F150 LIGHTNING PREP AND OUR PLEA TO PATREON SUPPORTERS

EV Channels Review

This live stream addresses viewer questions regarding the F-150 Lightning, primarily focusing on the reviewer's personal order and the reasons behind not attending Ford's press drive event. The reviewer confirms their F-150 Lightning Lariat with extended range battery and BlueCruise is scheduled for production on May 11th, with delivery expected in mid-June. Key reasons for not attending the Texas drive event include pre-existing commitments and a principled stand against holding events in Texas due to its social and political climate. The reviewer clarifies that journalists were not permitted to drive the vehicle at the event, only to be passengers. Plans for the truck include paint protection, a bed rug for gear transport, a lockable bed cover, and winter tires. The Lariat trim was chosen for its extended range battery and BlueCruise availability at a more sensible price point compared to the XLT with the same battery. The video also touches on the declining quality of automotive paint and discusses the channel's financial situation, urging lapsed Patreon supporters to update their payment details to help fund future projects like the Honda Insight restoration.
