I found out that a fire on the assembly line caused some significant damage while a key person in the company left for reasons related to poor management and favoritism. Neither were good signs.

Carlos Danger Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 VW is doing the best against Tesla in the ev market but mainly in Europe. Does anyone really think that Ford or GM is going to be able to make a good ev? Hell Ford could barely make a reliable gas engine in a hundred years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ford lightening is probably the best EV on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Lightning. LOL 7k towing unless you go with the larger battery, which increases tow rating to 10k but decreases payload to the point there isn't a 10k trailer made that will be towable safely. Now, if they'd make a Powerboost Lariat with the HDPP available, that'd be a gem. But unfortunately, the HDPP is limited to base level trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doorider Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 99% of trucks I see on the road everyday are not pulling anything. If you need to, don't buy it. They offer both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightening is fine for the majority of pick up truck buyers. Ford will sell as many as they can make. The real losers in the EV market is GM. Horrible technology and ideas.

spin_dry Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 There’s a review on YouTube of a Rivian. The truck towed a 5-6000 pound trailer for 150 miles. Total fuel cost was $7. The Lightening should be similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM has some investments in battery tech and materials sourcing that may end up giving them nice scale and performance advantages. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. The Hummer is a parlor trick though and the Silverado is a bit unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon and the other carriers will save hugely on EV’s. $7 to pull a 6000 pound trailer for 150 miles. On top of that savings from maintenance cost.
