Hi Matt. Great review as always. One feature you didn't mention which is a major benefit to owners - the ability to use the battery in the F150 to power your home in an emergency! It is essentially your own power station sitting in your garage. A brilliant feature that is highly convenient and could actually save lives. Very few electrical vehicles have this feature (including Tesla's).
Requires about $7000-$8000 to install the home integration system for that. Ford has it contracted through Sunrun and you can only use them. Which is why none of the other car manufacturers do it. The take rate would be extremely low.
@@JFGGG13 Europe simply charges 4x what Americans pay for electricity. So even during summer heatwaves, they’re reluctant to turn on the A/C. Most homes don’t even have A/C. But Austria, Spain, and Switzerland have started warning their citizens of potential future outages in 2021. In the U.S. most outages happen in rural areas where’s it takes a while to restore a downed power line or California where they underproduce in the summer. I’ve never been without power for more than a few hours for my whole life, that was due to an exploded transformer in front of the house.

This was awesome lol. I always love watching our UK friends talk about pick up trucks. Here in Northern Alberta Canada it seems like 80 percent of the vehicles on the road are full size pick ups. We love our trucks. Great Video!
It already killed the Tesla Cybertruck by simply already being available to buy. I believe the cybertruck might be Tesla's first flop. Its styling only appeals to Tesla fanbois.
I'm not a Tesla fan boy.... I own a Polestar 2. I have a preorders for a Cybertruck but need to see what the final version looks like, the features, etc... May not even get one in the UK, like the F150 or Rivian.... Maybe one day.
I am not American and not a fan of trucks, but this truck has so many great features that I fully appreciate why someone living in a remote countryside/mountain area would be interested in it. Really impressive 🤩
I come up to downed trees blocking the entire road a lot more often than I have seen moose in the road, and I lived in moose country for half my life. If you live anywhere that has moose you want the bottom of your windshield to be as close to 6' off the ground as possible. Much lower and you just take out the legs and have 1,500 lbs of deer coming across your hood. If you do come across one and manage to stop, make sure that you honk your horn and flash your lights. They love that.
Why not get a jar and put in your center console? Those coin holders only hold like 5 of each coin. After it’s full, you just gonna throw them around the cab anyways
I think this is a thing in North American vehicles due to toll roads where you pull up to a toll booth and throw change into a basket that feeds a coin counter
There is no shortlisting it. This begins at 45k$, it is half the starting price of a Rivian or an Hummer. Most F150s are mid-range, around 55k. It is still at least 25k less than its "competitors". This truck is a no-brainer, of course you should go right ahead and buy it.
That toy will cause a nuke plant meltdown if used like real pickups that haul heavy loads and pull heavy trailers. Spending $50,000 to get to work and haul groceries home from Wal-Mart is ridiculous.
@@roaddog7542 Most trucks are sold exactly for that Walmart runs. A tiny fraction of them are actually work trucks, or even hauling shit. And at 45k, it is one of the most affordable electric cars in the market, especially if you put into account its capability and equipement level.
Love this truck! Awesome feature that it can power your whole house for three days! Looks cool and very practical! Right now it’s the only EV I’d consider buying!
Not sure you can since it's a proximity key...if it's near the vehicle you can unlock it...and inside the vehicle is near the vehicle in my opinion 🤷♂️
For such a heavy vehicle, 40m stopping distance from 60mph is actually pretty impressive. Highway Code would have you believe that a 'normal' car would take 55m. I'd be interested to find out if there are any cars tested by CarWow over the past say 5 years have taken anywhere close to that distance to stop. Mat's 911 Turbo S takes only 29m - that's 26m less than quoted in the Highway Code!
Plus May was on top of the white line I can be quite slippy adding to the stopping distance. He was probably on the white line because The pick-up needed that much of the road
I think this is perhaps the most significant electric vehicle for sale in America. The F150 has been the number one selling vehicle in America for years. ford in their wisdom decided to make the electric variant just like the regular one. This is not going to convert any tow haulers But it will create a completely new segment of buyers for Ford. People who have never even considered a truck, Like me, also people who would have never considered an electric anything. The spacious luxury car interior. Its ability to carry almost anything. the bonus covered storage in the front. Ford answered questions with this truck that no one had even asked yet. The other 2 available options may be more dynamic but they will never be as everyday approachable And familiar as a Ford pick up.
Love my pickup - sure it is a compromise in nearly every way but at the same time so versatile. Shame we won't really get anything like this in the UK in a slightly smaller format. The Rivian I feel misses the mark in many respects for the core pickup market.
I love the keypads on Fords. I have the "hidden" kind on my Escape. When my girlfriend and I went to the beach, it was the best thing ever. We just went again in her car and she doesn't have a keypad. With thieves these days I don't leave stuff out of my reach so I couldn't go in the water. Keypad may be ugly on some models, but it is glorious.
As an American who owns a 2023 F150 Lighting (ext range, Lariat) I have to say I love it. I'm glad I bought mine. Though, the Rivian R1T is a good second choice truck. The way to look at the two is that F150 is a work and general purpose truck while the Rivian is an outdoorsy adventuring truck. Each is capable of doing what the other does in general, but are best at what they're meant to do.
Or just hear me out, You could buy this truck in Canada for $115k (as listed assuming they don’t add a mark up ) or you could buy a comparable 5.0 or 3.5 ecoboost fully loaded for just under $68 k . Then you can use the $47k to pay for 17 years worth of fuel and oil changes or pay for 8 years worth of fuel and oil changes plus have the difference to replace the whole drive train in 8 years.
Bravo! At least someone on youtube comment section has brains. My buddy bought a used 5.0 with tow package before the pandemic for 22,000 70k miles. I bought mine used at auction 10 years ago for even cheaper. I swear the media pays people to comment on electric reviews on UA-cam. You talk to most people and they could barely afford a $35,000 car let alone $100,000 vehicle. Yeah they said $39,000 starting but that was marked up $8,500 before first delivery. And it was one of the magazines that showed a Lariat was 80,000 and The Limited was $92,000. If you're selling a product that is worse than the one you're trying to replace wouldn't you want to make it cheaper?
I would buy this car for the suspension, the front trunk, and the ability to charge my home for 3 days. IMO Ford should have made the Hybrid with a bigger battery, independent suspension and a factory bed cover and you have the perfect American vehicle.
I just priced it out on Ford's website builder for $83K CAN, with the long range battery and the high output. This is a very good value for new tech, but not setup for towing. Just light-duty stuff. Way to go Ford!
This truck is awesome if you live in the city, never tow and ignore the fact that the batteries and electricity to charge the thing are made/powered by .... Super reliable Fossil fuel 😅 environmental friendly ish? 😅
Ironically enough Lightening's short range is far more appropriate in Britain. The max 320-mile range is acceptable in America only if we're talking about commuter vehicles. Pickups are for the wide open spaces. An ICE truck with a V8 has about 500 miles of range, refuels in 10 minutes and there is no shortage of fueling options.
It's true. I think the f150 would work over there if it wasn't for it's size. I guess that's where the ranger comes in. Brits already like Ford as a brand so maybe an electric ranger will be the one that turns them to the dark side.
Agreed. We are NE of DC and NW of Baltimore. My in-laws have a place near Fort Lauderdale, we have friends in KC and family along the north shore of Lake Ontario. I want to be able to get to any of these destinations in a single day of driving. The less fuel stops the better. My Cummins equiped Ram 2500 could do the longer trips (1,000 to 1,100 miles) on 2 tanks of fuel (600 miles per tank).
Matt matt matt, do your research man. The keypad is not annoying, its for locking your key in the car when you go out to do something active or where you might get wet, damage, or lose your key. Its been a ford hallmark for a long time. Also the seat thing locks into place when you don’t pull it out all the way. And also Ford doesn’t give you bed covers because they want you to be able to choose the kind you like from any third party.
the keypad isn't for "lost keys" its for locking the keys and other belongings inside the vehicle so you don't have to worry about them being stolen by leaving them unattended.
But thieves can get in anyways there's a reason why Ford's where I live are one of the most stolen vehicles that pad is wireless with a scanner I can get in that Ford easier than most especially if I wait for you to punch in that code 😎
That key pad is the best feature that Ford has ever done. Costs about $3 to put in the truck and I have used it daily for the past 20 years. Never removed my keys from my truck ever.... So I can never loose them.
It wins by default. And by 2025 we may possibly see a revised cybertruck announced to be launched in 2035 sooo we'll roll one of these f150's out then to FINALLY get the comparison review.
Well you forgot the fact that it could tell you how much pay load you have in the back and automatically calculate what your range is going to be based on what you’re towing or what you loaded up. No it doesn’t have a cover on the bed like the Rivian but leaves and debris that go in when it’s being retracted never come back out so you know what you’re gonna have to do eventually. Try getting in and out of the Rivian Frunk and you’ll find out as you lift your cooler in and out of that Rivian Frunk how strong your back really isn’t. Unfortunately for Rivian, even though they drove it all over the place testing in their half shafts aren’t holding up and have to be reengineered. Cheers
@@purwantiallan5089 Bro why are you so against the F150 lightning. I've seen you under multiple comments against it. Chill out, there is clearly a market and need for it.
Thanks for testing the F150 on English narrow roads. As an American, we often wondered how it would do on those narrow roads you have over there. Have you heard the latest news on F150's? They are NOT selling because FORD raised the MSRP to over $80,000 USD and THAT disqualifies them, from the EV credit of $7500... S150 lightning costs the average buyer almost $20,000 more per truck! So FORD has recently (a few days ago) a PRICE CUT of $10,000 per Vehicle off the MSRP! So LARIAT Trim with EXT Battery is now about $78,000!!! And currently promises deliver in about 1 month instead of previous 3 year wait list - YAY!
He didn't even mention what I think is the coolest feature: if you lose power at your home you can power your home from the Lightning for up to two days on a full charge.
easy maths 1 mile = 1.6 kilometer 300 miles = 3* 160 km = 480 km kwh per 100 km is divide 1/1.6 = ~~0.62 (why some manufacturers give 0-62 mph time ? because it's 0-100 kmh). So when the car uses 40 kWh per 100 miles it's 24.8 kWh per 100 km 40*0,62 or anything * 0,62 same with kWh per mile
@@craigix but already happen in Canada and the rest of the world uses metric system mainly for speed and distance :) But conversion is so easy you don't need to give specific numbers. In UK you are filling up in liters or gallons ? The funniest thing is US gallon is different than UK gallon :D
I have a Cybertruck preorder in the first 10k orders, and intend on taking delivery of it (also drive a ‘21 model 3 performance), but I strongly believe that the F150 lightning is one of the most important EVs on sale. This will usher in many more new cars and trucks and may prove to be that tipping point that the market needs.
I feel like Ford could have done better with the lightning, more range, more towing capacity but at least in my perspective it’s all right, I don’t mind getting one Ford also is coming with a 2nd EV truck, and this truck will be build from the ground up electric, will it replace the lightning? Don’t know
No one wants these because of the mileage and charging restrictions and the tipping point needs to be towards freedom not towards electric slavery tied to a coal plant
@@deltajohnny No you still need the key with you for remote start to work, you can't drive the car if you remotely started the car using the key it's only for the aircon & heater to work. The door still need to have the key next to it like normal keyless entry to open and you press the start button to drive off
@@whatever_12 I understand 👍👍 So, the key must be hidden, so the burglar doesn't know that it is inside... In my Volkswagen Golf7, if the key is anywhere inside the car, if, one presses the start button, the engine starts and the driver is able to leave. This system must be very comfortable. What I don't nderstand is why Ford does not offer this system in other countries outside of the US/Canada, or at least in Europe, as they don't offer this option 🙄🙄 Thank you very much for the information 😁
Lol it looks so strange to me to see so few pickup trucks in the UK! I live in Texas and here it seems like more than half the vehicles on the road are trucks and almost all the rest are SUVs!
I'm convinced Ford has got the recipe right to try and gently convince truck owners that electric trucks are okay. Is it perfect? No. But, we've got to start somewhere.
EV trucks are useless for most and will always be unless they build chargers on sidewalks so the ppl who park on the roads can charge their trucks which I don't see happening
@@dor1tomcswagger69 Actually I think it's useless only for those who want to tow or have very heavy payloads. Most people that I know (me included) with trucks don't do either.
on the motorway towing a few tons, the range is going to fall off a cliff to around 150 miles. These will not be bought by people using pickups for serious business.
It is stupid. Just put the gear selector on the dash or on the steering wheel. It only had to be located there to mechanically link with an ice tranmission. That entire centre area is wasted.
that key pad is for you to lock your keys inside for times when you go places you don't want to carry keys. like roller coaster rides or surfing. you can comeback from the activity and grab keys inside. well that's the theory. and you can set new codes easier for the users to remember. this feature is great if you like outdoor activities and don't wanna carry keys or any other things with you.
The E 150 is a van and ford still makes that it’s called the econoline 150 and they use it for ambulance cutaway chassis alone side the ford transit because the chassis is much more heavy duty.
Even with the lower limits for towing and hauling, my impression is that the first EV for most Americans will be a pickup. Particularly if the new EV credits can be used to offset some of the extra cost.
You forgot to mention that the keypad is so you can leave the keys inside the truck if you're going to the beach or doing anything that you might get the key fob wet
A UK registered F150 - insane for the UK. Great if you never want to park in a carpark and of course anyone driving a left hand drive in the UK is nuts. Needing an adapter to plug a UK plug into the sockets too..... awesome. Seriously anyone who buys this in the UK needs their head examining.
Theres actually quite a few of f150s in UK, in my city alone ive seen 4 - one of them being a raptor, another being an SVT and thr other 2 being “normal” models
@@aadi8568 I should have qualified my comment by referring to private individuals using it as a car and builders or tradesmen using it for it's load carrying. You've seen 4x F150s.... I live in London, I can walk for 30 minutes in any direction and walk past thousands of cars parked up, a decent number of them are EVs, I'll see loads of Ford Transits and 0 pickups of any description. I can't even recall the last time I saw a pickup of any description (it was probably a L200), not sure 'quite a few' is right, extremely few is probably more like it.... although maybe London isn't the best place to look for them ;o) Autotrader has 30 F150's for sale nationwide, by contrast it has 57 Aventadors for sale and 98 Ferrari 488's and 803 Teslas (all models).
@@corleth2868 well of course I am not saying f150s are common cars by any means, just that the area I live is relatively small (especially compared to london) However I would argue that normal size pickups like L200s Hilux Ranger etc. are very common sights outside of the city centre, they are everywhere where I live
I have seen many American pick ups and muscle cars here in London. One guy in Chelsea drives Dodge Ram monster truck and parks it on public road, if you ever past Radcliffe Gardens from Earls Court towards Thames, you will see it, its huge

Dont be jealous. At least the average person in the states can afford a used pickup. Not a EV of course. In Europe most people have these little death traps because thats all they can afford. The wealthy there drive bigger safer cars. So thats ok right? A nice 12 cylinder diesel Q8 or twin turbo v8 german sedan of your choice, with one person in it. Thats ok right? I saw Escalades and Navigators and full size pickup trucks in Europe. The difference is only the wealthy can afford them there.
@@samspade8830 Unlikely that Lightnings will be used for anything other than personal vehicles. Maybe a contractor driving to job sites, but not anyone who needs to tow or haul for work. The Lightning doesn't have enough payload or towing capacity for anything serious. Work trucks usually start at F250 and go up from there.
@@rich7447 I think it will be both. The towing capacity is 7700 lbs, so it can still haul, just not as well as a diesel engine, or regular combustion engine. I definitely see contractors lugging wood and other materials in the bed of the truck. But they'll probably be a few people who buy it to show off. Ford wouldn't have created this vehicle if they weren't trying to cater to the blue collar working class.
You can start the Mach E with a backup passcode on the center screen. I’m surprised Ford did not offer the same feature on the F 150 lightning. Unless your info is incorrect
Depending on how you get your electricity, how it was produced, how the battery in these cars is made, buying a large EV could do more damage to the environment than a similar gas car.
So true. in some situations EVs make a lot of sense but I really want to remember that the production of Batteries also pollutes a lot and batteries often don't get recycled instead they get buried or burnd, which releases toxic gases. A lot of poor countries can't affoard the expansive recycling process for lythium batteries.
@@USUG0 Maybe, but there is alos some truth behinde it. Electric cars also pollute and depending on the production of the car and the electricity it can be worse than with a small petrol car but a Truck never is environmental friendly, no matter if it runs on gas or electricity.

I come up to downed trees blocking the entire road a lot more often than I have seen moose in the road, and I lived in moose country for half my life. If you live anywhere that has moose you want the bottom of your windshield to be as close to 6' off the ground as possible. Much lower and you just take out the legs and have 1,500 lbs of deer coming across your hood.
If you do come across one and manage to stop, make sure that you honk your horn and flash your lights. They love that.

There is no shortlisting it. This begins at 45k$, it is half the starting price of a Rivian or an Hummer. Most F150s are mid-range, around 55k. It is still at least 25k less than its "competitors". This truck is a no-brainer, of course you should go right ahead and buy it.

For such a heavy vehicle, 40m stopping distance from 60mph is actually pretty impressive. Highway Code would have you believe that a 'normal' car would take 55m. I'd be interested to find out if there are any cars tested by CarWow over the past say 5 years have taken anywhere close to that distance to stop.

I think this is perhaps the most significant electric vehicle for sale in America. The F150 has been the number one selling vehicle in America for years. ford in their wisdom decided to make the electric variant just like the regular one. This is not going to convert any tow haulers But it will create a completely new segment of buyers for Ford. People who have never even considered a truck, Like me, also people who would have never considered an electric anything. The spacious luxury car interior. Its ability to carry almost anything. the bonus covered storage in the front. Ford answered questions with this truck that no one had even asked yet. The other 2 available options may be more dynamic but they will never be as everyday approachable And familiar as a Ford pick up.
So conflicted! Hate pickups but damn that's cool!

Love my pickup - sure it is a compromise in nearly every way but at the same time so versatile. Shame we won't really get anything like this in the UK in a slightly smaller format. The Rivian I feel misses the mark in many respects for the core pickup market.
I love the keypads on Fords. I have the "hidden" kind on my Escape. When my girlfriend and I went to the beach, it was the best thing ever. We just went again in her car and she doesn't have a keypad. With thieves these days I don't leave stuff out of my reach so I couldn't go in the water. Keypad may be ugly on some models, but it is glorious.
I thought this was going to be a boring review. But turns out I now want one 😂
As an American who owns a 2023 F150 Lighting (ext range, Lariat) I have to say I love it. I'm glad I bought mine. Though, the Rivian R1T is a good second choice truck. The way to look at the two is that F150 is a work and general purpose truck while the Rivian is an outdoorsy adventuring truck. Each is capable of doing what the other does in general, but are best at what they're meant to do.
Or just hear me out, You could buy this truck in Canada for $115k (as listed assuming they don’t add a mark up ) or you could buy a comparable 5.0 or 3.5 ecoboost fully loaded for just under $68 k .
Then you can use the $47k to pay for 17 years worth of fuel and oil changes or pay for 8 years worth of fuel and oil changes plus have the difference to replace the whole drive train in 8 years.
Pro move, and remember the battery problem would be appears at 6-8 years
Bravo! At least someone on youtube comment section has brains. My buddy bought a used 5.0 with tow package before the pandemic for 22,000 70k miles. I bought mine used at auction 10 years ago for even cheaper. I swear the media pays people to comment on electric reviews on UA-cam. You talk to most people and they could barely afford a $35,000 car let alone $100,000 vehicle. Yeah they said $39,000 starting but that was marked up $8,500 before first delivery. And it was one of the magazines that showed a Lariat was 80,000 and The Limited was $92,000. If you're selling a product that is worse than the one you're trying to replace wouldn't you want to make it cheaper?
I would buy this car for the suspension, the front trunk, and the ability to charge my home for 3 days. IMO Ford should have made the Hybrid with a bigger battery, independent suspension and a factory bed cover and you have the perfect American vehicle.
I just priced it out on Ford's website builder for $83K CAN, with the long range battery and the high output.
This is a very good value for new tech, but not setup for towing. Just light-duty stuff.
Way to go Ford!
@@WestCoastSupercarsandClassics Yeah it's priced ok on the website but if you go ahead and try to buy it, the dealer markup is horrendous.
3:32 nice
This truck is awesome if you live in the city, never tow and ignore the fact that the batteries and electricity to charge the thing are made/powered by .... Super reliable Fossil fuel 😅 environmental friendly ish? 😅
AGREE with your verdict. Rivian is the way to go, especially with the short steering circle vs. the Ford. Both are great vehicles!
Ironically enough Lightening's short range is far more appropriate in Britain. The max 320-mile range is acceptable in America only if we're talking about commuter vehicles. Pickups are for the wide open spaces. An ICE truck with a V8 has about 500 miles of range, refuels in 10 minutes and there is no shortage of fueling options.
It's true. I think the f150 would work over there if it wasn't for it's size. I guess that's where the ranger comes in. Brits already like Ford as a brand so maybe an electric ranger will be the one that turns them to the dark side.
Agreed. We are NE of DC and NW of Baltimore. My in-laws have a place near Fort Lauderdale, we have friends in KC and family along the north shore of Lake Ontario. I want to be able to get to any of these destinations in a single day of driving. The less fuel stops the better. My Cummins equiped Ram 2500 could do the longer trips (1,000 to 1,100 miles) on 2 tanks of fuel (600 miles per tank).
I really apprecaited your overview on the vehicle and glad you like it since I am picking my XLT up today 🙂
14:46 Rivian never brought the Tank-turn feature to consumer cars because they did not get it to word reliably
Matt matt matt, do your research man. The keypad is not annoying, its for locking your key in the car when you go out to do something active or where you might get wet, damage, or lose your key. Its been a ford hallmark for a long time. Also the seat thing locks into place when you don’t pull it out all the way. And also Ford doesn’t give you bed covers because they want you to be able to choose the kind you like from any third party.
You also missed the handle bar that pops out when using the step to climb onto the bed
the keypad isn't for "lost keys" its for locking the keys and other belongings inside the vehicle so you don't have to worry about them being stolen by leaving them unattended.
But thieves can get in anyways there's a reason why Ford's where I live are one of the most stolen vehicles that pad is wireless with a scanner I can get in that Ford easier than most especially if I wait for you to punch in that code 😎
Seeing an f150 drive around the u.k. has always been a dream of mine. It was even better than I expected.

Hi Mat, it will be nice to see a comparison between the Ravian, f150 L and the electric Hammer
That key pad is the best feature that Ford has ever done. Costs about $3 to put in the truck and I have used it daily for the past 20 years. Never removed my keys from my truck ever.... So I can never loose them.

Well you forgot the fact that it could tell you how much pay load you have in the back and automatically calculate what your range is going to be based on what you’re towing or what you loaded up. No it doesn’t have a cover on the bed like the Rivian but leaves and debris that go in when it’s being retracted never come back out so you know what you’re gonna have to do eventually. Try getting in and out of the Rivian Frunk and you’ll find out as you lift your cooler in and out of that Rivian Frunk how strong your back really isn’t. Unfortunately for Rivian, even though they drove it all over the place testing in their half shafts aren’t holding up and have to be reengineered. Cheers
Many test here in the US picked the F150. Rivin is more like a small truck than a full size.
Interesting car, though I wish Ford would bring the Maverick to Europe.
True but they are so practical and the Maverick is more town car than farm work horse.

Thanks for testing the F150 on English narrow roads. As an American, we often wondered how it would do on those narrow roads you have over there.
Have you heard the latest news on F150's? They are NOT selling because FORD raised the MSRP to over $80,000 USD and THAT disqualifies them, from the EV credit of $7500... S150 lightning costs the average buyer almost $20,000 more per truck! So FORD has recently (a few days ago) a PRICE CUT of $10,000 per Vehicle off the MSRP! So LARIAT Trim with EXT Battery is now about $78,000!!! And currently promises deliver in about 1 month instead of previous 3 year wait list - YAY!
Cybertruck Killer? Cant kill what isnt there
He didn't even mention what I think is the coolest feature: if you lose power at your home you can power your home from the Lightning for up to two days on a full charge.
Woud be helpfull if you had conversions to kwh per 100km and range in km
easy maths 1 mile = 1.6 kilometer 300 miles = 3* 160 km = 480 km
kwh per 100 km is divide 1/1.6 = ~~0.62 (why some manufacturers give 0-62 mph time ? because it's 0-100 kmh). So when the car uses 40 kWh per 100 miles it's 24.8 kWh per 100 km
40*0,62 or anything * 0,62 same with kWh per mile
Stop trying to make KM a thing, it's never going to happen in the UK (or the USA).
@@craigix but already happen in Canada and the rest of the world uses metric system mainly for speed and distance :) But conversion is so easy you don't need to give specific numbers.

Shmee’s lightning looks very cool
I have a Cybertruck preorder in the first 10k orders, and intend on taking delivery of it (also drive a ‘21 model 3 performance), but I strongly believe that the F150 lightning is one of the most important EVs on sale. This will usher in many more new cars and trucks and may prove to be that tipping point that the market needs.
I feel like Ford could have done better with the lightning, more range, more towing capacity but at least in my perspective it’s all right, I don’t mind getting one
Ford also is coming with a 2nd EV truck, and this truck will be build from the ground up electric, will it replace the lightning? Don’t know
The cyber truck will have 4680 batteries. At the end of the day, technology counts and Tesla always delivers that.
No one wants these because of the mileage and charging restrictions and the tipping point needs to be towards freedom not towards electric slavery tied to a coal plant

@@whatever_12 I understand 👍👍 So, the key must be hidden, so the burglar doesn't know that it is inside... In my Volkswagen Golf7, if the key is anywhere inside the car, if, one presses the start button, the engine starts and the driver is able to leave.

@@dor1tomcswagger69 Actually I think it's useless only for those who want to tow or have very heavy payloads. Most people that I know (me included) with trucks don't do either.

Dont be jealous. At least the average person in the states can afford a used pickup. Not a EV of course. In Europe most people have these little death traps because thats all they can afford. The wealthy there drive bigger safer cars. So thats ok right? A nice 12 cylinder diesel Q8 or twin turbo v8 german sedan of your choice, with one person in it. Thats ok right? I saw Escalades and Navigators and full size pickup trucks in Europe. The difference is only the wealthy can afford them there.
This is intended to be a work truck so I doubt this vehicle will occupy just single passengers and no payload.
@@samspade8830 Unlikely that Lightnings will be used for anything other than personal vehicles. Maybe a contractor driving to job sites, but not anyone who needs to tow or haul for work. The Lightning doesn't have enough payload or towing capacity for anything serious. Work trucks usually start at F250 and go up from there.
@@rich7447 I think it will be both. The towing capacity is 7700 lbs, so it can still haul, just not as well as a diesel engine, or regular combustion engine.

Depending on how you get your electricity, how it was produced, how the battery in these cars is made, buying a large EV could do more damage to the environment than a similar gas car.
This is a common fallacy.
So true. in some situations EVs make a lot of sense but I really want to remember that the production of Batteries also pollutes a lot and batteries often don't get recycled instead they get buried or burnd, which releases toxic gases. A lot of poor countries can't affoard the expansive recycling process for lythium batteries.
oil companies and some automakers worked hard to convince you that's the argument. And they succeeded
@@USUG0 Maybe, but there is alos some truth behinde it. Electric cars also pollute and depending on the production of the car and the electricity it can be worse than with a small petrol car but a Truck never is environmental friendly, no matter if it runs on gas or electricity.
