All are welcome to share feedback and stats as well! I work for a dealership and I am the EV Lead person so I enjoy hearing each experience!

Do you have the diagnostic equipment at the dealership to measure battery health?

Yes they do, I just do not have the vehicle everyday since its my partners. This is the once in a blue moon situation for service during the week lol

Update!!!!

Ponylicious hit a milestone today, 75,000 miles!!? These were from a photo op I took a few days ago. It has had its fair share of issues, but was pretty ironed out before 50k. We love this car and plan to ride it until the wheels fall off ?

Which may be next Christmas at the rate you're racking up the miles! ?

We just passed 40,000 miles on ours (80% of that road trips). I thought that was a lot but it's nowhere close to yours! We love it too, despite some issues.

It’s going to be interesting to see how the next 75k falls into place. It’s certainly serving it’s purpose as dependable cost effective transportation that ISNT A TESLA in California.

@dixiekidd88 do you think you are going to hit 150k in the next two years? It’s crazy the amount of miles you have already, I drove my Select a lot I thought, and in roughly 20 months of ownership I was at 24k. My GTPE looks like it’s on track for more, 7k clocked in by me since late February (had 2.8k when I got it). I’m really excited to see how the battery holds up with such big mileage numbers that you are doing.

Good thing they are far away ? he was not happy seeing a copycat! lol

It’s been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Ford even copied his idea for the Lightning. ?

Seriously, someone get this person an OBD2 reader! Battery health at 75k (along with some description of charging habits) would be a super valuable data point IMHO.

Averaging 2,777 miles a month (75,000 / 27 months)
It’s going to be somewhere around 54 months of ownership so another 2-1/2 years roughly.

I’m looking into getting one, everyone is asking about it. We didn’t buy it for range so it’s not a major concern but would be important to know going forward. 95% charging is level 2 at home or work.

Maybe 1-2 times a month of supercharging if we forgot to plug in overnight ??‍ ?

Glad others are racking up miles quickly to prove the car doesn't fall apart after the warranty expires. I am doing about 2000 a month (not sure how) so I am glad to read others who are pushing it harder than I am. Any noticeable range loss now that you hit 75K?

Glad to hear about the maintenance. That's what I am most excited about.

Holy smokes. I have been rotating my tires every 3K or so. I am getting close to the 4th rotation after 18-1/2 months. One nearly 1200 mile road trip, a couple of 300+ mile duck hunts included in that mileage. You guys are road monsters! ??

I haven't noticed any significant range loss at 40k miles yet. My battery health shows 94.5%. Not sure what that really translates too. I'm guessing it might be a loss of total battery capacity, but that the BMS might be be taking it out of the upper buffer first to keep my usable capacity at 88 kWh. If so, there's a point where that will get used up and I'll start seeing the usable capacity (thus range) decrease. (And that's just my guess at how it's managing it.)

I did a 91% charge a few days ago (5%-96%). Took 79.6 kWh from the DCFC charger. 91% of 88 is 80, so that fits. However, that 79.6 was reading on the charger itself (what it delivered). We know there's some loss in the charging process, so I surely got a few kWh less than that. Not sure how much though.

I've rotated mine twice in 40k miles. The tires are still pretty good, although I'll probably look to get a new set before this winter sets in to have good snow traction.
