It looks like battery electric vehicles are out of fashion at the Blue Oval.

    They promised us $45k trucks and delivered $100k trucks. No kidding it didn’t sell well.

      They actually did sell them discounted down to $50K.

      The reality is pickup drivers dont give a fuck about the environment.

        I believe the Truck companies think people just want larger and larger trucks every year. I’m waiting until everyone is just driving monster trucks at this point lol

        I drive a truck, a full size one at that, I care about the environment but I needed it for work. An electric truck would’ve been useful. Also if they were selling for $50k I sure didn’t see that anywhere.
