Most folks could not afford a $36,000.00 vehicle, nor would they want to. If that were true, there wouldn't be many new trucks sold, and I think there's lots of them. Average new car price is over $47,000.

Nothing really breakthrough there, it's just software and sensors. Some features will be dependent on the driver entering the correct parameters such as weight and frontal area etc. A generalzation at best not unlike the mpg and range readout on most vehicles or theinfo you can get with a scangauge. It's not like the truck could detect and know what youre towing. It certainly won't change the actual range you get when towing as much as 2 ft.
I believe the Ford F150 lightning gives you all that info and you can actually buy one now, not look at pictures and drool.....sort of. 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.
Excuse me but are not contradicting yourself.
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.
Absolutely correct, I are not contradicting myself. 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.
