Man I hate that I missed that this event was occurring in Louisville until now. I would have loved to have attended. I will make an extra effort to get to the next one.

Would definitely participate, if you (SLATE AUTO) would bring one of those cuties to Bowling Green, KY. Maybe we could meet up at the Corvette Museum. There are DCFC’s there and I’m sure Chevrolet wouldn’t mind at all.

I owned a pair of them from the earliest production dates. I really liked them, but wanted an electric version and since it didn’t appear it was going to happen I went with Lightning. I won’t go back ICE for the money. Now if the T3 arrives on time and on budget I might go that route, but as...

If you drive Electric you’ll never go back ICE. I am speaking from experience. 😊

I feel you. I’ve walked the line many a time. USAF 1975-1979.

We know that’s a misstatement. It’s been demonstrated on a number of occasions in less than two hours. By their engineers of course, so a few hours for us DIY’ers.

A full throated reveal of the WARRANTY will be required for me. Well before the order date, thank you.

I drive a 2022 Lightning that does 0-60 in 3.8ish. It will be an adjustment (and disappointing) going between it and the Slate. I plan on keeping both.

They’ll have to revisit this comparison when the Ford (T1) specs come to lite in the near future. That will be an apple to apple 🍎 comparison.

I took it that the electrical system (LV) will be a 48volt system. They talk about the reduction in weight of the wiring harness and this achieved via the fact that a higher voltage system can be run on a greatly reduced size of wire. That’s my speculation not actual comment from Ford.

Huh. You might want to check your sources again. The article is taking about delaying T3 (New midsized EV truck platform) not the F150. If you’re thinking it’s a 150 Lightning replacement it’s not. At least not a direct replacement. We likely see the Lightning go away when it comes to...

Yes, that is correct. However the T3 was originally announced as coming 2026, if memory serves. It was delayed once several months back to 2027 and now to 2028. If they keep that up, I’ll be dead and gone. 🤪

I saw the same level of knowledge among my friends regarding the Maverick before its release. We all know how that has turned out. 😀

Be careful. That plug is not likely rated for a continuous draw at the amperage. Those are known for melting and burning. The circuit may be ok, but that plug should be replaced with a UL listed EV plug.

I’m leaning Extended, however, based on cost I my go standard. I drive a 2022 Lightning with the extended range battery in it. I have never faced an issue with range and have never gone below 30%. Not because of fear, but just my usage case. (Home charging 95% of the time). I will go...

With the SUV seat installed it looks like it has pretty limited leg room. Not sure that’s going to work for a lot of people.

The front view looks a lot like the Mach-e, to me anyway.

To me, that looks too much like the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Never was a fan of that thing.
