Lighting over a Tesla. Love the car but man does Tesla have charing locked down. Better than anyone else out there.

That is an AWD. Great video though.😊

Thank you for the review! I just got the sling bag/backpack as an add-on to my travel backpack, which is also from Lovevook. It‘s the perfect combination for weekend trips using public transport, in my opinion: The travel backpack can either go in the luggage rack or under the seat while the sling bag/backpack stays with me. I can wear it as a sling bag while travelling to my destination, and once I‘m there, I can use it as a backpack as I stroll around to visit museums and the like. It‘s one of very few sling bags I found that can fit an 11“ tablet, which is what I was looking for because I want to have the option to take it with me as I stroll around.

If that’s the X then it has AWD not rear drive.

great review, i would consider the mach-e but lack of ventilated seats has drop them off my list...

Does the colour get dirty easily?

yeah,breathtaking . have a good day-😇

My thoughts exactly on political crap. Screw the people who think all of that. I’m a VET I’ll do what I want. I like the technology. Not going to the gas station and dropping $75 for a half tank (36 gallon). We have a ICE SUV for long trips.

Great Q&A on the Lightning. After 2 years I average 2.4 mi / kWh but in California that’s a bit easier with the weather and heavy commute traffic. The reason there is no eco mode is that the motors are permanent magnetic. They would need a clutch disconnect or an induction motor for an eco mode. Unfortunately there won’t be a way to make that better with an OTA. For Tesla Charging, the V2 are the older 150kw chargers and are not CCS. The V3 that we have access to, are 250kw and have to have been updated to support CCS and have a meter installed for billing so that’s why most but not all are open to us atm. The 24 models do have the heat pump btw. Keep em coming 👍

This is a great illustration of knuckleheads grossly overpaying for these EV vehicles. These EV vehicles are now losing value as quickly as these inadequate batteries are discharging. Can anyone imagine searching for a charging station and delaying your journey for an hour each stop and then praying to God that another charging station is within range and if so, are the stations available. Certainly no way to travel-no way to live. Again, these sheeple deserve all the frustration and devaluation derived from this vehicle-BAA BAA.

Great Q&A! Not sure if it’s been answered but, do you find the leveling kit affects the BlueCruise?

Hi! Do you have links?

Great video, I've noticed from experience with my lightning that if I wanted to get closer to the 320 estimated range for just HWY driving alone I would have to drive 65MPH in ideal conditions, if I wanted to over exceed then I would have to drive 60MPH. Obviously I know people don't want to drive the speed limit or slower than the speed limit. But the faster you go, the more your range Dips. At 70MPH I range from 1.8 - 2.0 miles per KWH.

Thanks for the vid, Im wanting a extended range F150 and I current live in CC... I dont travel much, but Id like to travel to SA...that Three Rivers charger was the one I planned to use. Sadly, it seems traveling would be a bit rough unless you stop at that Beeville location to top it off. I think the Beeville charger isn't available 24/7 either. There is hope though, I read online they're gonna build another charging location between CC and SA. Hopefully, thatll be soon. Is yalls lightning an extended range? Im assuming it is. Is it worth getting, or, is there just not enough charging stations in TX yet?

Nice video guys! You covered some very important information. I really like how you set up your lightning. Nice wheels! White on black. That storm trooper look! Thanks for mentioning me. If you don’t mind subscribing and let’s stay in touch. I have been driving EVs since 2017. I started with a gen 1 used 2014 Chevy Volt then went to a gen 2 2016 Volt. Then I purchased my wife a used 2014 Model S performance with the free super charging for life. Then i purchased a 2018 rwd Tesla Model 3 for myself. I put a 100k miles in a year and a half. I now have a very efficient 2023 Chevy Bolt 2LT. I have saved 1000s over the years. Keep up the good work !

👍

Nice. I need to test out my a2z tesla supercharger adapter. I love my truck.

I would like to say thanks for the video. But I would like to ask if the Texas heat has had any impact on battery performance or range?

I did a 300+ video with my lightning ER and its just an inconvenience for me trying to charge. I rent a vehicle when doing road trips.great video

Also what efficiency are you getting with that setup? Like what’s you’re average Miles/kWh?

If you see “150 kW” at a Tesla charger, it’s a v2 station. Only v3 stations are compatible and they’ll be listed as 250kW.

What type of wheel and tire setup do you have? The other mods look great also. Thanks

Tesla stations need to be the 250Kw+ super chargers for non Teslas. Honestly would be nice just to open all of them up. Imagine going to a gas station and it saying it only works for the Chevy brand.

I stress over running low on gas. Man I think I’d have a stroke if this were me 😂

Thanks for the info! God bless and safe travels! I am in Northeast TX . We travel to Sea Drift where we have a little fishing house and love to visit Port Aransas every year.

Would you mind posting links to the rims and tires you put on that and if they affected your range much? I have a premium and do not like the rims - yours look great.

You guys need to talk just a little louder , I have my volume up pretty high and its hard to hear

British traveller next

Love the simplicity of the video just showing what the bag offers 😊 Unlike other peoples videos that spend 20 minutes blathering about everything under the sun. Now I know I that I want to purchase this bag 😊

Thank you so much, for opening all the pockets, and the front. It was nice to see how deep, and roomy, everything was. I bought a LoveVook backpack, a year ago, I didn’t like it. Cause the top opening didn’t open, wide enough that was annoying. I think I feel confident in getting another one, but a different style. Thanks to this video. 😊

Thanks for sharing. I just bought one black. Has it held up?

I'm looking at Kono so this was very helpful, thank you Gin.

This was super helpful. Thanks for uploading
