Saying goodbye to my Ridgeline, and hello to something that angers truck people more!
I knew this day would come. When I first bought my Ridgeline in 2017, I was just driving around and carrying bikes. That changed.
Now at 85k miles, after years of trips to the stone yard, the torque converter is on its last legs. I could replace it for $5000. That would be worth it, but I'd go right back to towing stone at 45 degree angles.
So I need something that can tow more for the short distances I travel (Berm Park, the stone yard, Lowes) and I want something fun for once. I also need a vehicle that the truck crowd will hate as much as the Ridgeline, and I'm pretty sure I found it!
Depending on what filter bubble you live in, the Lighting either gets 1,000 miles of range, or about 15. The battery will also fail after 1 year, or after 2,000,000 miles. It also costs either $150,000 or $25,000. It turns out that the truth is more nuanced, and so I'll give you the lowdown after driving it for a year or so.
