fairly funny

This is so American. Instead of encouraging city/infrastructure planning and lifestyle changes, the government is promoting coal-powered behemoths that maybe 1% of the population has a legitimate use for.

The entire point of the Lightning is that it's an electric truck.

And not to mention, the entire point of the visit was to have the government encourage such a lifestyle change as the incentivization of purchasing an American-made electric vehicle.

Why not? Those under Secret Service protection can't drive only on public roads, & this was clearly a private test track.

... Yes? Just because it's powered by coal/natural gas instead of gas/diesel, does that make it environmentally responsible? It's way too large for the vast majority of people's needs, and the more large electric vehicles you make, the more power infrastructure you need, and the more inefficiently cities need to be designed. It has zero legitimate use for commuters.

Even for professional use, it's fine for, say, a contractor doing jobs around the city, but it's unusable for farmers.

So we are expanding from 1% to 1.3%

This is the silliest post I have ever read on this forum

I work at Home Depot, in a community of about 100k

Every day we get hundreds of regular customers who drive full size pickups. Plumbers, electricians, construction workers, small business owners, lawn companies, landlords, etc. Plus my community is a hub city for several smaller towns who rely on farming. Not to mention the many families who like to tow boats, trailers, or just like the convenience.

Sure, there are guys who drive full sized pickups who don’t need them. My dream vehicle is an F150 and I’m a teacher, so I’ll end up one of them.

Coal powered? No vehicle in America is coal powered. That makes no sense. They are powered by oil/gas. Besides Biden was testing a fully electric truck. And good for him. The F150 has been the most popular and best selling vehicle in the United States for decades. Plenty of good paying factories build them here in the US. A great way to connect with blue collar workers in Michigan and Texas

What do you mean “lifestyle choices”? Are yo um saying move away from suburbs and small towns? That’ll never happen. Anyone who mentions it will lose re-election to a conservative who’ll strip the welfare net away and destroy public education.

But let’s stick it to the neoliberals like Biden right?

Sorry, but this is really really petty.

It will be powered by coal for the time being if it's driven in Ohio.

I think he's arguing that coal would produce most of the electricity that would power the Lightning.

Give us time and we'll get that corrected.

Electrification makes switching to renewables and nuclear possible.

I think I speak for all Americans when I say I wouldn’t mind if President Biden floored it while a few members of the enemy of the people gutter press were in front of him!

He isn't wrong though. For the overwhelming majority of Americans, there is no reason to own anything larger than a sedan.

Nice to have a president driving an electric vehicle that goes faster than 20 mph.
