Just picked up a F150 Lightning EV
No politics involved here, thought it would be intriguing to give EVs a try after driving gas guzzling trucks for years. This thing is insane. The torque on EVs and the smoothness of this ride makes it the best truck ive ever owned. Yes it probably doesnt tow well, but how often was I towing stuff compared to other use cases I have.
Which makes me ask the question…..how are you idiots so anti-EV? Remove the brain washing from your preferred lobbyist and think objectively. What’s not to like?
P.s. If someone even thinks of fiddling with it while its charging im going to assume they are touching it for nefarious purposes and I might shoot them in the leg.

Not sure anyone here is anti EV. We are anti EV mandates like California and Washington have coming up and you have voted for.

Because your EV truck uses fossil fuels to charge itself, you fucking Dunce. It also weighs 2x the weight of a gas truck and ruins roads.
As if I didn’t need more information about you that you’re a pretender, and none of what you post is true. -
Both those are true.
Mrs. Throbber covets an F-150 and when we do buy, it will be a hybrid. Quite pleased with our Highlander hybrid. Towing capacity is a factor for putting the boat in/out once per season.
Jay Chinslee and Bob the shitty softball pitcher think they can tax the fuck out of gas and force the market. The Throbber buys cheap Idaho Indian gas instead.

Rich folks can afford hybrids and the democrats jacking the price of gas
Working folks just get fucked over

The government getting involved in this shit is the reason for pessimism.

Look at dumb Everett Chris’s logic! No one said EVs were completely green, but neither are the production of ICE’s. Over the life of the vehicle, it’s no contest, EV’s are better for the environment. But im not here to fight that argument.
Arent you guys tired of OPEC holding the US economy hostage when they want? The US is already the largest producer of oil this world has ever seen and yet OPEC can still throw a tantrum and hold us hostage. Why wouldn’t we want as many competitors to that as possible?
Finally, EVs are better drives….period. Go drive em, you’ll never want to switch back except for the special cases I mentioned like wanting to tow stuff around.

The new F-150’s are awesome. Built one and had it delivered to Corwin Ford 2 years ago. I didn’t go with the PowerBoost as honestly didn’t know much about it….went with 3.5 Ecoboost a instead… Kinda wish I would have gone with V8 but however.

I own a Tesla and love it. I bought it for reasons other than the environment as the environment argument makes no sense. I own a F-150 truck and will always have a gas vehicle. I looked at the F-150 EV but the price at the time was ridiculous and there was a waiting list. Plus, it was an unknown vehicle so being the guinea pig made zero sense to me. I have ridden in one and loved it though.
As for OPEC, we should be an independent provider, drilling our own oil enough so that we don't have to purchase from others. Something the left does not support. They would rather shut down our production, force people into EV's that have nowhere near enough infrastructure to support it and make everyone ride bikes to work. The pollution required to ship oil around the planet is ridiculous and much more harmful to the planet that producing enough here in our own country but why waste time discussing that with liberals who can't think straight.

EVs are great if you wanna get hit on by gay dudes everywhere you go

Good post Bend. I appreciate the objective opinion. F150’s are cool in any case. I previously owned a RAM, but I’m pleased with the F150 upgrade. If you drive the EV, it takes it up an notch. Again, the US is already the top producer of gas and we still get held hostage. How much more gas do you want to drill, we already drill plenty?
