Thats if you want to jump through a hundred hoops and pay upwards of $20K or more over MSRP. Please allow us to ask you for clarification. This is not a breakthrough, but it's a breakthrough for Ford? Are you against the breakthrough or against the breakthrough if it's Tesla? It's not a breakthrough for anyone and I am not against anyone, but personally I like my breakthroughs to come with something I can actually obtain / purchase, not something that only exists on Fantasy Island, the internet, or in some idiotic forum thread. How long ago did they announce the Cyber truck? Or the semi as far as that goes. I have a burn barrel in my yard. |

You said it's only in the internet and yet you said above "Ford F150 lightning" have it? Make up your mind please. You are confusing us here. |

You can buy and drive the F150 lightning today, which does what you think is so cool. You can't buy and drive a Cyberfantasy truck today, tomorrow, and probably this year. Since you supposedly laid down a deposit for one I bet you're confused. |

Yet Tesla cant keep up w demand for any of their cars,plenty of rich folks out there loaded w cash obviously. Highly recomend watching MUNRO LIVE chanel to learn about Tesla and other EVs. These guys are one of best engineering firm that has disected many cars to see whats good and whats not. |
