      Their EV marketing sucks ass, probably intentionally. I own an EV and I loved the Ford Lightning back when it first came out. I had no idea the new Lightning was an EV until I happened to see one in person and even that was luck that I happened to notice it.

        Yeah, Ford has a reputation for whoring out recycling old nameplates for new vehicles completely unrelated to their namesake’s predecessor.

        Watch Will Prowse’s videos on the Lightning he owned. He was not a fan, and I think he ended up getting a replacement that was just as bad, and he finally unloaded it. And Prowse is a rabid EV-solar guy, but he doesn’t put up with shit. Can’t say I’d be in a hurry to buy one and I really want an EV pickup.

      No pickup buyer gives a flying fuck about global climate change.

      Polestars look like every generic car out there.
