Is the ford F-150 lightning the electric vehicle we have all been waiting for?

If that were the case why do they make anything else?

They are significantly reducing their portfolio.

The new Puma is nice.

Ford as a global company is on its ar*e financially and has been for a long time. When you find out the price of some of the vehicles they sell in America its no wonder its almost like the rest of the world subsidises the American buyer. You won't get one over here for that price for sure.

The reason your vehicles cost so much is because they are loaded with tax, same way with the fuel you put in them.

I would have one tomorrow with the larger battery please!

Would barely run my house for a day if sh!t hits the fan. I'd love one, but knowing that there's going to be 24% Vat and some added it'll cost 50k€ here. And i'd buy it as a family car.

But it's a pickup? Doesn't that mean they're VAT deductible in Finland?

230 miles range on base model.
But yes I'd be interested, or the Rivian.
But I bet it'll be more than £31k

Think Rivian will be more likely to be something like €70k whenever it finally arrives...

Supposedly around £50k but the way everything is going up who knows.

If ye went to the states and bought 1 would u have to pay tax on it at the uk port?

If you could run tools direct from its batteries would be fantastic.

why would you? cables are a pain compared to batteries

VAT and an import tax, I don't know the actual numbers for you but here it is 25% VAT with a 10% tax.

There are tools, and tools. Plus why splash out on that stuff when the existing tools could run 110 or 230-240.

Yes, but as i'm a "hobby farmer" (helping out at dads farm, not owning anything) they won't let me deduct anything. If i bought it for my side business (a rental company) it'd be, but i lack the capital and don't really want to take a loan for the company.
