Appreciate the elaborate physics. Yes, I do understand. My dad taught me physics in high school and did knock my head a few times doing my homework. And the more complicated aspect of the lessons fell down.
But yeah, let me use simple math for comparison.
F150 ICE - 36% drop or lower mpg when towing
F150 Lightning - 70% drop in range while towing (and not yet in winter)
Tesla Semi (best benchmark and reference for Cybertruck) - 620 miles range empty - 500 miles full load - 20% drop in range.
I hate repeating myself, but yes, I would have bought the F150 Lightning had the range drop been 50%. Still worst than my puny 4runner at 40% but liveable for my driving stops when RVing.
There is such thing as better battery tech. And Ford obviously don't have it yet -- and there's this rush to be in the market pronto.
"Uninformed" or simply refusing to be foolish?
