LoL..Now the talking point from the company from you to dismiss any other ideas.. Figures .. Like i said not enough data, perhaps you can enlighten us on any ideas that are provable ..100 percent ,, not some gov hack just saying so makes it so, when they have been proven wrong 9 out of 10 times.Do you even Know when the term was invented and why { Conspiracy Theories } a good read for those of you under 45..impiousdigest...../controlling-the-press/ , tested out on the Tonkin Gulf Incident from a document dump in 05/06
sorry for off subject all.. we are all entitled to our feeling but not Facts, which at best are murky many of the times. hence this good forum to discuss different experiences and Ideas..
Yes Iam that Old or young depending on one perspective . My war was the tail end of the Vietnam war 74/75 for me.

 

This thread has turned into "get off of my lawn!" ...the paradigm shift is here.

 

An EV truck would not fit my needs as we do 1000 miles in a day a few times a year, on occasion pulling a good sized TT. With the TT we go 3/4 in one day then finish the next AM. Now a plug-in hybrid that can tow and haul well might be of interest, problem is that the extra weight of the battery and such might decrease payload.

 

And I was just wondering while mildly amused with the fometing back and forth, what ever happened to the "reporter" OP (Bill Donahue)? Not a single peep from his only post on this site.

Troll bait? Ford ad rep incognito in advance of the Lightning reveal to gauge interest?

54 pages later of spirited slingin', I think job accomplished...

 

Get used to it...it's where everyone is headed so you will have to fall in line regardless. Wait till your start seeing gas stations being forced to convert to 10% gas pump and 90% EV charging...it's coming.

 

didn't read whole thread , , ,
does anyone else dislike the lightbar across the front hood ?
very no good

 

I think it is fantastic....a great evolution from the 2018-2020 design. None of that 2010s light bar in the bumper non sense the Germans introduced but abandoned quickly.

Also notice how the new grill in the front looks and how the headlights are also an evolution of the 2020s...

the 2021 will be receiving some of these upgrades in 2y or so.

 

Like any styling, I like to see it in person before final judgement.....but.....I like it on video/pix, along with the tail light treatment across the T/G. Looks kinda cool, distinctive, and befitting an EV. It is interesting how they kept the last gen cut lines for the light to body styling vs current gen. Good way to utilize some old tooling, and add capacity without added volume on the new tools.

I like the overall styling....familiar, but just different enough to take notice. Can't wait to see it in person!

 

The flip phone people need to realize that technology is changing. Been an electrical engineer for over 35 years and worked on EVs in the 90s for one of the big 3 auto makers. Technology is advancing at a very fast rate. I still remember hearing people say that the smart phone was a fad and wouldn't be embraced....we all know how that worked out.
