Yes, cold weather definitely affects ICE engines, the difference being you can fill a gas vehicle in 5 minutes. 

It's a wild theory, and like a lot of theories I've had, it could be wrong. But I believe the super truck was a preview of the t3 design. Kinda like how Ford used a off-road race truck to preview what the bronco was gonna look like.    My reasoning is if you look at other Ford demonstrators, they have wild, insane areo, but they're also clearly inspired by their production cars. The mach-e 1400 still looks like a mach-e, the transit supervan looks like the electric transit in Europe. But the super truck looks nothing like the lighting.   It's possible the lightning design was so inefficient that they had to start over for this one off project. But if you look at the super truck, a lot of the general proportions and shapes align with how t3 was described. Things like having a much shorter, and slanted hood lines up exactly with how the styling for t3 was described. 

I've noticed this as well. We know Ford likes to differentiate their trucks a little bit, but they have a shared design language and styling cues. So even thought this is a larger truck, maybe some of the f-150 super truck sketches, which I'll share below, could hint at the direction they're going in.    You'll have to use your imagination to remove things like the crazy race wings. Just looking at the overall proportions, I could see how the skunk truck could share some of these design elements. Things like the shorter hood that angles down near the leading edge, the general shape of the roofline, maybe even some of the lines on the body side. I wouldn't hate it if the truck pulled some inspiration from these sketches.

On styling, one thing I had noticed a month or so ago was that one of the sketches for the skunk truck looked really similar to the Lightning Supertruck.

Look at this absolute Brutus over here 🤣. I was nice about it lol. 

it seems the new models has a new grille, lower front-end.   On the back I don't see any change:

@akirby, @DeluxeStang just called you old. Should he be banned?

A lot of the most popular SUVs (the Big 3’s full sized SUVs, Rav4, etc) can get 400+ miles on paper. I full expect this doesn’t happen in reality because most people don’t drive in a fuel efficient manner, but its definitely possible. I have no clue if this is something people actually think about or if its just something that they notice when range gets too low (i.e. below 300)   edit: I really want to echo the fact that cold weather also affects ICE

As for weather, my brother borrowed the maverick often for work, his drives are only about 2 miles, so the engine doesn't have much time to warm up. It almost never does. Hopefully that doesn't cause issues long term.    But as a result, in the winter, my maverick hybrid is doing like 18 mpg on some drives lol. Cold weather inefficiency isn't exclusive to EVs.
