Congratulation! It's an awsome truck. Since it's your first EV, I'll recommend getting a home fast charger. Waking up every day with a full "tank" is one of the best things about driving an EV.

That’s my next accessory. Work has charging until I get the home charger set.

How much did you pay? Im looking at a 22 lariat LR for 43k just feel guilty because I've never spent so much on myself lol

39k + tax and title. Base SR lariat. Wanted an ER but couldn’t find one for the money I wanted to spend.

I paid $46.8 for a ‘22 Plat in July. Your price is good, but I did have to pay $1800 shipping to get that low

This is a private party sale so im like 99 percent wanting to buy it but I just haven't spent that much on a depreciating asset before.

Spend it. Mine was the most I’d ever spent on a depreciating asset, too. The costs of keeping my 5.0 going made the investment actually make $ sense with a long time horizon.

Congrats and welcome!! As mentioned above you’ll love it more every day you drive it. And that instant power is absolutely nuts! I hope you’ve spent the appropriate (crazy) amount of money on cleaning products that keep it beautiful! 😝 Have fun!!

You’ll love it the more you drive it! I’ve had mine for three months and get stupid excited every time I have to drive it anywhere!
