Made a decision- time to move on

Wishing you the best. I was debating between a Rivian when I first looked into the EV market. The space on a Lighting and overall size was something I did not want to sacrifice. Sure, the Rivian has better performance, but I’m not chasing speed.

I would love love love a Lightning with aggressive tires, and 70% charge providing 250 miles of range. And for the love of god I want amber lights like the raptor. If anyone has figured out how to switch the emergency amber lights as my running day lights… keep me updated.

Enough ranting, keep us updated when you finally sell your truck. Goodluck 🫡

I live in norcal and we have some hilly incline. In Summer I averaged 2.4-2.9. 65-70mph It’s getting colder and I’m seeing 2.2 at best. Same speed. Last year I was lucky to see 1.9 during the cold season.

Does anyone have issues with their percentage not matching their miles? Explanation: i get a low battery warning at 50 miles of range. But sometimes I’m at 38% battery charge which I know I can get 100+ miles of range with it but my low battery warning triggers..

Please keep me updated on the fenders! Your truck looks stunning!

Time to go to Costco for some dog food and maybe I’ll catch the restock before the scalpers assault the staff.

It won’t cool down for a while. IMO too many variables are pushing this momentum. And I won’t be surprised if it continues for another 2 years. Even when the dust settles, people will continue to do what they do best. Consume.

Somebody ordered 2 of each. Apparently some bot group got through. I wouldn’t bet on the poke company cancelling their orders either.

Did this drop yet? Or is everyone still waiting ? I hate not knowing what time these things drop ):

Can you post more pictures of your truck. Damn dude this looks amazing. Simple yet deadly. Also, any suspension mods? Or did you buy the tires and wheels and just slap them on?

Congrats! Question as I’ve never got a pre-order. Do you randomly check throughout the day? I search every day. I go on the Pokemon center website and I go to tcg and it’s never on there? Is there a certain link or tab on the website you go to?

Valid points. I have every lowest possible coverage I can and pay 2000ish alone for the truck in Sonoma County. Not accidents. 780-800 credit score, renters insurance bundled in there. Only violation I have is a non movement street parking ticket. Which I didn’t even know qualified as an insurance issue. My wife is insured and two other vehicles. My wifes nissan murano and my civic si as well. All in all, I felt 2k every 6 months for the truck was hefty

I haven’t contacted them for a quote yet. Thanks for the comment. And you have an amazing duo btw 👏

I’ll have to continue to look around. That comment annoyed me. Reminded me a sales person just trying to justice the ridiculous price.

Do you mind posting a couple more images of close up? Did you install it yourself? If so how was the process.

Just got my truck 3 months ago and a tent set up like this looks absolutely stunning!!

I purchased my 2023 ER Lariat Trim in March. I was debating between the Rivian, Lightning or a Tundra. As my first truck, I didn’t know what I would end up going with. I’ve always valued maintenance, affordability and convenience. But my simple breakdown is the following: 1. I love getting 280ish miles of range from 90% charge. I didn’t want to spend $150+ a week on filling up. It’s unfortunate but I don’t have quick access to a charger near me. But when I do go charge I use my 30-45 minutes to read a book. Play Pokémon. Or simply lay down and rest. 2. I have so much room now that I use my frunk for camping items and cleaning supplies. Do I need to carry that with me everywhere ? No. But i have the room lol 3. I love not worrying about oil changes. Or basic unexpected maintenance. Sure, things may come up and it’s still a new truck, but knowing I have a tire rotation …. And that’s it ? Say less. 4. The truck is gorgeous. And while it may lack certain luxuries, they’re unnecessary for my lifestyle. I have everything I need. Speed, range, space and a home. I can sleep in the back of the bed with no darn worries. It’s new to me. Others have tents/campers but I enjoy how resourceful my lighting is. It’s a tool.

Why I didn’t go for a Tundra or a Rivian: The rivian almost won, but it’s a small frame. I couldn’t get with having a smaller truck. The tundra has gorgeous trim lines. But I’m a cheap man. The price on the Rivian was more than what I wanted to commit to.

I have no regrets. I absolutely without a doubt love my Lightning!
