My ICE vehicles would see brake jobs around 30-60k as well, depending on the car, and I get the weight argument but my Lightning is within 100lbs of the R1T, actual measured weight at CAT scales, and the R1T has far more aggressive regen.
I could see the type of driving playing a factor -...
You probably get more than me, but I’m in the NE so I see salt as well. Especially in my F-150 Lightning, which plows in the winter. It’s not that there’s zero use, but definitely not enough to warrant replacement.
I was surprised to see this thread. Over a decade of EV ownership, various brands and a number of them have gone over 100,000 miles. One nearing 200,000….i have never replaced pads or rotors on a single one of them….
It’s a tough one. I maintain - by unpopular opinion - that the two trucks sit in different classes.
When I went Lighting to R1T, I missed the Lightning regularly. Things regularly frustrated me when it was missing (some has been fixed with OTA and Gen2) When I went from the R1T to the...
As someone who bought a Lightning first (2022 Pro) I have to say it’s a phenomenal truck and I say you keep it.
As someone who then sold it and took delivery of my R1T (2022 Quad) I have to say it’s a great truck and you should keep it the R1T
As someone who then sold the R1T and bought a...
I’ve had it happen in my Teslas. I’d say it’s poor engineering and rushed development, but it happened in my Toyota Sienna too…
Oddly enough my Subarus with their windshield wiper heaters never caused an issue.
I'd argue they are both crossovers and competes along with a Kia EV9. Sure it doesn't have the branding but in terms of usage, 3 rows, kids, that is where the 3 of these vehicles fight for domain.
The R1S could play in there too, but it really wasn't meant to IMO. It's a jack of all trades...
This. If you don't consider these things, then Tesla did their first refresh of the Model S/X in 2022, but obviously AP1/AP2 was different. 90D/100D was different. MCU 1 vs 2 vs 2.5. Motors, suspension, etc. As for timeline it was less than 1 year before MX went AP1 to AP2. It was another...
It feels very Tesla circa 2017/18 with the stories, speculation, a defense. Then after 19/20, never had to look back.
Lucid, obviously Fisker are still questionable. But Polestar and Rivian are here to stay based on what they’ve accomplished so far.
I couldn’t agree more. I ended up getting a rear view camera and using my iPad as a display, none of the tow mirrors I tried allowed me to get comfortable with them.
I will have to say, the truck is great at towing but the aftermarket support is severely lacking. My Lightning is a breeze with...
Conserve mode, low suspension, and in relative cold (30-40F) It was a while ago now so I don’t recall how much I had left. I also sold the truck, I think on one trip I projected out to nearly 340 miles of range..quite insane. Comparatively my Lightning on the same trips have maxed out around 280...
Merriam Webster of "Undead": "not dead : returned from or as if from death"
Therefore we can concluded that methanol can cause permanent death, but vampirism causes temporary death - or no death at all as you're simply not dead. But if you are killed as a vampire, it would be permanent death...
