My neighbor the surgeon has one, along with a Porsche Boxster. He seems happy with it but he has a choice of what to drive.
For me, it's too big. I'm charging on a 120V circuit as we slowly move to the new house, which has a 240V EV charger. That works OK for my Chevy Bolt EUV but the Lightning would need a lot more time on the outlet.
There are devices on Amazon that combine two 120V plugs into one "240V" outlet that's supposed to charge faster but I would be concerned about it burning my garage down.
If they were making a Maverick-sized EV truck, I would be a lot more interested than in the Lightning.
A neighbor has a Rivian 1T. That's more the size I'd like, except it's wider than my Honda Odyssey mini-van.
There are definitely trade-offs with an EV right now. My wife was concerned about taking the Bolt into Olympic National Park. I did several hours of research on where to charge and things worked out fine. That still meant there were times where I was watching and waiting for the shared 240V connectors in the park to open up.
