The article is clear that energy consumption to charge was greater than the charge received / there was a loss of energy in the charge process.

Yep - lightnings use all Tesla chargers in a couple months…

ROFL - $40k+ better than the lightning

Wow - third place!

Ford has promised NACS adapters to anyone who owns a lightning or EV mustang...but, they are taking awhile. However, 2023 and 2024 new vehicles get adapters right away. The 2023s are discounted, because - they've been sitting. And, supply of 2024s should be slow coming as Ford has slowed...

Except - new Lightnings are being sold with NACS adapters / have access to the Tesla SC network. I'm with you - this is a HUGE factor, but Tesla has no differentiation any more. One consideration - the CT will take advantage of 250kw, Lighting only goes 150kw.

I hear you. I need a truck and don't want to deal with gas vehicles anymore. I also agree with the concept of trying a vehicle first and always having exit options ( I go through a car every 2 years or so :)). That's primarily what has me worried. I can see the lightning losing value, but...

Yeah - an x previous, and currently an s p100d ludicrous and a model 3 lr. They are all best in class - and bought them all after about 20-30k miles used. Saved about 30-50% off sticker. just wish this one was somewhere around what was promised after so many years. Or that it was much much...

“Ford - not a waste of money” or “makes a good short-term placeholder until a legit electric truck hits the market”…not very glowing tag lines. Just too bad we still don’t have a good bet after 4.5 yrs in line

Btw - lightning now has access to Tesla sc’s. Even better - port is in the front / can access charge cords without dropping the trailer :)

Yeah, that’s my point. They both suck at towing equally, which is why neither is a long term investment. If I thought the ct was - even with another 16k (60k total price difference) I’d go with it. Now the aim is to minimize massive depreciation and interest until a true long-term truck comes...

Yeah - I have a boat / need to tow with it eventually…. Unfortunately, ct is a huge gamble in this regard.

$40k difference includes the tax credit differential...but not the promotional interest rate Ford is putting out as well. I'll take 1.9% 36 month financing over the bs 6.5% on the Tesla. Really adds up...

That seals it - I’ll take a lightning at $10k off msrp, lariat, for an effective $40k less and better specs…. Now to get my refund back

I guess I ask unpopular questions??

Wondering if someone might have some ideas regarding Tesla being on the hook for range extender orders in the future. The problem - if I get the truck, and no RE is ever executed, the vehicle will not meet my needs. Even worse - if they don't deliver on REs and instead offer a longer range...

Wow - that's great how Tesla is now charging extra to have a color on their vehicles...and protection from basic elements, like rain. Good job!

Holy smokes - I just got my VIN!!! (Diesel Fast and Furious DVD Collection)

Yes! More flurries - here comes a blizzard of CTs!!

Well, I think we're about to see a flurry of VINs and all of the posts on here will quickly create a blur. Stopped by Rocklin CA SC the other day and they had 8 sitting, ready for delivery. Salesperson said they're seeing a very significant ramp-up. Also - last time the vin tracker had a...
