That video was pretty neat. I did not take away from it "first gen dog."

Major shift in drivetrain and electronics, early reports indicate abysmal battery performance when towing. A lot to get sorted out in the coming months.

Towing with my Ford Lightning EV Pickup was a TOTAL DISASTER!

So it's 1/2 of the advertised range if you tow a 1500 lbs trailer and 1/3 of the range if you tow 4000 lbs. An expensive toy, basically. Btw, beware that if batteries in this EV catch fire, it will be impossible to extinguish, so keeping it in your garage will likely void home insurance.

They’ve been building F150s for years
