If you’re limiting yourself to those two options, Pebble is the way to go. CyberLandr seems cool, but the first time you need to use your vault and can’t do it because it’s in the back, well, you’ll be frustrated. Unless your truck is truly becoming your home. There’s a lot to like with the...

I am really impressed with overall efficiency of the truck. It’s obviously using more than an S, 3, X or Y, but relative to stated range, it’s performing at or above. I have ~1500 miles now and if you take out towing, I’m running sub-400. Mix of highway and city miles. And transparently, not...

I think you’ll be able to meet or get close to your drive/charge goals. I think for my trip to CO that I’ll be able to do that too at most charging locations. Not 600Wh/mi, but trying not to go above 90%. That’s when you get killed on the charging time.

Two male ends. The cable I ordered had one unfinished end and one male end. I ordered another male component on Amazon and attached the connectors.

I don’t know anything about your taste or camping intentions but those Basecamps look amazing. The one thing that’s a detractor for me is the combined toilet/shower. The basecamps are certainly more ruggedized. Maybe slightly more aerodynamic and definitely lighter.

I’m not too worried about that. It would be nice if auto steer would work to stay in the lanes. But even if not, I’m not worried about that part. The tow experience is just very very easy with this truck. There are still desperately needed UI/software updates—e.g., hitch assist/zoom in on rear...

Today I was watching CNBC and they were talking about how Ford loses $100k per EV. Think about that for the current price points. I hear and get the bitterness but the reality is Tesla is a profitable venture. Not the case for the other guys. So, sure 4.5 years ago that was the thought for the...

I’m really excited to see the results of towing up to Colorado this summer. No longer worried about it. I’ll use my little spreadsheet calculator to run some efficiency target calculations as I’m charging. One other thing I forgot to include is that the vehicle Energy app does an incredible job...

I honestly can’t remember. I’ve had it phantom brake before on the North Tollway. I don’t think it phantom braked this past weekend. I use a lot of cruise control and haven’t noticed it A ton. Don’t get me wrong, it’s annoying when it does it and certainly more buggy than FSD on my M3.

Unfortunately my dogbone doesn’t work with the mobile charger. I was at a 30A site and I didn’t have the 30A plug. If I had been at a 50A site, then yes, the 14-50 would have worked just fine.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking about. Do you mean while on cruise control and phantom braking? Or something else? One thing I failed to mention in the initial post is that the one pedal driving is absolutely incredible. As is the trailer brake (Though it was never used). The...

My guess is it was more about their speed (and maybe inclination to some degree) than anything about the trailer. I think the Airstream helps, but make no mistake, if you try to drive 75 down the freeway, your efficiency is going to get hit some.

I’ve always said, EVs aren’t for everyone and I’m good with that. I really think there’s a fundamental flaw in your statement. For you, it might be the case. But not everyone.

For Mother’s Day weekend, we took the truck and Airstream to a local Airstream RV resort—The Range Vintage Trailer Resort. From where I store our camper, it was an exact 100 miles round trip. I have an AWD CT and a 25’ Airstream that weighs 7300lb fully loaded. Trip was a 100-150’ drop in...

Sorry to hear. Hopefully not a super expensive panel replacement (assuming color matches with new wrap). I’m towing with mine this weekend and yesterday I made a turn backing in and had to pause and catch my breath because I thought I was going to do the same thing. More worried about tearing...

X-Press-O, this is the key. Keep records. Take photographs or tire rotation at 12/31 so you have good docs in case audit. Do that and you’ll be fine.

Did the stainless bend at all? Or just damaged the wrap?

I have not been able to see mine anywhere.

How much drying do you have to do afterwards? I know water gets trapped in some crevices (side view mirrors, trim, etc.) and will leave water streaks if not dried completely. Do you wipe fingerprints off before or after going through?

That might have been after taking into account fuel and other savings?
