Ford Reduces F-150 Lightning Pricing: Elon Musk Says It's Somewhat Expensive
The recent price reduction applied by Ford on its all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup raised many comments, including one from Tesla's CEO Elon Musk.

They're calculating it after the gear multiplication.
by that metric, a Ford Raptor would make about 11k lb-ft in first gear for example (640 lb-ft * 4.70 1st gear * 3.73 final drive)

That's marketing BS. You would need 1 foot diameter half shafts! Recall, the Charlatan used to say the torque was "infinite"....

Where have all the pre event rose-colored glass wearing members gone?

got it...so without knowing the gearing specs, there's no way to actually compare. Any idea what a rivian quad motor would be using multiplication?
Everybody try to cheer up your favorite Tesla youtubers.
I think they're close to self harm.

More. The R1T is ~900HP, more than any variant of the Cybertruck. Physics is physics, so even the Great Charlatan has to obey the laws of physics. Of course, a charlatan will "spin" a web of BS to further his/her objective (in this case, to take your money).

Oh, let me run buy the Cybertruck as it has over 10x the torque of my Rivian (with four motors)...
What a weird delivery event, it's almost as if they want people not to buy this truck. Looks like they are offering a range extender, ability to power your home, locking diff on the beast, lighter. Etc. Etc. Etc.
There was no talk about efficiency, range. It was just weird. Tesla still thinks it's a start up, Elon probably needs to step down from these events. I noticed the Semi Delivery dude that was given all kinds of tech specs wasn't there this time, wonder why.

I think that means they will start deliveries in 2024 probably starting with the original reservation list from four years ago.

I've seen maybe 10 people claim they will buy a Rivian or F150 now. They've been waiting for the pricing to drop.
