Hate them or love them. They are the future and eventually all auto dealerships will produce more and more and more of them which will drive the cost down and everybody can afford them. Thank you for your wonderful video and positive outlook on it😮

The rebates on the f-150 lightning are crazy right now. People are getting $15k plus off an ER Lariat which means roughly $65k. That's gotta get it pretty close to a similarly equipped ICE version.

Fun to watch!!! The F250 is a real beast!!

keep the battery between 20 and 80 percent for long life. then you only have 60 percent typical use. but I have never heard of a 250000 mile EV. How do you avoid heat in the summer? I want fast charging to minimize inconvenience which hurts the battery. EVs big weakness is charge times.

I drive an electric vehicle and enjoy it but trying to get any car company to do warranty work that isn’t a recall is extremely difficult.

As soon as this guy started mocking someone else's voice I lost all sense of his sincerity.

good info thx

This is like saying a gas powered vehicle can last 300k miles. Sure it can with a new transmission or other major work. The lightning will last 250k, but not without a few battery module swaps during that time

I had a 2024 rental for two months Hated everything about it I bought a Tundra and love it

Charge cycles is another reason they do not want Chinese EV's in the west. Most of them have LFP chemistry batteries. Which are routinely good for 6000-8000 charge cycles to 80% depth of discharge.

Nice balanced review. Too many people looking at it like its junk because it can't do everything perfect. It likely works great for the majority of truck users. If you can charge at home, don't tow really heavy stuff a long way, and don't do a tonne of long distance travel, this vehicle is amazing. And even the 'long distance' is fine if you're not in a hurry .

compare to Tesla or Rivian this is dump of shit

Bro fast charging heat is not that big of a factor

Must be nice to pay only 14 cents/Kw! I'm paying 25 cents/Kw here at home in the North East.

Great video! I do the same, I set my truck (Sierra EV) to charge just to 65% each day, which gives me a bit over 300 miles. Plenty for even an unexpected trip out of town. I’m amazed by some of the comments. People with no experience with these vehicles are certain they’re bad, based on reasons that all of us using them can verify are untrue.

This video makes me want a gas motor that much more

its not about replacing the battery when its dead, its having to replace because you tank is only 150 miles after 7 years

Look fantastic, but my only question is how long battery last which in my opinion will be a reason why I will not use an electric vehicle now, the cost of change a damage battery or not working battery is like buying a new car. I definitely keep gas car for now until the industry make less expensive batteries or a different technology.

Crazy. I just bought a 24 Flash today not knowing it didn’t come with “phone as key” or a garage door opener. Mind is blown that those 2 options aren’t standard. Traded in my Mach E GTPE. Disappointed to say the least but other than that the truck is amazing.

That’s good info about the cooling of the battery before charging. Never thought about that thank you sir.

7 dollars a gallon up here in the Peoples Republic of Canada too.

What is the operating cost for the Lightning if you don't have off street parking and must use public charging, both Level 2 and DCFC?

When you buy a house, do you ask how much it cost to replace the foundation? When you buy a ICE vehicle, do you ask how much it cost to replace the engine? This argument about cost to replace the battery when buying a new EV is completely retarded and irrelevant. You're worrying about something that happens less than 0.1% of the time. Of course, you think it happens more frequent because every time it does, someone posts it on the internet, but for the other 500 000 EV owners for that 1 that needed a new battery love their vehicle. So no, replacing a battery is not a thing we worry about. Might as well worry about getting hit by an asteroid while you're at it.

Need to add cost of maintenance on the 5.0 oil change etc.........too!!!!!😅

Now that Musk supports Trump, everyone in the South should buy a Tesla...and save the planet

Takes my lightning 13 hours to charge from 40% to a 100% at a medium charger the one at the stations. It takes like 4 days at an outlet an as for rapid chargers i still havent seen one local an i live in nyc. Electric is not for a vehicle ur suing for vacation

He's a typing salesman.

Georgia has 1 cent per kWh from 11 pm to 7 am.

He actually said he doesn't haul things in his truck, he only hauls his kids, so why buy a truck?.

PAID ACTOR

That's exacly my point. I'm driving EV cars for more than a yard ( Kia Niro EV and Tesla Model 3) and dude, I love it. It's not about saying the planet, it's not about saving money: It's all about convenience. I have the FPL Charver witch I pay $30/m and I can charger both cars as mutch I want and it's SO nice to get home, plug the car relax, enjoy family and next morning the car is ready to rock for another 300 miles. It's life changer. My next car gonna be a EV truck and F150 Lightning is on my radar. I'm and IT guy. I have no towing needs carry have stuff all the time, but I want the praticality of a Full Size truck when I need it and that's at least 50% of the truck market-share. In-town people that don't work with it, but whant a big, confort and pratical car to comute and pickup stuff that Cosco and The Home Depot.

I think they are 'ok'. I personally like EVs but the costs are high, insurance is ridiculous, range anxiety on any long trip, and resale is terrible. I still have a 'desire' for one, but can't justify it at this time. They do have great features, great speed/torque, and can save you some serious cash compared to gas in the long run. Glad you like yours!

The thumbs down on the thumbnail is a little misleading.

I just went to see one year old Ford F-150 Lighting here in Finland and the price was around 95 000€. If I would buy new Mercedes-Benz EQE it would be also around 95000€. Mercedes the batterypack is one piece and just head the case the when it touches to ground you might have to pay 50 000€ for replacement, but it as Ford has splitted the batterypack to 9 modules and changing one is only 4400 USD ( here it cannot be much more expensive).

Sitting there on camera 29.95 with the salesmen. Getting is home and 11 months later, 18,000 dollars. Great video. This

yeah I think this is certainly worse case nuclear scenario. So im not inclined to be on board in either truck needing complete replacement. I am on board with both trucks needing component replacements. starter/alternetor/ in ice truck and a battery cell replacement in the e truck. We will see. E-trucks are in their infancy and Battery tech is really also as well as infrastructure. So if youre getting into the Lightning it is with these truths and various myths and other variables. There is one fact though- saving thousands on fuel is real!! I have a Lightning!!

Dude I hope your a salesman cuz you have ability. Good video

rented one for a week, wasn't impressed with the range.

Ranger lightning would have made better sense

I like you, it's fun with you

IT MIGHT BE CHEAP ON FUEL WAIT TILL YOU HAVE CHANGE THE BATTERY

You still got the jump cause he cant drive

In 10 years that battery doesn't cost $35,000.

Nuc-ular. 'Merica.

Get the rivian

If you don't tow why you need a truck?

Hi, I live in Decatur, AL and I’m interested in a Lightning. I was looking at charging stations in AL along I65. If I stopped and charged the truck with the larger battery in Prattville, would I have enough range to make it to Orange Beach and be able to run a couple of errands once I get there, before having to charge?

Junk, what a waste of money 😂 RAM TRX monster is what we want ! 😂

Know if you ever watch this guy, he’s trying to sell Fords.

Just ditched my tesla model s plaid for the lightning flash. I never liked the Rivian nor the Cybertruck and Ford is tried and tested in service, customer service, warranty claims, dealer network etc. Thanks for the videos! Do you have a sunroof? Not sure whats with all those lights on your roof
