The running boards are usually level with the center of a regular sized car door or the bottom of most suv's doors. If someone parks next to you and opens their door, it'll hit the running boards rather than your door. Only exception would be a truck or suv thats the same height as the F150.
For daily driving you'd usually only charge to 70%. So that is 210 miles of range. If you drive around 75 mph, that is about a 20% drop, so 168 miles of range. That is with the standard battery, extended range would be 179.2 miles of range.
Going below 20% is fine as long as you don't let it...
The 48 kWh per 100 miles doesn't come anywhere close to 320 miles of range with a 131 kWh battery. That would only be 272.91 miles. Not sure where the 320 miles is coming from unless they made the extended range battery bigger. Would need a 154 kWh battery to go 320 miles.
If it's any consolation, I think Ford will do a better job dropping ADM for 23 model than they will for 22. I'm still expecting my dealer to screw me on delivery day.
I think its more of a supply issue than demand. Plus they had to build a whole new plant, and even for Ford, it'll take time to get up to 100% production.
EVs are not ready for mainstream yet. It would be impossible to do a roadtrip in a non-tesla right now if only 10% of pickups on the road were EVs. EA stations have so few chargers, there would be long lines at every one. Tesla seems to be the only manufacturer that cares about DC fast charging...
The biggest issue is the DC fast charging infrastructure isn't going to be able to keep up with the number of EVs being produced. Ford doesn't seem interested at all in addressing this. Look at how many chargers Tesla is having to add due to their volume.
