Electric F-150 Lightning soaring

[frenk]

Apparently, our american friends want to go full electric:

Now, 150,000 pre-orders is a serious figure. Any comment, @bobcat?

@Frenk, that’s a mighty impressive preorder book. I would be interested in knowing in the real world how they perform. I suspect that in the real world of operations there will some limitations. The future in coming sooner than we think 🙀

Is this built on the new Rivian “skate” chassis?. I know Ford own a portion of Rivian just so they could use their chassis.

@DaveRS3: I really don’t know. Maybe something on their homepage?

@bobcat: For a Swiss this truck is a silly car anyway. But I can understand John Doe living in Bolder, Colorado. Although, skiing in Aspen might become tricky with charging over night. And Kansas City for Thanksgiving might be quite a challenge, energy wise 😉

But who knows, maybe Joe Biden has plans already for a smart grid and Texas will have heating in winter from the pooled F-150 batteries 😎

@Frenk,  there maybe trouble ahead if they cannot get their trucks charged when they want to. Hopefully there’ll be some electrical infrastructure in place if not those yanks will be up in arms

I wonder if this will come to the UK following the pending trade deal.

I had a Rivian in my dream garage till I found out George Soros, the Globalist rich prick has invested in them (along with investing in bringing as many migrants as possible to the UK and US).

F150 it is then. Or will it be the Tesla truck – that thing looks wild but I quite like Elon Musk.
