3 Months with Gen 2 R1T Max Dual (Coming From Ford Raptor)

Great write up! I came from a 2018 Raptor, and the only thing I miss is that big landing space in the back when you flip the seat up. My lab now looks at me like... "where the hell should I jump to?"

I also had a 2020 Giulia Quadrifoglio that I sold in conjunction with the Raptor.

The heat pump is LOUD though, LOL.

It's a 30% drop in Range. Meaning if I charge to a full 420 (rarely do), I can maybe get 300 miles. But for half of December and a good chunk of January it never got above 25*. It's also very windy where I live which reduces the Feels Like temp even further. Then driving 82-83mph hurts it as well.

I'm looking forward to see what warmer temps do for me in late March early April.

During subzero weather, I try to fast charge prior to each leg of a 90 mile commute in order to get the battery up to 70 - 90F for the road trip thinking that it would improve efficiency. It does not. I got 1.6 mi/kWh and 1.2 mi/kWh there and back with a warm battery the other day when it was 7F. .

Nice thread and glad you like your truck! I had a few teething issues with my May '23 build, but it has been pretty much everything I've ever wanted in a vehicle.

I'm going to derail slightly and ask about I15 - I'm planning to tow from BC to St George in a month and had thought I15 looked pretty good from a charging perspective, but I'm wondering a bit now based on your comment...

I think you'll be fine. Idaho and Northern Utah will likely be the roughest part but you might even get to use the RAN in Twin Falls!!! Depending on your route parts of eastern Washington and eastern Oregon might be tough. As long as you have a Tesla adapter I think you'll be fine. There's a really nice one in North Ogden. I think it's 325kW and it's usually empty so you can really fly.

My beef was mostly not being able to get any EV GO to work and most of the time the Electrify America's were full or near full and I couldn't pull in on the correct side.

Tri coat? Looks brilliant!

One of the things I found out pretty quickly was that a lot of problems are cured with a reboot (or even just letting the vehicle go to sleep overnight). Always try that first.

Glad you’re enjoying your truck!
