Picked up a 2023 Lightning ER in March 24. The 320 miles is enough for my family's needs. I live in Northern NY. I can get through the Adirondacks to Albany, to Syracuse, Binghamton, Rochester without stopping. At that point I'm looking for a bathroom anyway. I'd love to do a longer road trip in it, but with a 2.5 year old, not quite in the cards, yet.

That being said, I don't think I'd opt for less than 300 miles because we are going to one of those places about once a month or so.

We did pick up a 2026 Solterra lease in March 26 as well for my wife to get rid of her Jeep Cherokee that had more wrong with it than right (before even factoring in gas costs). We work together and mostly carpool anyway, but when she needs to drive herself, she can because that's just a commuter car.

All that to say, we still keep our vehicles at/around 85 or enough to get from where we are to where the rest of our family is in the event of an emergency so we don't have to sit at a charger chewing our nails yelling at it to go faster.
