Look past dead fish after open pit mines create toxic run off...
Shrug off the fact that EV's are made with the same toxic chemicals, metals and plastics as any gas powered vehicle...
Ignore that open pit mining uses large diesel trucks and excavators...

70 grand is a bit steep to buy smugness.

It's a racket. People have no fucking idea what goes into making batteries nor how impractical the idea is. They have their place but.

Last I knew Ford sucks, when did that change?

Probably didn't. I'll bet their best vehicle is still a Tempo, somehow those seemed reliable at least.

In the link, China now has controlling interest in Australia's largest lithium mine...
China is among the five top countries with the most lithium resources and it has been buying stakes in mining operations in Australia and South America where most of the world’s lithium reserves are found. China’s Tianqi Lithium owns 51 percent of the world’s largest lithium reserve in Australia, giving it a controlling interest. In 2018, the company became the second-largest shareholder

Also...
. China owns eight of the 14 largest cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo and they account for about half of the country’s output. While China has only 1 percent of the world’s cobalt reserves, it dominates in the processing of raw cobalt.
This should alarm the shit out of people.

Check out what's occurring in the auto industry. Here's a new Dodge at just under 100K.

How Much Does The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX Cost?

There is no doubt that the new 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is one of the most highly-anticipated vehicles coming from the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) portfolio for the 2021 model year. The 702 horsepower performance off-roader will start production in the fourth quarter of 2020, at the company’s...

It takes too long to charge an electric vehicle. Therefore, I'll probably never own one in my lifetime.

Yep, who wouldn't want to drive a vehicle backed by Fiat? LOL.

Electric vehicle owners are going to have a rude shock a few years down the line when they want to sell it.
Because people aren't going to buy a used EV knowing that very soon it's gonna need its expensive batteries replaced.
Tesla estimates complete battery pack replacement will be around $20,000
Used car lots will be full of EV's being sold for pennies on the dollar. ...

Also, there are no solar, wind, battery powered factories to churn out those batteries. I had a Highlander Hybrid. It was a great car but, the AC went out and it cost more than the car was worth to fix it at the time so I had to sell it to a gear head. The battery never failed but, other stuff did and because of the car's unique nature, the cost of repair was astronomical.

Years ago, my best friend bought a used Highlander Hybrid about the same time I bought a used Ford Explorer. He paid 16K for his, while I paid 8K for mine. Ten years later, I still had my Explorer, and he had been through about different vehicles when his Highlander died.

Anyone here ready to lay out the 'chicken scratch' for one of these?

Pricing and Which One to Buy​

Lariat-$70,000 (est)
King Ranch-$80,000 (est)
Platinum-$90,000 (est)
Limited-$100,000 (est)

'Expect a starting price of around $70,000 with loaded models going into the six-figure range.'

2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Review, Pricing, and Specs

If not for its LED unibrow, it would be tough to tell the all-electric 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning pickup from the rest of its gas-powered full-size family.

Biden can afford one because he is using your tax dollars.

That 70K isn't too far a stretch, I hear new Dodge can run 70K well loaded and that. Imagine, 70K for a fucking Dodge truck. Everyone I know buying new trucks is buying Dodge, maybe they straightened up their act. My guess nope, that 70K truck is 30K 5 years & 130K miles from new.

I'll stick to my Tundra I bought last year, pretty nice deal, he didn't know to advertise "4WD" so there it sat. It's a loaded up 2013 Rock Warrior, he threw over 50K & 70K miles at it, excellent shape and two sets of wheels too for 23K. I'll NEVER blow 70K on a vehicle. Less the 70K I threw on my GAS powered 9MPG big block old Chevy anyway

I would guess that a 70K Lightning is an 'unloaded' model as well.

There probably are no "loaded" models because that sucks up electricity.

Biden test-drives an electric Ford pickup truck

During a visit to a Ford facility in Dearborn, Mich., President Biden drove an electric F-150 Lightning truck.

and he drove it into a ditch.

BIDEN IS A JOKE!

And he's driving this country into the swamp of communism!

Ford F-150 is the most popular vehicle in America. If it goes electric.......Electric cars have arrived
There is no going back

IF IT GOES ELECTRIC "ELECTRIC TRUCKS HAVE ARRIVED" YOU DUMMY!

Actually Ford is a johnny come lately when it comes to electric trucks, there are other companies that are already building them.

YOU DUMMY! THE NISSAN LEAF WAS THE CHANGER AS WELL AS A TESLA!

NOT!

Yeah, apparently the infrastructure didn't keep up.

DUMMY! YOU GOT TO CHARGE THEM IN YOUR GARAGE!

Duh, that's a little hard to do on a trip.

There are a few companies with charging station networks, and GM is working with them to build a network of 60,000 chargers on the interstate hwy system. xiden claims he will fund 500K charging stations at a cost of 15 billion. But none of it will happen overnight.

Why am I paying for charging stations that most people cannot use?

It is not very common that you actually see a president behind the wheel of a vehicle. Good for him.

I must be spending too much time watching YouTube. My first reaction to seeing this thread was my wish the video would have shown Jeff Gordon disguised as a Ford executive and taking Biden for a spin.
