I'm hoping my next F150 is a hybrid. I'd rather have a Lightning but I don't see two EVs as reasonable any time in the near future in the Midwest.
As Ford loses billions on EVs, the company embraces hybrids
Ford's hybrid hype runs counter to recent messaging from the Detroit automakers, which have touted the performance and popularity of all-electric favorites.www.cnbc.com
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

I own an EV at home, I rent ICE cars for work. But I doubt I will ever own another ICE car for my daily driver, EV is just so much better at everything.
A key test for EV sales and the adoption curve is coming
GM sold about 36,000 EVs in the first half of 2023. With production set to zoom higher, the new Silverado, Blazer and Equinox models better sell.
It’s happening! My Rivian is going into production!

Been looking at the Bolt since it's cheap and it seems government incentives are still there.
The dealers are marking up the Bolt over MSRP. Not cool.
Just got some stats back from July on my wifes' Tesla MYLR
656 miles driven
226 KWh (all home charging)
Total Charging Cost $24.46
Cost per 100 mi/$3.72
She previously drove a VW Tiguan. If we applied the same mileage:
656 miles driven
25 mpg
Total Fuel Cost $91.58
Cost per 100 mi/$13.96
So far in August, the Tesla has been more efficient but we did charge once at a Supercharger. Cost per 100 mile is running around $3.60.
So if I average this out over 12k miles, my costs should look something like this
Tesla $446
Tiguan $1,675
$1,229 Savings
About the same as what our insurance went up
I expect the Tesla to have worse cost per mile in the winter. The Tiguan got a little worse mileage in the winter as well. Also, Mid American is pretty cheap with rates around 11 cents per KW. There are places in California that pay 3x that amount. Just thought of something.....I believe Mid American may have winter electric rates, which are a lot lower.
Probably save another $300-$500 in maintenance per year as well.
In summary, buy one if you prefer the driving experience, which we have so far.

Very hawt. Where did you take delivery?
Had it for a week today. Absolutely amazing vehicle.
The Minneapolis SC can't do deliveries on sight, so they are only doing home deliveries. They brought it to the home we're renting until our new home is finished next month.
It was the last day of the qtr and my delivery specialist said he was doing 13 that day alone.
Extremely sharp. I hope your family can keep that white interior cleaner than mine could

.What was you all in price?
I've never spent more than $4k on a vehicle for myself, have alerts set for when electros get in my price range
I commend you on being a darn good mechanic, especially if you have a wife and kids.
Folks now this is how you humble brag.
Actually congrats on both the house and vehicle. Post some house pics when it is done?

What was you all in price?
I ordered 2.5 years ago, so my build was about $78k before fees and taxes, etc.
Same build now touches $98k before fees and taxes.
Motor Trend did this on purpose
