You won't, service is in quite a state, but they should get you sorted and then you should have a mostly trouble free truck. Obviously, there are exceptions out there, but it seems most have pretty reliable vehicles.

That's a good point, keeping the liability makes sense. I was thinking more in terms of coverage for my property. There are some pretty good rates on umbrella policies out there as well.

This is the direction I'm headed, get the minimum legally required, then self-insure. The insurance companies are setting the rates where they think they are likely to make money on you. If they think it is a good gamble (that's what they are doing, gambling that they won't have to pay out more...

Insurance companies out here trying to earn the title of worst/most unethical companies in America.

I would like more power in all purpose and a more responsive accelerator pedal.... guess we'll see

This is a solid update. So happy we're getting some Christmas theming as I wasn't expecting any and very excited about YouTube and Google Cast. Couldn't really care less about the Netflix thing, I watch it like two times a year anyway.

Dang, we'll hopefully they've figured out how to work with the 12s

Most EVs do have 12v issues, Tesla did before switching, Hyundai/Kia have, Mach Es did. It's pretty common.

Not that I've seen, would be nice though

Hmm, keep us updated. The 12v is definitely the weakest point in the system. I wonder if they'll keep it for R2 or move to a 48v system like Tesla.

Yikes, some of this I can understand. They are slammed and super busy, easy for something to take longer than expected and push your repair back. Even the rental car situation I'm sure isn't the easiest to coordinate. But the lack of communication is unacceptable, it doesn't cost anything...

I think we see a big increase in service centers starting in late 2025. By 2027 a significant portion of R1s will be out of warranty, which means service becomes a revenue source and not a huge cost. R2 and R3 will be selling in large numbers by early 27 and those customers will expect better...

Until a bill starts making it's way through congress it's all talk. Also the tax credit was around his first term and he didn't do anything about it.

Ugh.... Trump can't just decide to get rid of the tax credit, would have to go through congress. It might happen, but not overnight. Furthermore, politicians promise a lot of crap, rarely do they follow through. We'll see on this one...

I think the large is 131 useable and the mas is around 140? Don't quote me on that though

I think you're right about depreciation on the Fords. I can't speak to efficiency on the G2 R1T tri, but I can tell you my G1 Quad R1T gets about 2.4kWhr/mi, down to about 2.1 in the winter here in CO. As for charging speeds, you should get better, but nothing like the GM products those are...

Until a good percentage of vehicles are out of warranty...then it becomes a revenue source.

I'm comparing msrp to msrp. EV9 Gt line msrp is ~75k

No, it was in Denver awhile back, but I wasn't able to make it.

For a lease to hold over for a couple years the Hyundia/Kia products are great. The payment on our EV9 is just over $400/month. We put $1500 down. For a three row electric SUV I think that's pretty good, and Ioniq5/EV6 is arguably an even better deal. Wouldn't want to own one, but hard to pass...
