Side note but the F-150 Lightning is as important to the EV revolution as the Tesla Roadster and Nissan Leaf were years ago.

Rednecks will stop scoffing at EVs once they find out what instant full torque means. Days worth of on site power for job sites or camping without generator noise is also pretty badass.

That's what this article about Rivian's R1T is about too: Rivian's 4-wheel motored truck (and its SUV form factor brother the R1S) are going blow some minds among my redneck cousins. 4WD is nice, but 4-wheel Motored, with instant full torque at each wheel and each wheel can have its own torque for the offroading task, is a dream they probably don't even know they have yet.
