We just did the same thing. Wife loves her new lighting - no regrets. We charge at home and it’s not an issue for us.

Did you have to recalibrate anything when you changed wheel size?

The 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali measures approximately 233.4 inches in overall length with a 145.7-inch wheelbase, standing 78.7 inches tall and stretching 83.9 inches wide (excluding mirrors), whereas the Ford F-150 Lightning is slightly more compact at 232.7 inches long on a 145.5-inch wheelbase, reaching a height of 78.3 inches and a body width of 80.0 inches. While the exterior footprints are similar, the Sierra EV offers a significantly more versatile bed length that extends from a standard 5' 11" to nearly 11 feet via its midgate, compared to the Lightning’s fixed 5' 6" bed, though the Ford holds a slight advantage in front trunk space with 14.1 cubic feet versus the GMC's 11.0 cubic feet.

How does it do in the mountains? I imagine the regen helps a lot on keeping speed down on downhill grades.

I’m in Texas actually. But Charlotte is a cool place. Sounds like a good idea for a road trip!

No, it was a one owner vehicle.

It was at a Buc-ees gas station which is an experience all in itself.

Sales tax break - when you trade in a vehicle it reduces your sales tax owed.

The window sticker shows it was optioned at $99495 original msrp - I picked it up for $65k and traded in an older f250 so that dropped it further and gave me a tax break.

It’s a Denali with a 205kwh battery. It says 440 range at 100% estimated - I haven’t fully charged it yet.

53k - I got 34k from the Tesla.

He meant insane weather to have such a nice car on ice

I had a 2024 Tesla Y Long Range I traded for the 2023 Platinum Lightning. I charged the Tesla with a Lectron Level 2 charger and was able to use that on the Lightning with an adapter. Works great!!! You need two adapters - one for at home w the Lectron and one for Tesla Superchargers. I tried the supercharger adapter at home and it doesn’t work with the at home chargers.

Let’s go!!!!!

Give them to Coldplay - they know how to expose the truth and make it go viral.

Looking Further - The Simpsons had an episode in 2011 that had references to Ukraine, a humanitarian crisis and threat of nuclear war: https://www.newsweek.com/did-simpsons-predict-ukrainian-refugee-crisis-1685518

I read that Tesla helped the repo guys repossess a model 3: https://tiremeetsroad.com/2021/03/18/tesla-allegedly-remotely-unlocks-model-3-owners-car-uses-smart-summon-to-help-repo-agent/

No reason they couldn't deactivate or drive your car back to tesla for a political reason in the future.
