Best replacement battery?

[Obi Wong Kenobi]

I have AntiGravity lithium batteries on the M3’s and they’ve been great. I think an issue for the trucks would be the extreme temps some may live in that don’t do well with lithium batteries. Plus, they’re quite expensive and the weight savings isn’t worth it for a 6500 lbs truck.

Even hotter than normal underhood temps?

I don't think even Tucson gets quite that toasty.

Imagine being in Tucson and running the truck hard. Probably will exceed the 140 degree operating temps they recommend!

The lithium batteries also won't do well in winter in colder climates. EVs have systems in place to help counter those environments (their range still suffers though), but a battery like the Antigravity does not.
