Good lists. You just reminded me of one luxury on this LIghtning that I do enjoy though....heated/ventilated seats! (Power hogs for sure).

sounds fancy

My dad was a mechanic and he used to freak out if the gauge made it that low. He was convinced that you would be apt to suck up nasty sediment etc at the bottom of the tank by letting it get that low. I know that there is some truth to that and some myth from days before. He would crap...

I don’t disagree.

Here is how I explained the economics of my Lightning vs my F150 5.0L to my brother: Punch line first: at home I was saving about $21/250 miles with L2 charger and driving locally vs 5.0L. On the interstate, I was SPENDING $19/250 miles more than the 5.0L by using public fast chargers. For...

As a college undergraduate economist, JMK was sacrosanct, Sir. Yeah, those were the parts of economics, I liked. Macro and also forecasting bendy curves…

I love the British pragmatism. No muss. No fuss. Just get on with it. You are welcome here!

You're operating the American dream real time. Make it so.

Love the truth here. Hope you save enough to make it happen!

I'm betting on $27K/$31K pricing....go crazy on adds and your budget is up to you alone.

We don't have enough cheap/slave labor to compete, I'd think. So, won't see it.

I agree with your math. My baby brother is a far-left guy and yet doesn't even own a hybrid....he did the math and decided that the difference in price didn't justify the difference in mileage gained. So virtue signaling has it's limits? I'm guilty of being lazy with the math when it comes...

Thank you for your thoughtful response. These maths make sense. My brother is a nuclear power operator and he used to tell me that if we had $6/gal gasoline we'd be all electric in 5 years (I guess Cali and a few others are close?) and have 4x as many nuke power plants as we currently have...

I hope you are over by $3K, Pat!

Ah yes…saving the cash for an unknown price tag. Reminds me of my engagement!

That's a long wait to just open orders...(I gots kids to clothe and feed, and I can’t be held back by some truck-maker’s notion of “ordering dates”!). July 4 would be rich symbolism though. As long as mine is delivered by Christmas, wrapped and ready?

Nice.

OK...I'm following. That works at the house, but without native wifi in-truck, wouldn't that application only apply within 100m of your wifi (or will you not worry about your sojourns around the volcano base?).

Dude is not dumb. I'm surprised that there isn't a secondary gain for Amazon...short-trip/last-mile/local-only cargo applications for the Slate? Maybe get them for $19K each for stripped models with bed topped with initial order of 20,000 units? Or buy them and rent them to subK's who are...

If Jeffe Bezos has anything to do with it, I'd agree.
