500 MILE DAY TRIP IN MY F150 LIGHTNING TO VISIT THE OUT OF SPEC TRACK!

EV Channels Review

This video documents a 500-mile, one-day road trip in a 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat to the Out of Spec track. The reviewer, Branden Flasch, highlights the truck's comfort for long distances and its capability, even on a track, though power limitations and tire performance were noted. Charging strategy was a key focus, with stops at Tesla Superchargers (including V4 posts) and a Mercedes/Alpitronic DC fast charger. The reviewer experienced some navigation quirks with Apple Maps and a tight finish to Greensboro, arriving with only 3% state of charge. Lessons learned include the importance of optimizing charging stops, especially the initial one, and accounting for real-world energy consumption during activities like track driving or using HVAC. Despite the challenges, the reviewer concludes that such a long trip is doable in an EV and expresses continued satisfaction with the F-150 Lightning's comfort and the assistance of the Comma AI system.
