Like to post an update to the cap and millage, I personally have not seen any reduction of range with the cap on my truck, I just made a 530 KM trip (each way) with 1000 pounds in the back of the truck and we got very good range driving at 95KM or 59 mph. We took a different route back and was travelling at 115 km or 71Mph and the truck got better then estimated range expected, we were 1000 pounds gear and 3 guys in truck.
Anyone know if box is same as ICE for things like Caps or tonneau cover
Anyone know if the box is same as ICE F150's for things like Caps or tonneau covers, hoping I can get a cap for my truck and was thinking of ordering a little bit early so I do not have to wait if any supply issues with that type of addon?

ya my 95 km speed on 7 to Ottawa was great but my 125km speed Ottawa to Kingston was eating batt and then Kingston to Toronto 115 was much better. I did a fast charge in both directions but I just watch the km readout on the app and only charge what i need to get to my destination. Was easy and flawless experience and bluecruise was awesome. My math said I could have made it via hwy 7 from Richmond hill to Ottawa but there are no fast chargers for a very long stretch on hw7 so I chose not to chance the guessometer and make sure I had plenty to get there in the dead charger zone.I’m in Canada also - are you seeing your range and state of charge going down overnight with the colder temps? Also on your 530km trip did you stop for a charge to top up ? I’ve noticed my highway driving is killing my mileage (I’m getting 3.5km/kWh combined city highway mileage). But the highway trips are hurting range. I may need to slow down. Going 120km on the 401. Will try 115 maybe even 110km/h on my next highway trip
reduced ranges people are posting are very real at higher speeds in a blunt nosed truck, I am not sure "yet" what the optimum max speed is but seems like over 100 km speed is max for not losing range so you have to balance range vs charge time which is better 30 min charge or slow down and maybe make your trip without a charge stop, if you have to stop regardless then I choose more speed.
Tesla's are ripping by me guess better aero makes less loss at speeds.
