Although I understand the underlying points you are making, I cannot disagree with you more on the comments related to the Government. Yes, let's keep blaming the Government for everything, and the industry is the expert.
I do work for the Federal Government. I can go on and on about how...
You are fine, shouldn’t worry about 4A. There is a nice explanation of drive modes here, although it is for Gen 2 Raptor, should hold true for Gen 3 F150 in general terms:

I am able to relate to @F-150 Prius experiences, although I never owned an EV before and I am very excited that they are coming. I do want an EV, especially a truck for its utility and overall capability. However, I do have anxiety over charging options and durations. It is not range anxiety...
Although we really don't have evidence that Rivian performs better off-road, let's make that assumption as it has far better potential. What do you use that performance for if you do not have enough interior and rear volume? If you are not after the utility, usable space and bed volume, why...
You know, you guys, the “engineers,” made up this silly Pi just to make your nonesense seem rational; otherwise, it’s all BS.
… I have been married to a very highly educated and totally logical engineer for 30 years now, still going strong.

Hello All,
Just to understand it better: This feature/capability is available because it is a hybrid powertrain, and the battery is providing the power to the air conditioning unit, backed up with engine power if needed. So, this is only available with PowerBoost engines.
Am I understanding...
Loaner cars have been an issue across all brands. Because of low inventory of cars, especially used ones, dealers have been selling their loaners. My Subaru dealer told me they had 60 loaners previously, now they rotate 7!
That’s just too simplistic of a reaction, I think. I need a vehicle in which 340 days of the year I can use for daily duties (<100 mi.), but twice or three times a year take the family to vacation, see relatives, or what ever 6-700 miles away and return safely. I do want an EV, because they are...
I am having hard time keeping my head straight in this discussion, sorry for my ignorance.
Are you saying that when we look at the whole production line of producing electricity, the increased use of EVs will drive up the cost of it, hence it will not be as economical as some think of using...
I cannot say your assessment is wrong, but I have a different view. First, I'll state that I never considered an all-electric vehicle previously until the Lightning came about. Now, their features and capabilities are immensely attractive and I am seriously considering one, although not the...
OMG first time I am seeing a republican say such a thing. The world is changing for sure.
We have seen many times people do not act rationally, especially economically, when facing multiple choices. As an Econ prof. that should be 101 to you.
I wish you were right though :D
You are assuming level of grip is the same under each tire. If you are on a level dry road, yes that is a mostly correct assumption. However, when the weather is not so good or you are off paved roads, the level of grip under each tire is very different and changes dynamically every inch. In...
