According to the MAHB, the world's oil reserves will run out by 2052, natural gas by 2060, and coal by 2090. As oil gets hard (and more expensive) to pump out of the ground, the prices will go up 10 times in price long before we run out of it, all due to extreme competition for what little fuel is available. If gas will cost $50 per gallon by 2035, we better have electric vehicles so we can fill up with the much-cheaper locally-sourced coal-generated electricity.

If you go to visit someone away from home and you're going to be there a few hours same thing. Throw them 5 bucks if you need to. May sound silly but you can buy a small portable generator used. Keep it in the frunk. Get somewhere without power? You can charge enough to get you to a charging station.

Finally! An EV truck for the windshield cowboys.

RADIO VOICE! Chillax so I can bro.

Yet another Lightning review which doesn’t compare standard F-F150 UCE payload and towing vs range. Why? Because they want to sell something which will inevitably get resold because it really doesn’t size up. You can talk all day about 0-60 times, and ignore the range consequences of drawing that much energy from the batteries. The whole EV push is putting the cart before the horse. The horse is safe and efficient micro nuclear reactors. Recognize that vehicle carbon output in the US is 2% of the global amount.

China literally dwarfs our carbon output by twice as much but no one's got the balls to say anything EV is a scam screw it all of it is we are living to fund our masters in DC left is right up is down and electric cars are the best thing ever

Not everyone tows with their F-150 or if they do tow, they're not going far. Lots of people use it to get their groceries and drop off the kids at school or to help friends move. Sales guys visit their clients. Lawn care dude making house calls towing lawn mowers and leaf blowers. If you need to tow a horse or a boat 300 miles then the Lightning isn't for you, otherwise, it's cool af and would be awesome plus very cheap to run

@@anthonyc8499 Well of course, however a baseline F-150 does everything. So IMO, BEV’s are a poor solution until higher energy density batteries are here. And there is absolutely no need to for this truck. What we need is modular nuclear power, and synfuels or hydrogen diesels.

@@Radarcb329 battery technology is here today. The things you’re talking about might as well be pixie dust. Why don’t you like the idea of someone just plugging their truck into the same outlet they’ve got for their motorhome out in the driveway so they can do what they want when they want? If the Lightning ain’t for you, then don’t stress about it. Just don’t throw a fit when people have zero cause to want to drive 3 miles out to the 76 station and back to fill up for $50-100 when it costs $10 at home and I can square up on the bill every month or two.

@@anthonyc8499 You have no idea what I want and your claim that I am stressing when telling the truth about the fact that Ford isn’t providing the full stats for what these trucks can do, is ridiculous.

A buddy rented a Tesla for a trip Ohio to Florida. He had to stop 5 times at an hour each to recharge the battery to make the trip one way. A conventional car would have had to stop once for about 15 minutes to refuel to make the same journey. A 10 hour trip became 15. Bah Humbug. Certainly nothing against Ford and other auto makers trying to fulfill new impractical regulations.

I really wouldn't feel too comfortable to wade in an EV.

“the most aerodynamic F-150 ever”….? I guess the jellybean 97-03 body-style was a boat anchor in the wind lol!

I for one don't like the idea of an electric truck. Just my opinion.

I like both the F-150 and Silverado 🤔 I’m going with GM

No electric for me

Ford has a big problem, they can't make and deliver the trucks they offered. Maverick, about a year and a half wait, lightning probably a year. Mach E months. They are leaving tons of money on the table as people walk away.
