Not to beat this with a stick... but the range on the shorter range F-150 is slightly longer than the shortest range model 3 (the SR) and pretty near the next shortest (SR+) and the longer range F-150 range is within a few miles of the original AWD LR model 3 and Performance Model 3.
And both are longer than the earliest Model Ses, and fairly close to ones sold as recently as a couple of years ago.
Hell the LR F-150 is longer range than nearly every non-Tesla EV currently sold in the US, and even the short range one is about average among them.
The efficiency on the F-150 is horrendously bad compared to Tesla, it's why they need so much LARGER batteries to get range comparable to Teslas offerings... but it's not crazy low range or anything compared to what else is out there.
The F-150 Lightning doesn't have an EPA range yet, it's Ford's estimate. And even if they nail the EPA range on the nose, it won't be able to go that far on the highway because the HWY range will be much worse than the EPA average due to poor aerodynamics. Our Model 3 RWD and Stealth Performance can actually hit their EPA range at 70 mph in moderate temperatures with no wind. And at slower speeds they can greatly exceed their stated ranges.
When do you need the most range? That's right, on the freeway!
