Picked up an 18 Navigator

[Macgyver]

Navigator is gone, Mach E is it's replacement. Pictures once I get paint corrected, wheels and tires show up and tint over the next 2 weeks.

Well that's quite a change !!!

Navi was fun but as gas prices continue to go up and the self driving and other cool features of the Mach E it's a no brainer plus $7500 off my tax bill next year is win/win/win

We got an Edge 2020 ST last year. The wife was not ready to go Full electric. Tropic Thunder states. Never go full electric. lol

So you dont get the $7500 off the sticker then ?

Nope, you take it off your taxes, I also get $1000 off my electric bill as a rebate for buying one. They're looking at changing it to $12,500 which would be amazing.
The car is SO fun, all the weight is in the battery about 7" off the ground and it has amazing power with the AWD setup. I have wheels and tires coming, doing tint, ceramic coating and paint correction and clear bra next week. 20x10.5 with 295/40/20 and 20x9 with 255/45/20 should fit pretty easily.

I was curious why you didn't go for the Mach-E GT coming out this year. I was thinking about making that move myself.

Tags were due on the Navi, no GT yet. Between skipping tags and car payment that was 1/2 my down.
Also GT is around $20K more all in, only 1 second faster 0-60 and less range. This is the wife's DD, not really worried about speed although it is pretty dang quick. Next year I'll more than likely pick up the Lightning, I have a reservation in on one.
One of the big side effects for my house once the charger comes out is the ability to keep the EV plugged into my house and augment my solar batteries. My electric bill is mostly impacted by a load calculation, that load level (max 1/2 hour kW during the peak hours for the month) usually costs me $300 to $400 for the month. By having one of the EV plugged in I can run on battery from late afternoon until 9PM thus keeping my electric bill in the summer to under $100 all in. Solar batteries are about $10K per 10kWh, the Mach E is 100kWh batteries and the Lightning should be close to 175kWh. That means I've paid for 275kWh of batteries which would allow me to run off grid for like 48 hours easily if both are plugged in and solar would recharge them during the day.

Great research.
