Who'll be first? E-F150

[bowfishin fool]

I was pretty interested in the Powerboost, so Weber lent me their lightning model for the day as my new 350 twas getting a bedliner sprayed in…

It was freakin fast! Slam you back in the seats, but I went to H‑E‑B at 11:00 and when I came back out, the truck wouldn’t “start” it kept telling me to unplug it from the charging station!

So they gave me a gasser and towed that one back to the dealership for diagnostics… lots of kinks to get worked out, but a pretty awesome idea.

Saw one today at our local Ford dealership- $93,800.

I feel like I need one of these and a beater old diesel too. So I can talk out of both sides of my mouth!!! Haha

Place I work is buying several of them . Not sure how well it’s going to work out . Jackholes can’t plug a golf cart in much less a truck .

if the present govt had not screwed up the whole energy industry I would be fine with gasoline forever.

As a taxpayer, I am tired of giving tax breaks to greenies

Just got our first one at the small dealership I work at. They're pretty cool and have some crazy power, darn near throws your head and spins the back wheels when you punch it. Price is pretty crazy when you start moving up the line ours is a Lariat package, pretty fully decked out and is darn near almost $84k. The price for what you get in return is outrageous in my eyes, plus no one in the hill country can afford that kind of price tag with limited returns on true truck capabilities.

You guys selling it for MSRP or adding a big markup on top of the 84?

I'm really hoping Tundra steps up with a hybrid system. I give it 10 years, electric vehicles will be the norm and quick charging equivalent to filling up as gas station.

Hybrid yes, full electric no way. How will I charge up where ever I go. No where I visit has a charging set up. I don't want to be that confined to where I go and what I do. I hope I am dead and gone before total electric is the only option. I support fossil fuels

It will be good for you city boys.

I met a guy who had a 6 year old tesla. He loved talking about it until as asked how far he could go on a charge. He said its 6 years old so it only gets about 250 miles.
Those cool batteries will fall flat eventually and then you have a huge piece of junk sitting there. The one article i read about battery replacement said it was 13k for that tesla.

Heck it cost me 13000.00 because im a dumb azz and put def in my diesel.

Forgive my ignorance on how a Hybrid works.... but, are you saying the truck would have an internal combustion engine and an electric engine? Just, a much much more efficient system 10 years down the road from now after a lot more tweaking to the system? I like the sound of that better than electric only and very limited mileage.

They already have it on trains.
You should look at mpg on a train pulling all that weight, vs a empty half ton.
10 yrs ago a guy displayed (at the big motor trend show) a truck he built himself that was a hybrid.
1000 hp, 800ftlbs, and 100mpg.
Now imagine that technology 10 yrs ago, built at home nonetheless, and we can't get a truck that gets 30mpg while towing with today's technology .
Big oil/government is our problem.

Are these truck all wheel drive?

Now that they are on the market. Real world towing test.

Wow, that's bad. 700 ft lbs is no joke though.

One day the e-truck will work. Until then, diesel power it is.

[bbqfan5909]

TFL was saying it takes 77 kwh to get a full charge each night. That will be a significant electric bill if you have 2 electric vehicles.
