I think everyone here is overselling how much this will all matter in the end. Also, as Ford’s first EV, this thing will carry cachet, even if it’s bloated. 

Ford and GM customers went for cars like the Hyundai Kona, Jeep Compass, Subaru Crosstrek, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, or Kia Forte

One of my friends and I had this theory earlier as to the actual origin of Zombie Deadspin’s extremely poorly written posts.

I’m just very very sad for Deadspin. That site introduced me to all of the other Kinja sites, many of which including Jalop also became favorite reads. I hope (in order):

As an engineer, I can tell you we make the engineering decisions, not politicians. We make engineering decisions to meet requirements provided to us. Who makes these requirements? The consumers, costs, and the government.

A while ago, I watched the movie Geostorm and was very disappointed to find that the main character did not drive a Geo Storm. In fact, not a single character in the movie drove a Geo of any sort. I didn’t even see any in the background. This makes me sad.

I met so many grifters like this when I was in the Special Forces. 

You, my friend are exactly the problem in this country today! I have no idea why people side with the multi billion dollar companies versus people just trying to make a couple extra dollars. who are you to decide what a skilled worker is! I feel sorry for you that you look at humanity in such a poor light!!!

Someone please help this man.

I run the warehouse for a small brewery in Victoria, BC and what you want is an Chevy Astro Van. The thing about delivering kegs is that you run out of weight before you run out of space and as a growing business you’re always going to need to move a little more. An Astro can fit 12 keg comfortable with room for more…

The video was somewhat cringey and commercial-y, but for the sake of promoting EVs, I’m really glad they did this. The F-150's customer base are probably some of the least likely buyers to ever consider an EV without a stunt like this to bring it to their attention.

There’s no way this is better than Hillary. I’ll take mediocrity over a dumpster fire taking a raging shit on twitter every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Haha yeah! What is landfill even, amirite?!?!
