What is your order?

[E90400K]

Fries. I'll "take fries with that."

 

[atreis]

Extended battery
Fastback
Some interior frills (center console, armrests, etc.)

No wrap. I'll leave the outside raw.
Aftermarket double din receiver and speakers.

 

[bartflossom]

Original order: Extended range, upgraded tail lights, upgraded front signal lights, stickers for the wheels, some interior niceties, and a lower half wrap. Should look like this:

Then I'll proceed slowly to upgrade this to what you see in my avatar.

The only thing that has me on the fence is the battery loses capacity over time and you charge from 20-80%

so I dont need the extended battery now, but 10 years from now I might.

My current truck is 15 years old - I like to keep my cars for as long as possible.

I don't know if this is the case for other cars but my electric Ford Focus is set up out of the factory to not use the upper and lower ranges of the battery, if you're out of juice there's still technically 20% battery in there but they don't let you use it and it cuts off charging at 80% capacity. I've hardly noticed any hit in range and it's coming up on 13ish years old now. Are other EVs the same? Id hope at least the slate is configured the same for longevities sake

the nissan leaf was notorious for losing range. I think manufacturers understand how to condition the battery to avoid this. I think the 20-80% being automatic is fine but then my 150 miles needs to be after the 20-80%.

If not, 20-80% is only 90 miles which is fine for me today and I would want to be able to exceed that when I have to.

Get the extended battery and future-proof as much as practical, especially cruising ATL.

Yeah, the 52kWh is really just not big enough.

 

[Doctors Do Little]

Initial order:
-Extended Battery
-Lift
-AT tires
-Spare tire
-SUV kit with rear seat (I'll figure out how to make it open/closed air)
-some inside common sense stuff - nothing crazy - my phone and bluetooth speakers are probably sufficient to start with.

A little later on will go with spray-on bed-liner in lieu of wrap, knocking holes in roof, etc...this won't likely be my daily driver, but it could be, depending on what other truck EV's hit the market to replace my Lightning.

I'd have to imagine it's 150 miles of range after accounting for the battery limiting. I know the numbers don't always translate linearly but my car has ~76 miles of range with a 27ish kwh battery, the standard battery here is double that at around the low to mid 50s and double the range with 150 miles

For me, I will get the regular range battery since I plan to use it for around town trips.
-Fastback Kit (without seat, if available)
-wrap (possible one or two colors depending on price)
-fog lights
Other things depend on pricing and may get them later
-interior color changes (several pieces to change)
-lowering (also depends on base height)
Not sure about too many other accessories atm

Have to admit my challenge is also timing. Of course the battery would have to be at order time. Would make sense to order SUV topper so truck is shipped with it installed, but not a show stopper if have to DIY. The smaller items likely will come done to cost alternatives vs budget. How will shipping vs installed price compare? Naturally, this maybe more concern to me than others as shipping costs are a major factor living here. So if an item is $50 more for shipping vas say $75 for installation, then which makes more sense to me? Will depend on the item. Installation cost of accessories is not been discussed here. Are we assuminghb ngs just get loaded in truck bed and shipped? Sadly, not allowed for me, but don’t know the rules for Mainland.

 

[1yeliab_sufur1]

My answer is yes except the center console I like the more open style but we will see what other addons they do

so far

fender flare
Lift
A/t tires
The square suv kit
Maybe the speaker kit on the fence
I do want to see other seat options
Inside brown and green

 

[adele]

• yellow or orange wrap
• center+left+right dashboard speakers
• if there's an option for a volume knob for the speakers without getting an entire radio (because I just want to play music from my phone, but prefer a knob to volume buttons)

Things to consider later:

• window crank accent rings in magma
• open-air SUV kit
• lowering kit

Nice. Would you DIY the lowering kit?
