I would’ve posted this sooner, but the same day I drove this home I slipped on the stairs on one of my kids toys and managed to pull like 10 things in my back at the same time. The weather is MUCH better and fits this mood I’m feeling about this truck which is 🤩. My back is 100% now and I have ABSOLUTELY BEEN LOVING THIS LIGHTNING FLASH! All terrain tires, 123kW battery, and have been averaging 3.5 miles per kW. I’m still learning all the in’s-and-out’s of this truck, it’s MUCH, MUCH different than my last car. This is also my first EV. The driving, it’s so smoooooooooth! The only complaint I’ll give is the turn radius, not as tight but I couldn’t care less about that. 


I drove a 2011 Honda Accord for the last 14 years (great car btw), but I saw that a dealership was offering 0% for 72 months that ended the 31st of July. I took a HAIL MARY chance of being able to drive away with this, starting a business while managing a bunch of other things made it difficult to pay off the bills as fast as I had scheduled and anticipated, STILL GOT 0% with an AMAZING PRICE TAG! I felt as though it was a 45/55 chance of driving away 2 weeks ago and managed to pull off a much needed win! I don’t and will not install a home charging station, it will cost roughly ~$4,000 to comply with county and HOA rules, but luckily there is about 30 Tesla super charging stations in a 8 mile radius from me with 10 of those opening in 2 weeks that are 2 miles from my house; peak wattage at $0.35 and off peak at $0.17, then there are various other chargers with about 50 in total of a 10 mile radius from my house. I am also enrolled in college and they also provide EV charging for ridiculously cheap prices. I have in person classes on campus once a week so I am totally covered with all of that. I did the math and it would be longer to break even off the charger than it would to pay off the truck. I charged it yesterday at peak, 47kW added cost $18 rounding up.


All in all, LOOK AT THAT SPARKLE!!! 

That’s my neighbors truck in the background, the diesel cousin to the EV. Great guy! Before even introducing himself, he mowed my lawn when we were unpacking after moving in.

Look at that sparkle! So Flashy, like Lightning
