Ford electric F-150

Got it!!! Sorry about wording it the way I did.

Honestly no big deal. I just have been called out before for answering for someone and rightfully so. I'm just trying not to do that it's not right. We all have our beliefs and thoughts and have a right to express for ourselves.

Lurker I didn't answer for anyone But, did reply to your question

@lurker, do you have a link to where you read that most of these orders were for the government fleet? Apparently BBQ isn't capable considering searching CNBC and Spaulding shows nothing about Ford or even anything related to auto-manufacturing. The only CNBC articles related to Spaulding that come up relate to a some kind of fashion company.

You actually searched Spaulding? Lmao......you'll get nothing and like it.

You're the dummy that went caddy shack on everyone.....try to keep up.

I didn’t say that, or type it either.

(Now as for the “nuance”)

Secondly, go back a re-read the posting exchanges from kidrock, answering for ss12. And then ss12’s reply to me. You get your no source link from either. Re-read it, you’ll get what I’m saying.

My intent in asking ss12 the question directly as he is the OP and the EV guru was for him to establish the sales WERE NOT “fleet purchased vehicles” and “government fleet purchased vehicles” --- thus the onus is on him to establish this via a link, not kidrock posting for him.

At the end of the day, fleet or commercial purchased vehicles (and government fleet purchased vehicles, my words) will be what compels the EV market, as stated by Jim Farley CEO of Ford. Noted in posting #39. I knew that going in to reading ss12’s OP. And I’d bet Barbecueboy did too.

First off, who in their right mind would spend their hard earned money on a F150?
Nothing but a truck body on top of a car chassis. Wouldn't own one if you gave it to me.

Hint; CNBC Michael Wayland

Part of that scale for the truck will be driven by sales to commercial vehicle customers, according to Ted Cannis, general manager of Ford's North American commercial business. He said commercial customers are "the only way you can build up the volumes" at this time, given consumer demand remains relatively low for EVs.

Expanding and better monetizing fleet sales to municipal and corporate customers is a focus of the company under Ford CEO Jim Farley. It's a segment Ford leads in globally.

"commercial"

"fleet sales"

"given consumer demand remains relatively low for EVs."

IDK but it can do this

Took this from the an artical:

Assuming an average daily household electricity usage of 30 kilowatt-hours, the F-150 Lightning equipped with an extended range battery should be able to power an entire home for three days. With rationed power usage, Ford estimates that the battery can stretch for up to 10 days of use.

Electric cars a few years ago had many batteries , and if you had one go bad you had to replace all of them at a large cost, also if you left something on, and ran all batteries down it would take up to 40hrs to recharge fully, has this been corrected on the new F150 ? also what are people gonna do while they are waiting 2 hrs on a regular recharge ?

[lurker]

The automaker is taking refundable $100 reservations for the F-150 Lightning on its website.

“refundable $100 reservations” ---- Now that’s funny!!

[lurker]

Your post #6 was not directed toward me.

Sure it was. You’re the OP, and the EV guru.

I haven't been on this site much because I have a life..

Yet just enough for another pathetic drive-by posting.

Ford has hit a new 52 week high the last two days and is reversing a downtrend that started in 1998 ever since it unveiled the Lightning (Electric F150).Its not the government that's big on EV's its the whole (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) stock market next 10 years are going to be big in this area.

Hey ohisis, thousand bucks say you slice it in the woods.

One of the articles is a CNBC read Spaulding.....go check it out.....again, apology accepted.

Read this morning Biden to propose 6 trillion dollar budget.

True.With more emphasis on electric vehicles, maybe there’s less competition for gas, maybe the price will go down? Yeah right, don’t bet your last dollar on that. If fuel consumption falls then states are in a revenue crisis with less taxes collected.
