We should all know that if you are a non-Tesla vehicle owner you are going to be treated a whole lot different also personally me Hank I would’ve waited a few years before I bought an E van just to make sure they get all the kinks out
You should trade it in for the new GM all-electric van, the BrightDrop. There's also the "Grounded" RV on the BrightDrop platform. YES, the BrightDrop has the range you're looking for and it's AWD ðŸ¤
I practiced with an electric car in town and knew before I even pick up my e van in 2 weeks to get the tesla. Heading to pick up a 2023 e ford transit in 2 weeks for $29,000.00 with a $10,000.00 California rebate $19,000.00 for a cargo high roof e ford transit where Silicone valley has chargers all over. I am concerned about my trip from Missouri to California now that I may not be able to use adapter
I can't stand the look of the cyber truck it looks like a cardboard box toy. The cyber truck takes up so much parking. I am not looking forward to parking that van as my everyday car in Santa Cruz mountains
The sales man told me 200 miles, but I don't mind stopping and moving not to get blood clots. But in Santa Cruz I ran into free charging and broken chargers
I want to find out what a/c you are going to use. Tesla put the van out last night. I am going on a road trip in 2 weeks with the van to bring it home to use as my car
Race car driver said that the e van handles better than a BMW "crisp" acceleration is 0-60 in 13 seconds. Braking when you lift your foot off accelerator
I thought it does not want you to charge over 80%. Can you use the a/c and battery as you charge? I wonder if you can pull into a hotel with an electric charger and sleep in van as it is charging?
When you are charging you can stretch, go to the bathroom, get meals, hydrate, clean, organize, plan next stop. This was helpful thanks- you can see I am trying to plan for next 2 weeks with all the questions
Ford Transit e van… it's just a second generation Nissan leaf 150 mi range… I would just keep the Ford Transit van just buy a good 250 volt gas generator take long trips in . That's just my own opinion
I would think normal for last 10% to be much slower. What about Auto insurance rates? Have you ever run the A/C while parked with lights off overnight and how many kw/h does that consume? When charging does the credit card bill list the station and location or is that detail only in the Ford App?
Ford needs to work on their software. When you are charging they should show you the charging rate, the current range and give you the estimated time until it is done charging. Ford should be embarrassed to sell a van with 130 miles of range. Those vans are you primarily used by commerical businesses and that range is insufficient. It is just another segment that Tesla can dominate by offering better software, larger battery, better motor efficiency with a price that is 20% less. Looking at that Transit van, It seems like Tesla should be able to make one that cost less than a Model Y. ($42k)

You tell him Lola!!! Lola, knows…. . Learn to be still.
More Lola in the videos please.
sell it quick
Interesting info. A big hard pass for me, I'll keep my Ekko.
I just found out u are a electric vehicle guy. I'm a ev and gun nut. Funny it took this long to run across this channel.
Thank you, Hank and Lola for the drive along.
(Lola you’re super cute. We love you here in 🇨🇦 Toronto.)
Hank? That would be the ultimate dream to have a class B all electric and no ice engines to cause issues.
I am enjoying my MACH E thanks to your channel. I became “electrified “in my life.
And because of you, Hank, I purchased my first EV mountain bike. 🎉
You would have to be pretty gullible if you purchased one of those vehicles.

Does your cyber truck hum the same whay? Maybe it is the electric motor or safety-
Where did you get your metal carport?

I am getting a half a dozen locks for my van when I check into hotels with chargers
Mine was hit by hail- what else is going to happen?
I am going to take the Ford transit electric van to all chargers in 2 weeks
Be more of gentleman to Lola!
I like to do 400 miles in 6 hours and now if you have to stop an extra 2.5 hours for charging
I stop at 200 for gas once at 4 hours then finish driving
The sales man told me 200 miles, but I don't mind stopping and moving not to get blood clots. But in Santa Cruz I ran into free charging and broken chargers
I am glad I don't have the divider, first I was upset, but I would rather have more vision for driving and put up a thermal removeable blackout

I will be a local delivery nurse lol Home health. I can charge the van in between patient visits as I chart the previous info
Race car driver said that the e van handles better than a BMW "crisp" acceleration is 0-60 in 13 seconds. Braking when you lift your foot off accelerator
My sales person just now said that if I use the Tesla and something happens that it does not do anything with the warranty
I would suggest more security for your van before you put your belongings back in the van
One good thing about the van if someone steals it they won't go far lol
weird tesla did not have it for the front. It is only a learning curve then you can drive as much as yo want for 10.00 dollars v. 100.00

I am anti-tesla aka musk
I don't hear any buzzing- it might be a safety for people that cannot see you but can hear you

Why do you think Ford is abandoning the e-Transit?
It should be plug and play.
Lola gotta put up with it lol
