Who Would Have Thought...?

"He found that towing significantly slashed his F-150 Lightning's driving range."


...I'd never have guessed! (You gonna sue'em?)

YouTube dude was towing a 1930 Model A pickup on a trailer. He might have gotten farther, if not faster, towing his F-150 Lightning on the trailer with the Model A. Counting charge+recharge time, I'm pretty sure the Model A would have got him there and back faster.

No wonder, the fool probably turned on the radio, A/C, lights, horn, wipers, or phone charger during the trip. Not to mention all the hills he could have avoided. Doesn't he know all that nulls the range?!

(You're only supposed to drive to work and back anyway, if you want to go somewhere look at a screen and use your imagination)

Mr. Obvious, a non-prefixed white male, has been canceled. His permanent replacement is to be a tethered robot with a direct feed from the Bureau of Information And Instruction.
