    Call me crazy but it's almost like the market doesn't want that shit, despite the push from certain media and the POTUS..

    I want an EV truck, and I think the Lightning looks good, but I want one that works, has 450 real world miles of range, and can two my utility trailer at least 250 miles at a stretch. Also, only going to pay $40-$50K absolute max for it. Until then, EV trucks are a joke.

    100% agree, I would choose a Lightning over the CT if everything under the skin was Tesla components. :laugh:

    Yup, but the range would be less because of the aero. Even though the CT looks stupid, it's "sleeker" than the Lightning.

    When Ford does nothing in the early days of EVs to correct the false public perception about them (catch fire, batteries need replacing, not reliable) and then doesn't understand why no one is buying their EVs once they introduce them to the market. They helped create that monster and are shocked it's affecting them now

    I don't know that they are shocked. If it wasn't mandated, they wouldn't have ever started down that road. They aren't pushing to be innovative. They just want an EV option so the "I only buy fJeRDs" people can buy their EV from them.

    True but their initially planned Lightning production was more ambitious which is why they're now announcing they're going to reduce output

    To much Ford talk in here.


    I think it was @nobodyintexas that mentioned Spud a while back.

    Just taking a quick break then back at it.

    They are probably 5 years (or more) away from that. Just a guess.

    Nice Rogue setup. My gym has those same bumper plates

    I think that is optimistic. I foresee interference by politics in the affairs of Tesla that will derail their progress, and everyone else is at least 5-10 years behind where Tesla stands today.

    Can’t wait! if this was an ICE, we’d have to go to the dealer, drop it off for a few hours - day, turn down “recommended services”. Now? We just sit back, and it’s pushed out OTA.
