While F150 lighting isn't stainless steel, they are made from aluminum alloy, pretty good against rust.

    If you live in an area with harsh winters, your battery will degrade faster than usual. Do you want to a frame which is going to outlast an obsolete vehicle?

      cold weather causes the battery to self-discharge at a higher than normal rate, not degrade or become damaged. but i would be happy to upgrade my pack, all of which are designed to be swapped out easily and even quickly enough for re-charge by swap in some models, when the next quantum leap in electrolyte chemistry comes along.

      Opposite is true for leaf sans cooling in hot climates…

    Fair enough. They are two different construction. That being said, F150L has V2V/V2H charging, so that might be useful for a lot of folks who live in areas where infrastructure isn't amazing.

      Where did you see V2V mentioned? Or are you assuming it's possible due to the normal plugs? The V2H charging is an extra $7500 (included in the platinum model) for the interconnect to your house.
