[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]320 miles for the extended range version isn't terrible. These trucks will be HEAVY.

230 miles for the normal version.

That is plenty of mileage for people who use them for work. And - let's get real - the first batch of these will be bought by rich people for driving around, not work. [/quote]

So then the realistic mileage is 275 & 190?

They are selling it as a power source. Power those tools?

Throw in some heavy equipment, a/c, and a 60 mile drive each way.

Could be cutting it close. [/quote]

No the mileage is 300 with 2,000 pound in the bed. Without a load it’s likely 400 plus.[/quote]

No one is getting 400+.  :lol:

It’s 320 without the load. But that’s unrealistic for real-world driving.

They’ll be lucky to get 300.

Guess it won’t be used much for towing trailers.

That’s what we would use it for so we can get off the list now. We signed up as soon as the announcement came out, and our number is still not up. We have a standard F150 and love it I was just trying to be more earth conscious.[/quote]

TBH, I'm not sure an EV appropriate for towing will be available for another 5 years. The battery tech isn't there yet to make it go a few hundred miles on a single charge while towing 3 tons. That's for any of the current EV manufacturers.[/quote]

Wait and see what happens with the Cyber Truck.

Model X seems to be doing ok. 235 miles for 3200 lb trailer.

And probably only 120 miles when you do 6 tons, like in the Tweet above for the F-150 Lightening. That Model X is pulling only half the weight @ 3200 pounds![/quote]
