Cybertruck is positioning itself as a stainless steel workhorse capable of operating in in adverse conditions with little maintenance. Whether it will live up to Elon's forward looking statements is anyones guess.
While F150 is positioning itself as electric truck for people who buy Ford trucks... which could be reduced to a lifestyle choice.
The cybertruck looks cool, but it lacks many features that are needed for daily usage for an actual laborer/worker.
Not at all bad, but working on the field, the cybertruck already falls short to Ford in many aspects.
Sure, a maverick and a ranger were cheaper options, but the maverick is new and the ranger is not that much cheaper, in fact a F150 can be much more cheaper.
You don't love Tesla enough. /s
Gotta admit that the concept of emergency power for the house makes it tempting. The Prince of Darkness (PG&E) makes such thinking a necessity in this day and age.
edit: the intended implication of the last sentence is that it costs a good chunk of money, not that it's a bad vehicle.
From all accounts, the F150 EV looks like kind of a good deal in terms of electric cars. What the reality on the ground will be is a different matter. Personally, I have zero need for a car and a fair amount of need for a pickup.
Truth is, it's hard to justify any new car, but then again that's always been true.
For those in PSPS (public safety power shutoff) areas, due to both the reasonably predictable timing and duration, probably the best way to go is a combination of a larger portable inverter generator (in order to avoid the constant roaring) and an interlock to feed the house.
It’s almost funny how backwards you have this
