When was the last time a valid SloJo driver license and SloJo were seen in the same venue?
The author is right and wrong about pickup truck buyers. Indeed in the exurbs and rural areas, a pickup does work for its keep. BUT there are millions of cowboy
Cadillacs, ie mall trucks and mall jeeps that never get mud on the tires or a scratch in the bed. They are comfy to drive, good for the ego and handy for trips to Home Depot for the color-dyed mulch bags.
NET: Ford will sell a lot of these in the Platinum (top) trim level to the right market.
I on the other hand will stick to my 2012 F150 with extended range fuel tanks. Sure, it’s Lariat trim with leather seats and a sunroof, but I gotta sit in it ;-)
The screenshot with the green arrow I posted came from the original C-SPAN video and I put the arrow and text on it. The SS clearly has his hand on a steering wheel.
Last fall out here in flyover country, I watch the harvest in full swing. Large combines trundled through the field harvesting corn or soybeans and large semi trucks were being filled from the combine to take the grain to nearby elevators. Now this spring large tractors are pulling discs and planters across the field planting another crop. All of these farm machines operate on diesel fuel. There are no electric farm vehicles like this even in prototype. Should in some Biden Green Utopia farmers are forced to replace these machines with battery powered versions, where in the middle of a field would they get recharged? Would farm work be reduced to an hour in the field, an hour driving to a recharge station, multiple hours of charging and then an hour drive back while crops rot in the field?
