Your son should watch TFL truck and then he'd know it's more like 95 miles in the worst-worst case scenario (worst case boxy full load at full highway speeds going up slightly in elevation). But I assume your point is it is the range ain't that great for this use-case and we won't quibble about the FUD he's spreading.If Ford really wanted the Lightning to do well, they would establish a system to prohibit the dealers from selling them at 100-200% markups. The trucks, as one can get off the lot, is too expensive for the average American to afford, within the established max recommendation of 15% of income. Coupled with poor range and poor battery performance under load, trucks are not ready for mainstream. My son that works for a ford dealership told me the truck only gets about 50-75 actual miles when towing at max load. That is ridiculous. Towing a truck should be able to go 400 miles between charges to be viable.
If Ford has Nate’s invested in more BEV cars instead of all their trucks and SUVs, their EV lineup would do better.
Besides that, I bet almost every person you ask would agree that the moniker "stealership" is definitely a well-deserved slang term. That said though,
