    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    And for very good reason. Embrace Jay Leno's views on them. These aren't here to obsolete these things we enjoy. They are here to give us a way to continue to enjoy them for a long time to come.

    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    There's so much wrong in what you just said it's hard to even begin. Let's focus on efficiency though, because your own points on efficiency and energy density are important to understanding with using electric drivelines is important. You mention lithium is 1/10th the energy density of...

    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    Entirely different problem/concern, but not invalid. Counter point to it, is in places where you already have rolling blackouts and peak rates, the Lightning can serve as a battery to charge during the lowest rates (overnight), and actually be used to provide power during the lower rates or...

    Bed Cap / Camper Shell Photos and Opinions

    So there are definitely some photos scattered about of bed caps / camper shells on the Gen 3, but hoping we can maybe get a thread with some comparisons in one place. I've been looking at what I can see, and trying to decide what I'd go for. The RSI SmartCap seems "popular", which makes sense...

    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    I think your understanding of electricity is a bit incomplete. Generally, we measure and pay in kWh, which is a KW for an hour, as the name would imply. An electric clothes dryer tends to use about 5-5.6kW while running. So, your 1 hour example, 5.6kWh. Here, where admittedly in the Midwest...
