  1. Yeah, I wouldn't purchase an EV for at least another generation or two of products. The tech is advancing so rapidly that it won't be worth owning an "older" model.
  2. I've driven a couple EV, including a couple of Teslas and a Mach E, and they do drive nicely and are fast. And I do think it'd work fine for most daily commutes (if you have the ability to charge it). But I think the problem for most people is that with such a big purchase, they're buying for the "what if", even if that scenario is incredibly unlikely... I've been saying for a while now that the biggest hurdle aside from charging infrastructure (whether it be charging stations out and about, or retrofitting at existing homes, apt buildings, etc) will be a mindset shift if people have the ability to charge at home nightly.
  3. We've been saying for a while that tightening the screws too tight on suppliers will come back to bite Ford, and we've been seeing it with warranty issues and supplier relations.
  4. Yup, that's why I used the '97 as a visual reference. I've had an image in my head for a while of what I think it'll look like, but haven't had time to put pencil to paper.
  5. The rumors (and patent drawings) of flip out 3rd row seats of some sort have me wondering on cab shape, though.
  6. I was on the fence between '96 and '97 and couldn't remember which it was lol.
  7. Because people want a swiss army knife of vehicles if they're spending that much. People didn't need Crown Vic sized cars either, but they sold a ton. Technically most need no more than a Smart car on a daily basis.
  8. Yeah, that makes sense - I was just meaning the degree of design change - it'll be different (more unique than current Lightning), but not wildly different (looking like a spaceship), as truck buyers don't like radical change. The Silverado EV is ok, but the Sierra EV looks even better (as the GMCs usually do), IMO.
  9. I think they're going to be similar to the '96 F-150 in that it'll take some getting used to but won't be a massively radical departure like Cybertruck.
