Thank you. Very informative and extremely well presented.

Very professional, informative video! Just bought a model 3 and trying to learn all that I can. This was a great help! One note…. The rear passenger doors DO HAVE a mechanical release for the door. It’s a different design than the front doors that you demonstrated. Below the door handles, reach down and forward inside the lower door panel “cubby space” there is a small removable square cover. Inside that removable cover, there is a cord that pulls up and opens the rear door.

Hilarious that guys on different channels still show the 4 point method that we used 20 years ago by going through the wheel spokes . Definitely scratches the wheels and guys with nice cars are super picky ( and I don’t blame them ) thanks for showing people how to do it properly …..

Hey, I’m curious what the smallest one you can build this? I assume you need at least a 12,000 W generator in order to be able to use this for level two charging is that fair to say? I drive a Ford F150 lightning curious what I would need to do to be able to do something similar.

First night home with the R1T, I wake up the charging plug is stuck. This was invaluable. THANK YOU!

Still very useful

This was exactly what I needed. Simple. To the point. Informative. Thank you!

The wonders of EVs.I prefer a hybrid instead .

Woof daddy

no flatbed no tow that simple....

And if they've lost the keys?

Somebody actually purchased a Lightning?

There’s an emergency tow mode up to 50 miles

You can still tow it you gotta have it in neutral

People are making fun of me for back going back to the 90's vehicles.

Rollbacks go!!!

Ford just sucks.

Fuck Ford.

I wonder if there is a way to plug the charger directly to the cars battery and use the engine in the car to charge.

Correction: why it's a bad idea to buy a new truck

I don't understand why spinning a motor that is not energized would cause any problems. Failing that, you'd think all these brilliant engineers would have thought ahead about towing, and developed a workaround...

First rule - never buy one.

What?

Wow I’m shocked, ford still can’t make a a good vehicle, now they break on the road AND GET WORSE when you tow them back to get fixed. Good job ford, keeping the middle class down, one design after another!

Hi, good video, a question, if I have an inverter generator model 16,000 Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator w/ CO Alert DuroMax XP16000iH Can I do this by putting the wall connector on it, thanks 👍

No, he showed another reason why it's not a good idea to buy electric junk.

I wonder how long it would last also. Great idea but how much kwh does it provide per tank of gas and how long does it last? Did he actually try to charge his rivian completely with it? Did it over heat? Did it shut down midway? A lot of answer questions.

I like to see how you handle to lift this truck. Is easy speak on a video.

If it has 12V power and it can be powered on (and perhaps put into neutral if it has a pawl in the rolling drive unit) it should be fine. If I was an EE at Ford and I wasn't a complete moron, I'd design the inverter to handle a spinning motor without the contactors closed. It must be able to gracefully handle highway speed with the inverter powered up, in neutral or not (aside from an electric parking brake or whatever the lightning has)

Or you can just buy a real truck that can actually do truck things.

I’ll show you why it’s a bad idea to buy an electric vehicle lol

That’s so dumb I always rip the valance off my trucks anyway bc I don’t like how they look

Hi, does the fact that is not an inverter generator an issue? Is inverter requirement a myth?

Every vehicle pick up/tow shall be documented with pics and a short summary

I’m really wanting to do this. I’m wanting to make an overland rig with my lightning and just having the peace of mind to do it would be great. I was thinking about the Westinghouse 20000 but this one seems like it would do just as good for one vechicke.

I have never imagined a spoiler that slips down under your car's nose as you go faster. How tf does that even work?

Holy junk

This is the dumbest sh!t I've ever seen. They just cant help themselves adding more dumb sh!t to break 😒

What updates needed to be performed

Hi Chris, i have a 2022 f150 Lightning, and I'm trying to install a gooseneck hitch to tow a horse trailer. However, no one in my area (including dealership) knows what hitch is compatible with the Lightning. Do you know what brand and type of hitch I can get installed that will work? Thanks so much!

Ive gotten in to my share of arguments with tow guys assuring me that you can tow a rear wheel drive vehicle from the front as a long as … I always say no and make them dolly it, or call for a flat deck.

How would that count as a warranty issue? If you damage it you damage it

Im starting a mobile charging service thank you

It has tow hooks on the front use them

My ultimate solution to all this is just keep the old truck and forget about all this BS. No worries about finding a charger and charging times. Just wheel in to the next gas station I see and I ready together faster than my passenger can pee. Problem solved.

$1200 piece of plastic that might save $10 worth of fuel over the entire life of the vehicle. I hate what the automotive industry has turned into.

Best way is to not buy ev junk

So is it ok to wheel lift an electric f150 for instance? 🤔
