No question Andre is an asset to TFL, he both knowledgeable and very likeable. A perfect presenter.
Agreed 👍🏼
Sorry Roman... Go back to California.
Unlike the other one
@@helgewilliams6757 LOL, Roman is a square head who can't remember any details.
For me aesthetically the cyber truck is ugly as hell
It's worst styling than the Pontiac Aztec or the AMC Pacer.
For you, and for 100% of the population.
It is not for you then, mate..
Maybe the ugliest vehicle ever made
I seen one in calgary driving around. Ugly is an understatement.
25 minutes in & you still haven't said what Ford's announcement was.
I can't watch these with Roman anymore. Where's Nathan? I was genuinely interested in this topic but can't sit through half an hour of stupid opinions.
@@es.design Nathan is in California now. New TFL branch office
Lmao, ikr?
You serious? 2 minutes in.
Ranger Raptor > Tacoma trailhunter
I love TFL but your videos are too long. More killer less filler. Constructive criticism.
YES, Andre's excellent truck knowledge makes him and TFL my go-to knowledge source for truck information.
This video is about everything except Ford trucks
need to go to minute 37 :\
Ford needs to work on getting their recall number down. Better trucks = more trucks sold.
TLDR. The future of Ford trucks is less reliable and more expensive. My F-150 5.0 coyote had a bad VVT solenoid in year 2 P0012 error code. Took to dealer they they solved nothing when the computer was literally telling them what specific part was failing. They did some software nonsense that temporarily cleared the code instead of replacing the $40 solenoid. My check engine and same code reappeared a few days after wasting my time with dealer warranty service. Watched some UA-cam and took a whole day and replaced the part myself. Fixed it and until the day I totaled that truck my replacement of that $40 solenoid fixed all my issues. So yeah screw Ford/dealer for wasting 5 days of my time keeping the truck only to solve nothing under warranty. Bought a Nissan Titan 5.6 V8 when it was time to get a new truck.
@scott7082 This is where experience comes into play. Sadly auto manufacturers don't want to pay, so all the experience technicians are leaving the industry. Me I already know, 5.0 comes in with a timing code/stalling stop lights it's the electronic vct solenoid. I'd have it fixed in a few hours.
@@scott7082lots of luck with that Nissan 🙈
Na sheep like latest n greatest they pay over MSRP for them then come online to complain about it
As bad as Ford’s recall situation is, Toyota’s Tundra recall this year is even worse!
I wish you guys would bring a dose of reality into your reviews. Electric vehicles have been carrying huge government subsidies which has to be influencing sales numbers. If you really want to relate what the buying public really wants, try and wash some of that out of the analysis. A local Ford dealer here was sitting on 20 used lightnings because the subsidies are waning. What is the true demand for an electric truck?
There are a ton of ICE trucks and cars sitting on dealer lot too, what's the reason for that?
A horrible economy with no wage gain in 3 years. Add to that 30% + inflation. People who already didn't have money now can't afford those vehicles.
Hey, I’ll say the same to you as I did to the last person who made this invalid argument. You are wrong, objectively. Here’s why: ford worked with state and local and federal agencies to drum up interest in the model t, there are many documentaries that talk about all the things ford and the local government did to incentivize us to drive the first mass production automobile. People would NOT have adapted had they not had those incentives.
Why is your argument not able to hold nuance and complexity? Why are you all so obsessed with things either being one way or the other when most of life is so far from being that simple? It’s just boring and I know you have more to offer.
Same reason as the subsidies. Current admin has devastated the economy and nobody can afford anything, regardless of the power train
@@LafemmebearMusic I'm sure most people would have chose to keep their horse and buggy had it not been for the government incentives? Yeah Right! Please, of everything government has subsidized that is the only example that worked because of demand for easier, better, much quicker development of internal combustion transportation. Politics have no place in the marketplace! If one wants whatever to fail get government involved.
It's about time Roman needs to tell Tommy to remove the adhesive ring on the front of the desk
If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said bigger diesel engines.
The issue with Rivian is no service centers.
if tesla didn't make the cybertrukk look like its from a 2001 Playstation 2 video game, I woulda bought one..
Did you buy a Rivian yet because they look more like a traditional truck or what about the F150 Lightening?
The biggest problem with EVs is that you can go spend $10k on a Corolla that's only a few years old and drive it reliably for the next 20 years.
$10000 buys you a 6 year old Corolla with 130+k miles, at least around here.
I paid $17k for a 5 year old Bolt with 20k miles and a brand new battery. It costs 1/5th the price to drive. No oil changes, no brake changes, virtually no maintenance.
It’s has 200hp and 260 ft lbs to the Corollas 132hp.
Even if my Bolt didn’t last 20 years for some unknown reason, I’ll be ahead
Maybe. But then you have to drive a Corolla for the next two decades. Not everyone has any interest in that prospect at all.
If I had the spare income for a Rivian R1T I'd get one in a heartbeat.
Toyotas are good, but not AS good as everyone touts.
three different models going a million miles would suggest they are.
@@jameskocks4734 they aren't special in that regard either. They aren't the only manufacturer to have a very few vehicles make it 1mil miles.
@@jameskocks4734with $729,000.23 in maintenance costs and replaced parts, over the course of a million miles, is really not impressive at all.
@@jameskocks4734the majority of their cars will be out of commission by 300,000 just like most other brands
The ones that make it further are a combination of luck combined with extreme preventative maintenance
To save yalls time if you skip to 37:30 is when they actually talk about the future of ford
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
$70k at 7+% even with a potential $7500 "credit" is too much for most people. Especially with normal day to day items costing so much now.
$70K before the $70K dealer markup
Dealer markups are almost entirely gone and have been for nearly a year. It's getting annoying to keep hearing about them.
@@rightwingsafetysquad9872 not round here
Get rid of the EV rebate's. lets keep it all neutral and see what people want to buy.
What’s interesting is how you all invalidate your credibility with takes like this. Why do I say that? The ford model t, had similar deals and incentives both at the manufacturer and with state and federal tax breaks, all to get cars in the hands of Americans because cars were new and not proven yet. So why’s that different? Why is the ev debate different? Elaborate with facts and logic as a response, no more passion takes that are completely anecdotal please. 😊
Government can’t keep their fingers off the scale.
@@LafemmebearMusic I've found that anybody who ends their comment with '😊' probably has a room temp iq. My theory hasn't been disproven yet.
While I agree that in a perfect world there would be no rebates, the fact is that tax incentives have been - and will be - used to either subsidize certain items to make it easier for folks to afford or to encourage young technologies to mature. This does not only happen with vehicles. Milk has been heavily subsidized in the US for decades and decades. Property owners insurance along the coast is subsidized - in different ways - by both states and the federal government - to encourage both high-value development and tourism. Pro sports teams have been heavily subsidized in stadium development to promote tourism (and a certain amount of local pride). Pickup trucks (ICE, not EV) in the US are protected from a lot of foreign competition by very high tariffs. The list goes on and on. If we are going to drop these sort of incentives, we should drop them for everything. That, however, would be massively disruptive to a very large number of industries.
@@spenceralridge4958 Absolutely drop ALL government incentives.
What the hell, I thought I somehow clicked on the TFL ev channel. Ford was struggling to give away the lightnings, very large rebates , government subsidies etc. Let any of this EV crap stand on its own in the open market same as any normal ICE vehicle and see what happens.
Would you like oil and gas subsidies to end, too? Let ICE stand on its own, too, at gas at 9 dollars an hour?
I think missed a big commercial market in not updating the Transit Connect on the Maverick platform but for the US. ESPECIALLY if Maverick got a PHEV version.
Roman looks like he just woke up 😂😂
Gas prices are down because of an election year, no one is buying EV's. Most states do not have the charging infrastructure to support them.
Yep, has pretty much always goes down on an election year.
Here in Canada EV up to 11% i think i heard on radio. People do buy EV, just not thousands of em. Think Ford up to like 4% sales are EV
@@sidneyrobinson9186 maybe in certain areas new sales, but I'd be shocked if 11% of Canada as a country has 11% total sales of new cars being EV's.
The US has decent EV sales due to massive tax breaks, incentives, and leases being included in those numbers but it's still under 10% and only a small handful of states contribute to those numbers.
"No one is buying EVs" - yet sales are still growing so more people are buying more than last year which was the highest sales year ever...🤷🏾♂️
Now if you said people aren't buying it at the numbers expected, then yes...but that's not what was said.
“No one “ do you want to be taken seriously? Or just speak solely from passion and not facts ? How would you like to be seen?
Roman why such an appologist for the cybertruck? They have build quality issues and the fact that you can cut yourself on it is ridiculous.
Electric trucks are killing
It? 😂😂😂 Where? Colorado?
Andrea I would vote for you to be on any truck board.
Since 2014 I've owned a 2013 XLT F150 ecoboost (65k km traded), a 2016 Ram 1500 ecodiesel slt (82k km traded) and a 2018 Ram 1500 Hemi Sport (154k km traded). I have 29k km on my 23 XLT lightning SR and it is by far the best of the bunch. Especially since I live in Canada and fuel prices (and tax on the fuel) are nuts.
What are the power costs? In California gas is double the cost as the US average….. but our power cost is way more!!
@@diavuno3835 16.5 cents per kwh. So about 41 cents per liter energy equivalent. Fuel is down to 1.65 a liter now for regular, it was about 1.80, last summer over 2 dollars. 5 dollars per 100 km vs about 20 to 25 dollars per 100 km in my old Ram 1500 Hemi half ton.
I originally had a CT on order, was disappointed. Was offered a Silverado EV, was excited but decided to get 3.0L Diesel 1500 for nearly half the price. The issue was the charging, and price. I loved the Silverado EV, but at 100k, I was able to get that diesel AND a little Porsche, for the same amount.
Why is the majority of the conversation about Tesla? This video is about Ford....
Wanna be able to buy Direct from Ford not deal with gouging hidden fee dealers
The lighting is ford’s best truck!? 🤦♂️. Until you have to put it work as a truck or tow anything with it.
Same experience with my R1T. There's no other vehicle that interests me anymore and I've had 5 Porsches, 7 BMW's, 3 Jeeps, GMC, Chevrolet's and Ford and used to change vehicles every year. They're pretty incredible and a bargain at 90-100K
This podcast really wandered way too much, we came for Ford news and it starts at 42 minute mark and then kinda wanders from there. It'd be better with a more focused talk on just the Ford news and not everything else.
Thanks for saying what time they start jacking their jaws about ford
I find it funny how “closeted” Elon/Tesla hating Roman has been the last few years. Idk what changed his attitude so much.
Every Tesla they've owned has dropped in value, that's why
@@brandonrides8953 Yes I’ve seen their conversation on that. I think you are right. It’s just uncommon for them to bash a whole company for some sales that didn’t go in their favor.
@@brandonrides8953 who cares? Them going through cars and trucks so often isn’t the average consumer. People aren’t and shouldn’t be buying vehicles as an asset that won’t depreciate. Reason why their aftermarket pricing is dropping is because Tesla is the fastest growing brand the last few years. Supply is outpacing demand.
He's trying to keep the door open to Tesla for access to insider info and vehicles.
I detect a little TDS in Roman 😂
I love my non-hybrid 2023 Maverick, and I'll likely be submitting an order soon for the 2025 Maverick now that the hybrid is AWD and 4k towing rated (tiny camper in our future). The biggest let-down of the 2025 refresh is no ProPower Onboard offering for the hybrid or FX4 offering (would make it a soft-roading boondock camping KING).
My wife's 2022 Bolt EUV is 2 years and 34,000 miles old and is an AMAZING 2nd vehicle for us; so I really don't have the ridiculous "ick" a lot of truck guys have against EVs.
The MINUTE they offer the Ranger PHEV, so long as it looks decent spec-wise, I'll upgrade to that as well. I think the Ram Ramcharger is the right blueprint for the future of pickups, and a Ranger/midsize pickup in that setup would be the perfect/dream vehicle for me. Truly the spirit of a utilitarian vehicle.
Ford has done a lot of work with their F150 Hybrid and all electric Lightning and is have a *HUGE* sales year 2024 with the F150 overall still the best selling vehicle ever period bar none now with the disaster at Toyota playing out...which just how bad that is something of a mystery actually. Ford Maverick still the best new vehicle launch in North America the past 20 Years as well bigger than Tesla by far. Still Cybertruck is a whole new game for trucks and now the Nissan Titan ProXD plus Dodge RHO making some big time noise. The pickup truck Wars will be raging away for 2025 as where this demographic is is where all the spending money is still stretching from Edmonton Alberta south through the middle of North America all the way deep into Mexico and California East Oregon Washington Idaho Eastward here to South Carolina so yes great subject here of big time importance a lot going on although for now Ford is still clearly dominant so we'll see what GM coughs up😊
First 37min 30secs is about EVs*****Edit-the whole video is about EVs
I bought F-150 Powerboost last year. I love it. This is the half ton truck with the best utility today. Was considering an electric truck, but will wait for the next generation a few years down the road.
I own a 2020 F150 XLT 3.5l Ecoboost 6.5 bed with 3.55 gears and all the extras. In the middle of the night. I can start my pickup and leave my yard and come back. My neighbors don't know I even left. That's how extremely quiet it is. One neighbor was walking by to see what another neighbor was doing. I got into my pickup started it. He was around 20 feet from me. He was just standing. I rolled up on him and scared him. He didn't even hear me start my pickup. With all the technology and the EVs. Now, they are called throwaway vehicles. Because of the technology. Their nothing to be proud of. Extremely to expensive to be a throwaway vehicle. My 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee just turned over 184,000 miles. Something the new vehicles will never do. My Jeep is rated for 300,000 miles. Something the new vehicles will ever be rated for. Number one problem will all of the new vehicles. Anything that deals with technology.
Roman needs to let someone else take over for him. He interrupts everyone. He can’t stay on topic. He is the only reason I won’t watch some of the videos. I’m sure he’s a great guy but he steps on everyone
It’s his company; his show.
@garysarratt1 What an elitist, pathetic explanation. Andre is a truck expert, so I agree with @bradstandley2071; Roman needs to calm down and allow staff to do their jobs. I hope if you own a company and use that mentality, you go belly up in less than a year.
Absolutely 100% agree, same here
@@1_Papa All I’m saying is, the man is in charge and he will do what he wants.
Mach E is a really great and fun car! I think it’s more of a woman’s car. My wife owns it and loves it and I see a lot of other women driving around in it. It’s not so much a guys car I think.
The F150 lightning is an amazing truck!!!
My 3.0 Duramax getting 30 mpg combined driving....i will take all day long!! Keep your EV crap!!
Oh yeah...I have 600 Mile plus range. Then I fill up in 3 minutes and go again!! 🤣
Electric vehicles are expensive, but so is fuel and oil changes, especially for trucks. I'm sure it works out to be cheaper when all is said and done at the end of the life of the vehicle.
Guys good info - but please, stay on task AND try to limit the time to 30 minutes ... imho
No F'ing way electric is going to dominate the truck market. There is a small slice that will go for it. By not average Joe. Not now no way.
Since 90% of pickup trucks are used as big cars it probably will in the future.
If you think gas stations get sketchy EV chargers are worse. Gas pumps are under awnings, have lights, and are in sight of the attendant. DCFCs I have used are usually out of the way behind a gas station or far out in the parking lot. Most of the time there aren't even lights.
I'm beginning to think they need to change the title of this video. They seem to be spending most the time pushing ev.
Respectfully, people have voiced their opinion and ultimately they decide how they want to spend their dollars. I went and bought myself a 2022 F-150 powerboost, the greatest vehicle I ever had. It's quick, has a whole lot of torque, MPGs almost unrivaled in a truck world. It does for me everything that I need exceptionally well. If 5% wants to drive electric cars, and other 5% want to only drive diesel trucks then be it, but don't force the rest of us to go one way or another.
35 mins of my wife's friend, the neighbor this, prius that, blah blah.... Come on guys...
Ford choice if smarter then everyone else!! No one wants EVs!
EV's are fine, but no goverment should force us to buy one.
My Grandmother born in the late 1800's had an electric lawn mower in the late 1950's! So this electric lawn mowers are not a late arrival.
Can someone post when they get to the topic set out in the video title...
I thought it was about Ford new strategy!
Most people I know are having trouble paying for groceries and outlets pushing the benefits of $70-90k trucks
Innovation never happens overnight. So, for example, in all likelihood 50 years from now energy cost will go to near zero and transportation will evolve, adapt and change with energy innovations. None of this happens overnight but change will 100% happen. So the sooner America gets on this innovation road and begins to fully embrace it, the better we compete and hopefully lead the world. Don’t find yourself being a flat earth evangelist, just simply learn to envision a little further ahead.
Let me know when they start talking about the title SMH nap time
I love the lighting too, Roman, chill. Let the haters hate.
Where are gas prices low???? Still well over $3/gallon everywhere I’ve been in the Midwest.
That’s pretty low compared to the last few years.
The GM 2.7 Turbo HO can be fuel efficient but it is completely reliant on driving style. Forget about fuel economy in the city with stop and go driving. On rural roads going 35-55 mph this power train really shines… I was able to get 30 mpg average on a 25 mile basis and 27 mpg average on a 50 mile basis. Towing my 5000 lb travel trailer it averages 11-12 mpg. Highway going 70 mph average around 23 mpg. The numbers above are on a stock 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab elevation with the 2.7 Turbo power train.
An F-550 will get 30mpg if you set cruise to 40mph. That's not impressive in the slightest.
Interesting… I didn’t know that. Thanks
On the topic of getting people to adopt EVs, a huge stumbling block has always been the high price of an EVs compared to a regular ICE car, and yet our governments(US and Canadian) have slapped up to 100% tariffs onto affordable Chinese imports. WTH???? If seriously concerned about the environment, the apparent reason for the EV push and mandates, its an incredibly hypocritical and confusing move. Im sure a huge part of the population would gladly swap to EVs if they could afford to, especially given the benefits. With this move its very apparent that the whole venture is nothing but a money making scam, Thats a hard pill to swallow even if a guy wants to change.
I think Roman is a city slicker that has no idea what it is like to live half hour to an hour out of town with no services around
“Gas prices are the lowest in recent history” is a pretty unhinged statement. If your memory goes back 4 years, ok. They went up like crazy over the last 4 years then contracted back a little bit. It’s not because of people driving EVs. It’s because it’s an election year and the current administration has been pulling from US strategic oil reserves to artificially deflate the prices while they seek reelection and try to hide inflation caused in large part by funding a losing foreign war. I won’t be thanking my neighborhood Tesla driver on that one.
EV growth is completely reliant on government subsidies.
Where I live, there are no charging stations in my neighborhood. All the charging stations are in rich neighborhoods and new residential developments. So I think the problem with buying an EV is you need to live in a house with a garage so you have someplace to charge it. The other problem with electric vehicle acceptance is where you live in the world and the climate you live in. I park on the street, and in the winter, it gets down to -45 degrees Celsius (-49 degrees Fahrenheit). So, I care more about vehicle reliability over the fuel economy.
@@aerynlovell4754I haven’t seen one anywhere where I live. Never seen one in person ever.
@freedomisntfree_44 I was driving past a hotel, and they had EV chargers on the wall of this restaurant that shared a parking lot with the hotel. There is a neighborhood that used to be farmland a few years ago, and now there is a strip mall with about 6-12 chargers in one spot in the middle of the parking lot. There is no big sign saying "EV CHARGING" visible from the street like "Chevron" or any gas station. You just stumble across them by accident. They need better signs, or maybe there is an app that EV owners use to find charging stations.
As was ICE vehicle growth for the last 100 or so years, guess nobody told you.
Let's pull them both then
Electric is a fine option for a second vehicle so long as you have a garage.
What an awesome talk!!!
Roman “everyone has EVs on their mind”. No, just during your EV promotional rant. I’ll wait, hoping something interesting will come up.
Roman just convinced me not to buy a cyber truck
First of all gas prices is all political. Electric vehicles bringing down prices is BS!
Powerboost Raptor?
How's Canoo doing?
I've owned 5 trucks including a Ram Limited and the F150 Lightning has by far been my favorite. I don't tow far and rarely take long road trips (300+ miles), if I did, I may have a different opinion.
oh my. Roman jumped the shark in this podcast. The MB EQs all get "hit with the ugly stick in their way out of the factory" but he doesn't criticize the looks of the cyber truck? Gonna have to start tuning Roman out cuz he's lost it. The cyber truck is ugly as sin.
And another thing... the Audi's are still the second best marquee from Germany. Their RS models blow away their comp: the M's from bmw. Maybe it's the thin air and the diesel fumes?
BTW: the EVa don't work here because they haven't solved the range/time to recharge issue. This entire culture has been indoctrinated to expect to get 400 miles of range from a 10 minute fill up. EVs will not be in demand until Musk can engineer a beeak-thriugh in solar panel efficiency such that a panel on the hood will convert enough energy to keep the car charged.
Love TLF, I've been watching for years. Why can't u get a 3.73 rear-end in F250 lariat ? Looking to purchase, loved dodge but rear-end seat to small and payloads.
EV trucks can’t work because of the towing range. I would buy the Cybertruck if it had a towing range of 500mls. The reason for this number is the time and scarcity of charging.
Love you guys but way too much car talk on the talking trucks show. I think Stellantis missed the boat on Ramcharger by not using their v-6 diesel. The range would have been phenomenal
I thought mazda was coming out with a design using a small rotary engine that charges the battery for very good range but i haven't heard anything from them for a long time
Electric mowers are becoming the same price as gas because they keep raising the price of gas mowers because that’s what people want, and just a few years ago you could buy a bare bones gas mower at Lowe’s for $89 now a base gas mower is $279, don’t get me wrong I have battery mowers and other power equipment but I also have gas for the bigger jobs, same goes with electric cars for running around town they are great but put them to and long endurance run/road trip and you spend more time charging than driving
I am currently in the market for a new truck, the Lightning has a place in my heart but . . . it's expensive, I'm not sure how long the battery will hold up (longetivity), and of course, range. I just walk off and go to the Hybrid.
Super Duty PowerBoost will sell like .50 cent beers, think of how useful having that on board power would be whether for work or play..
So I started to watch this to learn about fords plans for their future trucks…made it 20 minutes and left. Is Andre allowed to talk? Come on guys. I don’t have an hour in my day to listen to captain obvious statements.
Roman needs to stop tweaking or something. He is just rambling on about stuff like a kid wanting ice cream. And what is the love affair with the whole EV thing?. The reason why sales are crap for the car EV is all the people who wanted them bought them. I don't get why the in h*ll we all have to have the same GD thing and convert over? These relentless demands from public and private individuals needs to stop. You are the "press" nothing else, just report the facts and move on. Stop the editorializing of everything with your opinions. We don't care. Think of it as a concert, I go to see the hits being played not your opinions. You lost me about half way through this video. Ugh...
Fleet owners amortize the value of the whole vehicle fleet, they cannot sell them for much at the end, but this covers the cost of the initial purchase.
Fleet buyers putting in a whole bank of chargers already have the heavy electric supply and large substations nearby to run their sorting and warehouse.
Old residential neighborhoods are going to find the defects in electricity supply the hard way, during extreme heat and cold
Model E to make money losing EVs. Ford definitely needs to rethink their strategy. Losing $30,000 per EV sold isn't good business.
I don't think the market can make the decision because the playing field isn't level. An estimated 20 billion dollars in US government subsidies to oil companies/4 trillion estimated world wide. If we could see the true cost of fossil fuel, would that sway the market? PS. The cyber truck is beyond ugly.
BYD has the longest range, you guys even reviewed it and know that. Once a Rivian has hit 300,000 miles let’s compare how great it is to the other brands.until then, saying any brand new truck is awesome is not a complete story. The Cyber truck is not proven and every owner I have talked to has nothing but problems and complaints. I am glad your Cyber truck is fun for you guys.
You keep missing the point, REFUELING!!!!! 110 sucks and putting $1500 into your garage to get an overnight fillup is absurd!! Not to mention recharging on the road🤦🏼♂️? Until these issues are dealt with to match ICE electric will be a novelty.
When you talked about the Mercedes EQ series being ugly after praising the Tesla pickup, I almost spit out my coffee….
Sooooo we're gonna title this episode the Future of Ford Trucks. So let's talk about CyberTruck
Maybe a video about the future of ford trucks is coming later. This was EV talk
I don’t get all the fawning over the EV trucks. Does anybody really think they could hold up when having to endure the day in and day out abuses of real truck stuff. Color me skeptical but I find it hardly likely that an EV truck handle 10-12 hour days 5-6 days a week in construction or mining or agriculture or even the weekend warrior who wants bring his camper or boat more than 50 miles one way. EV’s are kind of the doodle of the truck world they’re ugly, kinda look like a truck, kinda act like a truck but largely useless for real truck stuff.
Cyber truck 😂😅 ha ha ha. It's an expensive tech gimmick, not a reasonable workhorse. Hard pass. Roman, I usually agree with your opinions. Not this time.
I can't get into electric trucks. I do like the idea of electric vehicles, but please don't give the environment, as a reason to own one, cause they are no better for the environment. Don't kid yourself. Maybe when batteries get more efficient, they will be better. also, the horrible resale value; like 50% after three years. ouch. I have an electric mower, it's kinda great, not a powerful, but yeah, easy. but not a good comparison to cars. an electric car is more way more complicated than a lawnmower. plus my mower didn't cost nearly $80-100K.
Not till electric vehicles get 500+ will they make it and also charge in 5 minutes or less they make it. I think for now it’ll be a mixture of both or me. I do a lot of driving and traveling so electric doesn’t work for me at all. I like v8 power and sound real one not off speakers 😂 and price wise also electric still has lot hurdles to get through . But thank u electric competition brings that gas down for me. I can see myself paying way cheap in the future for all my gas vehicles. Lol
The Ford Maverick as an EREV would be amazing. As for BMW outselling Tesla it includes hybrids so all electrified vehicles. That is their advantage.
Rename the company tfl electric
Tesla's were innovative and game changing 5-6 years ago, now they are long in the tooth, poorly styled, cheapest interior and delivered with the worst build quality in the industry. The Cybertruck has the worst build quality and reliability of any Tesla which are already the worst of any manufacturer.
Evs do need maintenance. They have onboard 12v chargers that fail after four years and that requires someone who knows how to fix the car to replace. If you go with a legacy automaker that’s one guy at the whole service center and he is behind by X number of cars.
Useless discussion here. TFL is iut of touch with reality. Talking about $100,000 trucks like they are selling. Unsubscribed!!
