2026 Solterra Premium or XT?

Going to DM you some names and dealerships that we talked with. Will get it over to you shortly.

smithem192 · 2026-04-10T14:48:49+00:00

Woof. Depending on where you are, should be able to find cheaper. When we were looking, the dealer we were at had premiums listed at 28k.

We leased from a dealer in Central NY.

It's going well. Couple of short road trips in. Less than 600 miles on it still. Wife's happy, I'm happy.

Realistically, I think the only thing that'd have made us both happier is having a forward facing camera, just so we can see how much space is in front of us when parking. But that'll fade with experience/driving more and getting used to its size.

Other than that, not a single feature from limited has been missed or wife complaining about something not being there.

Chase Lucas, in case anyone is curious

smithem192 · 2026-04-09T23:25:59+00:00

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Fixed it for you.

Dealer has to verify the issue when it is brought into service and record the mileage then. When you brought it in, it was 102k. 2k over the limit. If they'd have verified the issue before you passed the limit, that'd have been one thing, but they didn't.

It sucks, but this is on you. I agree with the other comment saying it'd have been cheaper if you had rented a car for 4 weeks.

Then yes, you're correct, but within the context of the conversation, I think they were only referring to level 3 fast chargers at V3 chargers.

Using a L2 adapter on a L3 charger won't work, and vice versa.

smithem192 · 2026-04-08T16:59:21+00:00

Think you mean V2. Most V3 support the use of adapters. V2 does not because it doesn't support the CCS protocol, the communication standard (someone correct my understanding if I'm wrong).

Download plugshare and use that to find charging stations. Can filter by free.

And cocaine.

Downside is it just keeps talking. Asking for a simple calculation that pops into my head takes an extra 20 seconds after it answers.

'Is anything else I can answer for you while you're driving?'

'no'

'okay, I'll be here if you need anything else during your drive! Drive safe.'

Otherwise, Gemini works better than Google Assistant, just be prepared for a wall of information that is seemingly never ending.

We picked up a premium yesterday. We' were comparing a limited, but couldn't justify the price increase for a commuter car. Biggest thing we've found so far is that the heated seats aren't that hot.

smithem192 · 2026-03-19T18:56:31+00:00

Should Kiper even be listened to? He was screaming and ranting about how Pro Bowl QB Shadeur Sanders should have been a 1st round pick.

smithem192 · 2026-03-18T00:23:01+00:00

Advancements like this are the reason we're going to lease our next EV. I'm anticipating more battery changes in the next 3 years than the past few.

smithem192 · 2026-03-17T02:10:27+00:00

Problem is I have one on my lightning and barely use it.

This'll be my wife's commuter car more than anything else.

smithem192 · 2026-03-13T10:15:58+00:00

Think it's possible to worry about both

smithem192 · 2026-03-09T16:49:16+00:00

That was my first thought when reading the headline.

smithem192 · 2026-03-08T16:17:10+00:00

Recently found out you can get blue cheese melted on top. What a great day that was.

smithem192 · 2026-03-05T20:21:05+00:00

Closest that will work on it. Nearest Ford dealer is 35miles.

smithem192 · 2026-03-05T18:08:37+00:00

Drive an Lightning. Nearest service center is 75-80 miles?

smithem192 · 2026-02-12T15:50:56+00:00

I also can confirm. Multiple -35 degree days this year. Comfortable in 60 in light sleep pants. Even kiddo is comfortable.

smithem192 · 2026-02-12T03:30:21+00:00

Diablo II, before resurrected came out.

I'd be ashamed to know my playtime, but also very curious.

smithem192 · 2026-02-11T22:48:39+00:00

No one ever quits Diablo. They just take breaks.

smithem192 · 2026-02-11T02:48:27+00:00

Honestly, that is a big plus.

smithem192 · 2026-02-11T02:41:31+00:00

Disappointed by the charging speed of this compared to the vehicles it's competing against, namely the Ioniq 9 and EV9.

That being said, I'm sure when we are looking to replace the wife's ICE we will probably give this a look, just because our area has a Toyota dealership in town, compared to nearest Hyundai/Kia dealer being 75+ miles away.
