Moga caught in 4k
Oh hello Moga, didn't expect to see you here!
You Season 4

then shutting himself in at the end
No gimmicks, genuinely useful features, Ford did a VERY good job with this truck
@Strange Mystified honestly don't bother
@Don't Read My Profile Photo I’ll look
Now if they can redo the Mustang Mach E to make it look more like a Mustang.
If they won’t scale it’s just useless and a coffin for Ford.. don’t forget they hemorrhaging money in every EV they selling
Ford 💙
I feel like *this* will be the truck that gets people in more rural areas finally into EVs. There is still a Prius stigma about all EVs amongst many of those people, and the fact that so many of the people I talk to are excited about this truck shows a huge shift from that thinking.
Yep. The main problem EVs in rural areas are the roads. Most current EVs are too low to the ground, on too thin of tires and made from too light of materials, and they do nothing but get beat up while being driven out here. The F150 has generated quite the buzz now and was already out 2 yrs on preorders with in months of being announced.
You're probably right about the acceptance, although a pretty large percentage of Rural America won't have $90K for a truck. For a better tractor, no doubt, but probably not for a pickup. But I want one, now! 👍🏼😎✌🏼
Rural areas shouldnt buy such a car, huge waste of money, and unnecessarily big for almost everyone
@@gus473 - Have you seen the trucks we buy out here? $90k is 'normal'. In any case, they start at $40 for the LT version.
the real problem is the range. Considering the max range is 320 miles, I’d imagine you wouldn’t get very far if you’re towing something.
For comparison, in my f150 not towing, I get about 600 miles on a full tank. If I’m towing my boat, it’s more like 300-350.
Okay MKBD, I'm sold. I was thinking Rivian but this one seems to really have impressed you!
I've been a GM pickup guy forever but this might be enough to switch me.
And I know the regulators had a problem with the 'body-in-the-trunk-thing' so I'm betting there is a release inside the frunk?
Lol, just finished the rivian video on the auto focus chanel. Always been a ford guy and i absolutely want the lighting
That’s definitely one of the best looking brand new vehicles I’ve ever seen. I’m used to it right away
If we didn’t live in a rural area and if my dad didn’t drive a ton in a day, I would totally try to convince him to get this. Is passenger and back seats are full of tools as well as the bed. That extra space in the frunk would be great for him
yeah, the infrastructure just isn't there yet, unfortunately.
This has me very excited because it sets the bar so high for electric trucks. It is now the standard that all other trucks will be measured against and that is a huge win for consumers.
The question is will Ford make a F-550 ev??
@Yippee Skippy Lmao yup. Unless you tow a diesel generator too.
@Yippee Skippy Ouch. 😂
You forgot to include the feature in your review on the Lucid Air. One of the best features of that EV is that it's a two-way charger, so you can charge a car with another car and the car can power the house for up to 3 days if the power goes out.
“You can also fit a human body in it” 😂beyond me you said that slick and fast
It's definitely a commercial for the Ford but it's nice to find out more about this!
Hope they start providing additional bed sizes, as this would be a perfect EV for fitting campers
Cops pull over and ask you to pop the hood instead of the trunk lol 😂😂😂
You’ll see more of these in the ‘burbs than on work sites.
0:21 what is this cool track?!!
Lmk if you find it
It’s actually difficult to find. I’m trying to find it with song identifiers and I can’t
I want one 😍
Been a proud Ford truck owner all my life
I honestly don’t see the cybertruck beating the f150 in sales especially considering the f150 starts cheaper than the cybertruck and is far more reliable and not to mention it’s literally the most selling truck in America
Also the Cybertruck looks goofy as hell. The F150 Lightning actually looks like a truck, not some Bladerunner prop.
How can you know that it's more reliable, the Cybertruck is not even out yet, and the f150 gets produced in tiny numbers.
@@marwin4348 tesla doesn’t have a good track record for reliability plus this is a all new platform for tesla
@@marwin4348 Teslas are hunks of junk literally across the board despite their brand recognition. I'd put money on the cybertruck being no different. Everything ford makes is junk too except two of their vehicle lines, the mustang (the actual mustang) and the f-150. Ford would let their company burn to the ground before tarnishing their reputation of being THE pickup truck.
But isn't this ford $93k? If cybertruck will be way more affordable than it,then it doesn't stand a chance
What I really miss and was expecting is the taillight silhouette fade out. I think you should do that with all your Auto Focus video’s.
I've been waiting for EV Trucks for a loooong time and I'm finally glad they're coming out in force. After seeing your first review of the F-150 Lightning I basically dropped any aspirations I had of owning a Rivian or w/e else and am now only settling for this truck. I'm just waiting for production to ramp up so I can pre-order one already!
Did you know this truck with Extended Range will only go 70 to 80 miles when pulling a Travel Trailer according toTFL.
@@TreasureHunter-hf9ff I did not, but I don't imagine myself ever buying a Travel Trailer.
"u can also fit a human body in it" @5:17 ... said so casually, as a last comment, but it automatically made me pause lmao...
One year later review: Ford is charging way too much for their new truck, much like Apple charges way too much for their iPhone 😂😂
Marques, if you pulled into a parking lot silently with that battery in an F-150 you might turn more heads than your mega power frunk.
I cannot believe the UScentrism in this video, it’s craaazy
I need that truck in my life
Your title is so spot on. Perfection. Nice job.
The prices need to come down under 50k with the 300 mile range
I love how Ford decided to go with: “Don’t fix what isn’t broken”.
good point, the charging cable is a lightning connector xD
These are the electric vehicles that'll really change the world. The ones that a massive preexisting audience to encouraged to buy into.
5:16 calling it now, this is something he will cringe at later lol
Wish they made a hybrid version. Not everyone lives somewhere with chargers everywhere.
nice truck still waiting for CT
Opposite of a tail gate would be a " Head Gateless"
this looks an awesome vehicle but the i am very concerned about the range problem... it's not exclusive to this f150 as well the evs need better ranges overall. when you need to charge for at least 30-40 minutes to get half the range of a diesel, it's not fun
Cancelled my reservation. Ford can't pull this off without gouging the customer.
The iPhone comparison flopped
So Let me get this straight, the lightning is the same as a gas f150 but just electric and almost double in price.
Might be hard to make people switch if they aren't getting anything too extraordinary for such a high price point.
It’s got a scale? For those of us in pay by weight occupations… that alone is a selling point. I would be curious what it maxes out at hauling. Heck I might go test drive one if it’s on the lot.
even after providing power to your house if the electricity goes out let's say for the 3 days, can you still use the truck afterwards without having to charge it back up for an x amount of days?
also, i would love if this truck had a feature to re-charge itself with solar power cells on the top that can be hidden. i don't know much about electric vehicles, but it would be nice to have that feature already built into it for days where you're not near any charging stations or don't have a generator
It’s the iPhone 1 in 2024 of pickup trucks.
Who buys this exactly ? I mean what’s the use of this kinda vehicle for normal people ??
Any chance Ford will make this as a Mid-Range Ford Ranger?
it's a cool truck and it has it's place but it's No Raptor
The iPhone analogy makes me hate it even worse because that's another example of something that's way over hyped way too expensive and really not better than anything else. Just hype
I wonder if Ford are going to export these trucks to Australia 🤷♀️🇦🇺
300 miles-where are you going to "plug it in" to keep on time for your hauling to the job site?
Thanks! Learned a lot :-)
I still don't understand the obsession with absolute city tanks in the US.
Even worse: shit's getting attention in Europe
How’s that bad if people like trucks let them and if you think this is a tank wait till you see a hummer
so much more interesting car then cybertruck
I phone is affordable . F150 lighting is not .
I’m glad to see solid electric versions of staple vehicles. Ever since the Prius, too many have just been ugly.
Honestly that was deliberate. Ford was asking around about this Truck during development with it's consumers, and since that was around the same time the Cybertruck was announced, you want to bet what was the single most requested thing?
"For F*** sake, make it look like a Truck." So they did that, mostly.
And this isn’t ugly?
I'm a little unsure about the range on this. since it sits higher and is longer than a tesla I would expect it to be able to have the same maximum range of 350 especially since it could essentially fit a larger battery cell.
I had a dream that Toyota released a Prius GR and it was an electric golf cart with a rocket strapped to the top
Which ones are ugly? Oh u mean the Nissan Leaf lol
Appreciate the info on the capacity of the frunk, the ability for it to store a [DATA_EXPUNGED] realy sold me!
interesting....
great comment haha
My first thought for that front trunk is TOOLS TOOLS. Saves precious space in the truck bed, keeps them out of the elements and locked away from thieves. And you can charge tool batteries etc... in there. Contractors will love that!
Couldn’t agree more. Hopefully as battery technology keeps improving, Ford will put out a 500 mile range version.
@@ElectricMeatBag yes! Range is still a bit short for what I want in an electric car but 500+ range I’m sold
@@ElectricMeatBag yup there's also new types of battery tech so in the future even 600+ miles will be doable.
@@ElectricMeatBag @SKAOG honestly considering this is a first model I think it’s safe to assume there’s a lot of improvement in terms of range in hopefully the near future. I can’t wait to see where we are in 10 years.
@@christianramirez7885 where do you drive that you need 500 miles of range??
I don't need or want a truck, but this is incredible.
This is the first time I ever wanted a truck. The utility of this vehicle is insane, and I never have to worry about gas mileage in a large vehicle ever again.
Same here.
Go back to talking about amc stock this truck cost $90k in the platinum trim when it doesn’t have the features a $90k ev should have stop chasing clout

This video could legitimately be an hour long, and I'd still sit here watching intently. Prodution quality is top notch as always, loving the car videos you guys are putting out.
He has a 20 min video last year about this truck
It felt like the intro for a feature-length documentary...
I always feel like that! I just CANT skip!
Nailed it.
🙂
Both Marques and Ford.
5:16 "You can also fit a human body in it"
That literally made me lol.
He didn't just do that 💀
Sus
The F-150 ‘Crew Cabs’ are so popular because it’s like a SUV with a small pick-up bed. Which is why we stopped buying Expeditions 6 years ago & instead started buying the Crew Cab F-150’s.
5:16 “You can also fit a human body in it”
Is single handedly the most out of pocket thing Marques has ever said
I want to test this out
That has been something of a thing with the Lighting, I blame inside EV's for that spreading.
@8:32
"I've been putting human bodies in it for about 3 weeks...."
It works I tried
Really loved the scenery for this one.
I noticed that too!
Looks like New Jersey or upstate NY.
All the pro cameras work exceptionally well in outdoor environment, amazing!
The Lightning just seems so well designed in so many different aspects. The fact that a company with the footprint of Ford appears to have nailed it this early could be big for EV adoption. Hopefully that spurs some renewable energy investments.
I'll agree as soon as I see broad availability. We've had a lot of paper launches in the last couple years.
TOYOTA is the best selling truck in USA
@@randomasiankid017 No. The F150 is both the best selling Car 2021 in the USA and (indeed) the best selling truck. Plus Toyota is not a truck, it's a company.
Toyotas best selling truck - if multiple statistics are correct - is the Toyota Tacoma, but it only sold 1/3 of the amount the F150 was sold.
@@randomasiankid017 No the F150 has been the single best selling vehicle in the US for decades. That's not an opinion, they have data lol
Its a novelty Truck at this point, NO way this truck will tow a travel trailer more than 120 miles without a recharge, It cannot handle the caliche dust on offroad 2 tract dirt roads, this is a Novelty Truck. Promise this Truck will NOT last 4 years of normal wear and tear that people put normal trucks under, we are just not there yet,
And this is the key to mass EV adoption - keep everything else familiar. Buyers don't want weird and unfathomable controls, bizarre door handles and steering jokes, but they will quickly fall in love with the EV powertrain, once they try it out. Great review!
😂😂There will never be “mass adoption” of EVs with current batt tech. Most consumers are smart enough to realize this.
@@Fluterrayou say that but in california 25% of cars are EVs. With better charging infrastructure it’s definitely possible
@@Fluterra explain
@@pnoodl3s775 I am in SoCal and every time I see an EV I think Why ? Why Pay 100K for a Truck that does less than a 30 K truck from a few years ago. No construction, No gardening, No electrical, No plumbing, No roofing, insert Real Truck Career, No one will ever buy them. Great value and I might even be interested if they drop the price down to sub 50's but other wise its just to Damm Expensive for us common every day men that need a durable I can beat this shit out of this Vehicle and not have to worrry about it. Good Luck FORD stick with what you do well.
Yup, this is my hangup. The fact that the F150 Lighting has a PHYSICAL GEAR SHIFTER is a massive positive for me. No knob or button crap to change direction. I'd be sorely tempted to get this once my current car kicks the bucket, even if my use for a big truck is limited. The fact they copy and pasted the normal car elements from the other F150s is just too good.
Marques Brownlee is the iPhone of tech channels
Ey dont insult him like that
Ouch
seeing marques and extremely lush trees in the same shot was an experience i don't think i ever expected
lol Same. Hes in Michigan so Trees Trees Trees
and something I didn't know i need
Marques you really outdid yourself with this one. The camera angles and shots are chefskiss and the perfect amount of information, not too much but enough for someone to make a good purchasing decision. Well Done!
Pull your tongue out of his arse
You gotta work hard to make that bucket of bolts look appealing
At this point it seems like it's his team that deserves most of the compliments
Man I love when Marques surprises us with "we actually used another F-150 lightning to shoot the road shots" or "actually we shot this whole video on so and so phone". Gets me hyped every time
What phone was this shot on? This is probably the most useful kind of camera review lol. Dynamic range wasn’t too great here imo.
@@curiouskitkat that’s not what he’s saying, a phone wouldn’t be capable of recording this level video. this video was recorded with a camera
Yep. It's like when Steve Job's announced the Intel transition towards the end of the keynote and said something to the effect of "Actually, everything you've been watching me do today has been on Intel."
Most of the questions I see about towing, sure it can tow a lot, but not very far.... and having to charge with a trailer, well let's see that debacle... I'll do a comparison with my F350 turbo diesel when I get hold of a Lightning 👍💪
Towing with an EV truck is still a bit ways away I believe. Will it happen? Quite possibly. Will we see extra batteries in trailers to achieve longer distances? Quite possibly. Will this F150 be very popular and most folks who use their trucks as grocery getters, drive to/from work, haul kids around be getting one? Very much so. For those like you (and me), we'll have to wait. My RAM 3/4 ton is perfect for hauling and towing and there's no way I'll replace any time soon. Charging infrastructure (especially with a trailer as you mention) is still far away. However, I'm honestly very impressed with this truck and can't wait to see what other brands will be doing. I'm very much with you on this...
@@emanuelneiconi i think you hit the nail right on the head. As you saw in the video, most people aren't towing, they're just using it for everyday use and to look cool. The Lightning definitely has a market
@Mbita Acoustic Guitar or you can have opinions? Just because his opinion doesn’t line up with yours doesn’t mean you can insult him for it.
Although I will admit that is a pretty big gap
@@emanuelneiconi powering the house is awesome, this truck is probably the same as 10 power walls! And you have a truck to use as a bonus
@Mbita Acoustic Guitar You think you're making a point here, but you're really not
Can't stand having A/C controls on a touchscreen. Physical buttons and knobs are better so you don't have to take your eyes off the road. Other than that it's a nice truck. Don't really like the grill either though
The base model has physical knobs for climate control. IMO it's the most appealing version.
yeah volkswagen has the same disease of touch buttons everywhere which is just stupid for a car for the reason you named. but i assume they will go back to physical buttons because i never heard anyone speaking positive about the touch stuff in cars
I have knobs in my car, but I leave the climate control at one setting and there it stays. Defrost however really must have a real button.
Debs husband says some models that have the touch screen are having problems with the screen freezing up and lack of function. To me vehicles today are just too complicated. Over the top electronics, multi layered functions that requires an owner's manual the size of a book. I guess I am old fashioned. I like the simple and direct approach. With all of the new solutions come a new set of problems.
@@NOBODY-oq1xr I drive a Tesla, i do like the touch controls on my model 3. However the latest major update changed the layout around so now its pretty much trying to relearn swiping up for the controls for AC. I do think that physical buttons should be an option if the potential customer does want physical buttons. I hate the yolk in the new S/X models and I hope they release a regular steering wheel for the cybertruck.
The profit margin on this truck is going to be huge and the repairability aspect combined with service centers is a BIG selling point. Stoked for my preorder.
It’s a ford so you’ll see your truck in the shop more than on the road that’s ford tough

I can't see Ford losing this battle of the EVs. Their entire strategy just makes way more sense. Take the familiar and old, bring it into the future. Simple.
The problem they are going to run into is the fact that they still can’t turn a profit on EV’s
@@jadenhalstead7290 they can't?
@@RonsarLo their lowest tier and best selling Mustang Mach E is not profitable which pretty much means neither is the lightning
Ford losing money on evs? You gotta lose money to make money. If you wait without investing in the future. You’re be left behind. Japan is not playing around. Tesla is not a playing around. These new laws is pushing all cars to electric.
They’ll lose the battle if they don’t do a better job with upgrading the chargers
Is it just me or is the outdoor scenery in the video a very nice take in an MKBHD video?
I’d be down to see more of this, natural lighting, etc.
I see the pun "lightning"
Why don't you just rim him... Omg talk about kissing ass 🤦🏿♂️
Have you seen the Transport Evolved review? They like the lightning so much that they got a loan & bought one to use as their production truck.
And I just wish that Ford had released it in Europe! I know the F150 in the UK & it is sort of too big for UK roads, but I a huge human & it would be great for me!!
I suspect that as Blue Cruise improves that living with its over sized nature in the UK would be manageable!
I liked the outdoor scenery but I’m being absolutely genuine, I was thinking in the middle of the video that I wished the lighting was a little better. Cleaner and warmer like most of his other videos, yk. Although I do like the change in scenery for sure

Ford's also selling the lightning direct to consumer.
@@Ollv33 no they are not. They HAVE to go through dealers. You can order your truck through Ford, but the final sale and delivery HAS to be through a dealer, not Ford Corporate.
@@Ollv33 In many states the law requires sales through a dealership. ಠಿ_ಠ
Hopefully that changes once production ramps up and they start having them sitting on the lots and costing dealers money. The real question is when they can get production to that point and whether they will sandbag production to artificially keep prices and demand high like the oil companies are doing.
Hello everyone, I need help studying in the US 🙏🏼
For a lot of F-150 owners, I think the Frunk is reason enough to switch, especially if you have a utility box in your bed. I'd guess there are some people who would be able to go from a 6.5 ft bed to the 5.5 ft bed just because they can lose the utility box. I've been wanting to buy a truck, but will probably hold off until I can get the Lightning, specifically because of the Frunk. They'll probably be able to get people who wouldn't buy a truck because of the secure storage issues. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. I think they're going to steal a good amount of orders from Tesla.
I think this is going to be the biggest thing right here. Also, imagine the cost it would to be get your truck bed tool boxes on a 'central locking system' with your key fob. With the Frunk, you now have all of your tool storage on that central locking system. OR keyless entry. Imagine the bragging rights you would have if you had utility boxes in your truck with keyless entry. LOL
I would buy one today but it will be years before ford catches up with demand.
Hey they supposedly say you'll get a 2023 version of all their trucks if you order now(due to can't order a 2022) by quarter 3 or 4 of 2023 :).
Ford: the bed has 1.5million cubic feet of capcity. But, you need stilts to access the bed from anywhere but the tailgate.
Also Ford: didn’t fix the problem with bed access. But here’s this massive gaping compartment with ergonomic access that doesn’t need to be in the front of the vehicle, because its an EV
But thats ok 👌: because bigger always equals better 😉
Hey there I have a Question In Electric pickup trucks How much range you will get When towing something 🤔
Definitely the best Auto focus episode till date. Wonderful sound editing and spectacular setting. And top notch MKBHD quality as usual.
Marques is a brilliant reviewer. Looks like Ford has hit it out of the park with the Lightning.
As an electric car nerd, I've always looked at the EV marketplace as the best place for companies to switch up how we think about cars. This Ford F-150 is the first of all of these to make me go, "huh. Maybe there is a little something to how things have been done." And to me, it looks like the single most compelling EV option for anyone and everyone that *doesn't* care about EVs. Which, I should add, is the only way mass adoption is ever going to become a reality as fast as we need it to be. Great coverage, Marques.
we don't "need it to be", you are a brainwashed child.
I've been looking at EV's for a while and thinking that people will never adopt them until they look and act as similar to what they're used to driving as possible.
Is this the free truck that Brownlee got for lying to everyone about the truck having a 600 mile range?
@@BRYSEN22 I don't think it is
@@BRYSEN22 Nope you wrote that lie. In the first look he did just suggest 350 miles was the range based on Truck estimates and Official Publications. Now we confirmation of the realistic number, 300 miles is the current industry standard.
Technically, the Ford F-150 Raptor (2021 Gen 3) is the first F-150 with independent rear suspension. 🙂
I’m actually going to be driving this truck (new F-150 Lightning) next week!
How would the performance of a raptor compare to the lightning? Probably not apples to apples but I'm curious
The raptor still has a solid rear axle, they replaced the leaf springs with coil springs. However it is not IFS as the rear wheels are still dependent on the position of each other due to them being connected by an axle
Ford is sneakily building some of the best Tech-ed out cars on the market right now. Their Sync infotainment system is really good for such a legacy brand.
I want one. Never thought I'd say that about a truck
Why would you ever want to drive such a monstrosity?

@UC6p3aTghIJf6QXMzHKQqEKw by recommending a Chevy? 😂 family’s that ride in a Chevy die in a Chevy
I was at a bar in Cleveland last fall, and when I randomly got into a convo with a really vanilla-seeming non-tech dude, I found out even tho he didn’t care much about pc parts, video games, or crypto, but preferred sports, camping & rock climbing, he had reserved an F-150 Lighting. This really is the most important car for the future of cars, bc it’s electrifying a whole segment of the collective fleet which would never have considered going EV otherwise.
Out here in CA, it’s definitely the environmentally conscious that actually own non-Tesla electric cars, not tech bros!
Crypto bros really will inject it into everything they think about
Definitely me, I'd love an F-150 that wasn't a gas hog.
What does the "doesn't care about pc parts..." have to do with anything? He ordered a truck not thermo paste. Don't get how that relates to how important this truck is
@@pegmama8 anyone that is truly "environmentally conscious" would not buy any EV after doing a minor amount of basic research....from "cradle to grave", they are worse for the environment overall.
Love the style of this video. Different scene changes and the B- Roll. One of the best videos I've seen from you
That post credit scene had me in splits 😂
Marques seems to be developing a weird fetish for fitting human bodies inside of the new age vehicles 😅
So nice of Marques to review cars by these lesser known brands!
Wait Marques what about the Rivian
You think Ford is a lesser known brand? 🤦♂️ The f150 is the best selling vehicle in the entire fucking United States 😂
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
Lesser known brands? It's Ford, the most famous car company on the planet.
Ford is not a lesser known brand 😂
Yeah, I'd trade my Model Y for this tbh. More practical for a homeowner who regularly does home projects/needs to haul stuff.
Let us know how much you end up paying.
I’m cancelling my cybertruck and getting one of these.
@@Blaccsquare Don't cancel, buy and resell. Cybertrucks will probably be worth more right from the factory than you paid for it because the demand. I currently have the Cyber truck and the EV Silverado on pre-order and will buy what is available first. I like the Lightning the best but the battery tech on the Cybertruck will probably be the most mature.
I failed to pre-order the Lightning and I am kicking myself for not doing so.
@@Blaccsquare I also got order for cybertruck, I have not cancelled, I think it will cancel its self, I should be getting My Larait in end of July
Lowkey kinda glad it’s Ford pushing trucks forward, like they really made the first assembly car and here we are 100 years later still innovating
Honestly - this is a great EV adoption piece for Ford/F150. People will resonate with your highlights and not get confused with the technical stuff. Nice job!
What're your thoughts compared to the R1T?
Also, I think one of Ford's most impactful moves (if they still do it) will be to do direct sales and cut out the sleazy dealerships
I noticed he didn’t mention the R1T or the Silverado EV at the end of the video when talking about the Ram, Tundra, and Cybertruck needing to catch up. R1T is a different market so it makes sense that it wasn’t compared, but not sure about the Silverado
Agree he totally missed that. Silverado has overall better specs
What we hear in Latam: "The iPhone fifty" :v
So many great things about this truck! Range is still an issue. Some gas-powered trucks have a 24 gallon tank (or bigger). That would be equivalent to a 250 kWh battery, and we're not remotely close to that yet.
300 miles of range is actually terrible
@@georgejungle138 Yeah, especially if that's without pulling a trailer. Ideally future electric trucks have like a 350 kwh battery or maybe even 400 kwh battery which would allow over 600 miles of range without a trailer and maybe 300 miles of range with a trailer.
lessee. A standard gas truck pulling a trailer gets 8-10 mpg. 24 gallons equals a range of 192-240 miles.
Oh the humanity!
Jesus.
I personally think they should be making EV vehicles smaller not larger if they actually expect mass adoption any time soon. This will remain a niche market until they realize they need to win over consumers by maxing out efficiency with small commuters and not fail at copying already successful big vehicles like full size pickups.
