Finally, we have a look at the Lightning and R1T side by side.

I'm really anxious to see the official mileage ratings. It's hard to believe the Lightning will have about the same range as the R1T given the size difference, yet Ford says it should be around 300. Fingers crossed.

Wow! Like the Lightning has his little kid brother tagging along. Great pic to compare. Thanks

Oh, yeah and I am sorry but the Rivan in my humble opinion is fuggly compare to the F-150. Guess I am opinionated towards trucks that look manly.

The rivian is just plain fugly.

Yeah, I'm really hoping they release the official EPA rating soon. I really expected F150 to need 150 kwh battery in order to hit 300 miles, release surprised they have one the same size as the R1T.

The Rivian actually weighs more and has 2 more motors over the Lightning. These are some reason to believe they'll be similar despite the Lightning's larger footprint.

Well... Sort of. The Rivian isn't even plugged in, so it's not charging.

An EV blocking a charger it doesn't need is no less jerkish than an ICE vehicle blocking an EV charger.

Charging etiquette should be a mandatory class when buying an EV.

Damn dude, maybe he just pulled in or just uncoupled. Maybe the Rivian driver took the picture. Calm down.

Would it be proper etiquette to hook up a tow strap and drag the offending vehicle across the parking lot? I hope so.

 

[CRAIGC540]

That thing is to small

The R1T may be smaller in size but it's payload and tow capacity is well aligned with the Lightening's.

I am calm. I'm also posting from experience. When my battery gets low, and I pull up to a charger with a car parked in that spot not even charging, it gets old.

Many of us have had to redirect to different chargers or simply wait it out for the person to leave due to this exact scenario.

Either you don't drive an EV regularly, or you live in the land of milk and honey where nobody takes up EV charger spots without charging, because people who have been ICED know the frustration I speak of.
