What kind of power consumption (in kw-hr/mi) are you seeing towing that 190 around?
More like Gas Range Extender. Chevy Volt had this setup. People that own them love them. Give me that capability in a pickup (or 3-row SUV now), and I'm right there with ya. Get the electric for commuting, and the gas for loaded long range driving.
Exactly. I don’t need the frunk on the new lightning, leave the eco boost in there, and halve the battery capacity. I’d be down for that all day long.
My feeling too. I was a huge mustang fan. Not the right place for the rebadge. especially with the "MACH" name in it. MAYYYYBE had they announced their entry into EV's with a SERIOUSLY bad ass sports EV and called it the mustang. but we looked at it. Nothing about it says mustang to me. But, my guess is im not the target demo. Theyre goin for younger folks who MIGHT recognize the name.
yep this was us. But when we realized Well have 4 drivers in the house soon, we decided it was time, but to just keep the Nissan, Dodge Dakota for longer range towing, hauling. Have a VW jetta that will go to one of my sons. Tesla for commuting, and reasonable road trips. We did order with the tow hitch, but this is mostly for own towing beta testing. Mileage vs charge etc. well be able to tow to the river but prob not our favorite lake( at 60 miles one way, its close considering an estimated 40% range loss,) Ozarks gives me pause. 230 miles. there ARE superchargers at right spread of ranges but, maneuvering to charge in there gives me MAJOR heebie jeebies. AGain, much to learn, and that could be a non issue, looking forward to the learning.
Gt500 motor is a voodoo
Mid 4s' in a truck is pretty fast. I test drove a roush Nitemare (5.0 with a supercharger at 650 HO) 0-60 in 3.9. Love the power, the gas gauge move almost as quick as the speedometer, except down. I like the lightning , and might look at it for a purchase. I really want to drive a Rivian though.
I'm a mustang nut. I don't mind the Mach E. I was disappointed in the power of the mach e's they released first. Very slow, they should have released the GT version first. That would have increased the hype a lot.
You reminded me to check. The Gt350 has Voodoo, the Gt500 is Predator. Not sure I'd want that for an engine name, haha.
My boss is an early release edition reservation holder for Rivian. he's been told he should have his in the next few months. I'm REALLY REALLY interested to see how it stacks up and works. He tows a trailer from time to time with his F150, but it's always around town. Said he's rarely ventured more than a hundred miles in a day with the trailer. Should work out really well for him I would think. Daily commute is around 30mi one way, so he's well covered there. His wife is already in a Model X, so he's full on board with ditching the gas stations.
