Have you ever bought something that didn’t really live up to the hype? I know I have.
There is a YouTube channel called Jetters Garage and our attention was directed to a video entitled “Ford Watched My Viral Lightning Video – Amazing What They Said)” which was a follow up to a video entitled “Why I regret buying a Ford Lightning! (EV Electric Truck))“. Jet is not new to EVs, having owned a Tesla Model S for seven years in San Diego, California.
That is a click-bait title if ever I’ve seen one, and I admittedly fall for click-bait often, but I was intrigued and started with the first video. Jet outlines the pros and cons of his new 2023 F-150 Lightning in the video and reveals his experience on a recent road trip. (At the time of this post, the video is 2 months old with 571K views.) His observations are interesting, yet not unexpected, regarding a newly introduced car model. These videos are must-see if you’re considering purchasing an F-150 Lightning.
This brings us to our discussion of his videos and his experience in general. Brent and Ben discuss some of their perceptions of** living in southeastern Kentucky (SeKY) versus SoCal**. We talk ownership, charging in public, and electric rates, including **time of use (TOU) **and why it makes sense there and not here.
**Does Jet’s experience differ greatly from someone in small-town America? **Listen to our opinion and feel free to weigh in with your own.
