    I've had mine since 9/22. Same experience as yours. Great truck. The people who are most critical are people who don't own them. Most haven't driven.

    I've had my lightning for 5 month and love it for my daily driving around town. I still have my muscle cars for the weekend and a hybrid suv for our road trips.

    Glad to see a mechanic giving an EV a fair shake. Great video guys!

    I’ve had my 22 lightning platinum since June 22 and currently have 31,700 miles on it. Best truck I’ve ever owned hands down. I also have a 24 platinum powerstroke and a 22 KR powerstroke and love those…but nothing drives as pleasant and cheaply as my Lightning!
  • @tscoff
    I own one too and I’ve owned it for 4 months. I like mine and it’s a good truck.
  • @leoesposito8762
    i like the F150 lighting they have a clean look about them especially in white good to see you still like too because you here a lot of bad things about it, being a mechanic it says a lot
  • @tpainsanger
    Well said! It's not because you have an electric vehicule that you can't love ICE vehicule!
  • @thebignewfie
    Also in Toronto great video I needed this. How often would you say you would go to a fast charger and it was offline. I guess you were using Flow and Electrify Canada?
  • @mikeflanary642
    Great review! Did you pre-condition the truck in winter? (set it up to warm from the app while plugged in?) It heats up the battery and gives you more range in colder temperatures. So you leave with a heated cabin, warmed up battery and full battery. Did you ask if a plow version is being planned? From my experience with the Lightning, the slower you go the better the efficiency (under 50mph). Being heavy and instant torque, it has a lot of power and weight behind it.
  • @sooocheesy
    How much money do you save a month on gas? I know you said $250 every two days so that's about ~$3K/mo assuming you were just doing that on weekdays? That easily covers the payment on the Lightning and then some..
  • @mcyclonegt
    Fully jammed? Is that the Canadian version of fully loaded?
  • @RomanEmpire-lc4tb
    I WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME TO PAY $30,000 LET ALONE $78,000 FORD, GM AND OTHERS WENT CRAZY!!! . I WILL KEEP FIXING WHAT I HAVE BEFORE I WOULD EVEN THINK OF GETTING THIS OR THE GASOLINE ONES NOW A DAYS.
  • @Gavin_b3ns0n
    Using the radio 😂. That uses little to no power should be unnoticeable.
  • @adaycj
    It's almost like Ford didn't do any cold weather testing on that thing. Glad to hear it mostly got sorted.
