Yes, I agree with you actually. I guess the point I intended to make is that it's a fallacy for "most consumers" under most conditions (e.g. daily driving) but.... point taken, it is certainly not so for all consumers and all road-trips. At the end of the day, its probably a small percentage...

I never would have guessed there were enough chargers near TAT waypoints to make the trip work without extra capacity and/or generators. That's an incredible testament to the fallacy of range anxiety for most consumers, albeit not necessarily yet for overland range anxiety.

Good point on the weight and power, but it is worth noting that the Lightning won't be as light in the rear like most ICE trucks because it has a "skateboard" style design. Ford builds a ladder frame and then fills the area between the axles with batteries, which means there will be a better...

A writer for InsideEVs got to visit Ford's Product Development center and noted a screen range estimate of 472 miles inside the Lightning's control screens. See article here. That lends credence to YouTuber Marques Brownlee's conjecture that the 300 range is a conservative estimate that is...

Erstwild, when it comes to the window unit options: you might want to consider a Midea's U Shaped unit. They're basically a packaged mini-split system, which would allow you to place the noisy compressor outside the wall of your camper, depending on how you designed its installation. Other...

Anyone else doing last minute holiday shopping? I thought a thread with jeep-owner gift ideas might be helpful to others. To make this thread useful to the widest spectrum of gift-givers, I would suggest the following parameters: gifts for the jeep owner $200 or less suggestions that are as...

I like it. You can bring a lot less if you can use everything multiple different ways.

Not mine, just noticed it on Craigslist: $3,400 - https://capecod.craigslist.org/for/d/brewster-spacekap-plus-workport-fits/7030024704.html

It's all about the rust... I did a ton of work to mend drip-line rust along my roof and it's coming back again. Once it gets going, it's insidious. As others have mentioned: check the floor-pans, behind the upper windshield gasket, rocker panels (below each door) and behind the rear plastic...

Another vote for KERMIT! So solid and stable that you can lean on one armrest with your entire body weight to aid getting in and out as easily as any camp chair I've ever used. It feels more like campaign furniture than a camp chair. I own other chairs (helinox, crazy creeks, etc.) and only...

Agreed. So clean. I hope we get to see more!

Really slick work! The mounting frame is ingenious. I'd love to see a close-up photo of the flip-out work surface over the stove. I'll be curious if it impedes access to the fridge and if that ends up being a nuisance over time. Really well done, cheers.

awesome! I would vote to cut the roof and give it the camper treatment. Keep us posted!

please tell me about the rear hatch "spoiler" trim on the 2dr. It looks pretty sharp with an integrated light.
