    Or maybe the range sucks because some dipshit insisted it use heavy fucking stainless steel instead of lightweight aluminum or because some dipshit wanted it being “bulletproof” as a selling point.

    Sounds like some dipshit shouldn’t be making important decisions.

      They could replace the skin with foam board, but all that weight savings would just let them reduce the battery to save more on the manufacturing costs.

      FYI, it only weighs about 400lbs more than the F150 Lightning, so the skin probably doesn’t add much weight over a traditional truck skin. The four wheel steering tech and glass roof probably add more.
