Just got the order email (zero hour res.) but maybe running isn't the word we should use for EVs?
I do apologize for forgetting this forum has a dearth of good humor.
I'm not surprised. EVs are based more on political lobbying and leverage than classical economic principles. The EV F150s will go to the big metropolitan areas where the politicians have spent taxpayer monies for "green" lobbying. Ford won't take into account where the reservation holders live...
Wine growing as farming, lmao
I live the idea of proving their utility with farming, but... this is a joke of a dog and pony show for CA (SF, Bay Area) Lightning buyers. They probably didn't get as many reservations from that area as their Three Marketeers predicted and this is the best idea...
I wish I could have heated and cooled seats with the XLT Sport cloth seats.
Also. The odds of Rivian making a decent vehicle with QC better than the atrocious Teslas look pretty bleak.
I expect Ford to go back and only allow Commercial/Fleet buyers to order the Pro because they want a foothold on the potentially large orders.
I want a loaded XLT Sport version, but I may have to go Lariat.
I think using campgrounds to recharge every few hours might be the only way to do a long towing trip and that would add several days to any decent trip.
My guess-ti-math is:
180 miles is the maximum range for towing. You're looking at a more likely 10-stop halfway and 20-stop cross country...
Just rambling on a lot of flack Ford has received about their release dates the past few years: Fall doesn't end until the second half of December and it always surprises me that so many people think it's over before December just like Spring goes later than probably most people on the street...
Just got off the phone with "The Lightning Team" who said that the ordering opens up in December... not that they're right, but they said it in a way that they actually believe that'll happen.
*I'd like the first year, but won't torture myself again after the Bronco launch.
Patience is the key to not losing your mind with these releases of radically new vehicles in the modern supply chain crisis.
I am on the same wavelength here. The main difference between this launch and the Bronco is that if this doesn't work out with someone's timing, then there are tons of...
There are some ridiculous aspects of the article, but it's almost like people forgot about sensational journalism since it took over the entirety of news outlets.
The point about Biden's EO is the most ridiculous, but I want to side-step any political discussion. Manufacturers have been allowed...
