Well, the headlights are less ugly than the previous generation. Bed’s prolly still made of beer cans though.

What do the F-150's with 2 steering wheels go for?

Electric motors are simplicity itself. Internal combustion engines are complicated as heck and have sliding and rotating friction parts all over. There’s no transmission in an EV.

You’d think they would have fantastic longevity.

I think you meant 80 Amp circuit, 80 watts will not even light a standard bulb

Many panels in houses are 1-200 Amps to run everything, so dropping an 80 Amp line is some serious wiring and doing without things while this little bagel is slurping up the power.

300 miles?

Pfft what a joke, and then hours to recharge

sure, and the checks in the mail and Santa came down your chimney

The common theme in the article appears to be 2 miles per kwh.

It’s not a truck, it’s a toy, the kind Hunter Biden would buy and leave at a charging station, because he forgot he was driving it.

5.5 foot bed? Put a trunk lid on it and call it a car.

“Reportedly if you want to charge it from your home you need a 80 watt circuit.”

A hair dryer is 1250 watts.

I don't get the math. I have 200A service. Since power ('P' watts or KVA)equals roughly V*I then I should be able to use 200A * 220V = 44 KVA right? So stenciled on the transformer feeding my house is 12.5 KVA. So what is actual Pmax???

And how long is the recharge time and the cable if you are stranded three or four miles from the next recharge station?

Is it possible to store it in a can and pour it into your dead battery?

AhHa! You’re funny. :)

I knew a guy in 1997 who got a new F-150, drove it 75,000, never changed the oil, and then took it to the dealer for a new one. Nice trucks.
