News: T3 full-size electric EV pickup being delayed until 2028

[El Duderino]

I am just hoping Ford uses the F-150 body and cabin as basis for T3. That's what I like about the Lightning. Chevy and GMC EV trucks not using Silverado and Sierra cabin and bodies was a mistake. Just like Cybertruck body was.... You fill in the blank.

I'm glad they are doing a better job at planning their EV's moving forward. It kind of felt rushed when they first made it sound like T3 was coming right after the Lightning was released. It might have kept people from really looking close at the Lightning. Now I hope those people do look at it, but it might be too late.

I am also really hopeful on a nice small EV truck. This could really get people in the door for a second truck to putts around town, then realize how nice it is and how it's not a hinderance, start looking at the fullsize to replace their F150.

I will never understand the "I would upgrade for NACS" point. It is literally nothing more than a connector. If you have an adapter, about the only meaningful advantage a NACS connector has over CCS is that it would make for a slightly more comfortable dildo.

And the majority of connectors in North America are CCS1 or J1772, so anyone “upgrading” to NACS would have to use an adapter much more often.

The majority of connectors are NACS due to the fact that Tesla wisely adds 8-12 stalls at each site .. the majority of charging _locations_ are CCS1/J1772.

The majority of cars on the road are NACS as well. It's not going to be a painless transition, but it is surely a wise one.

CCS will be a bad memory in 5-10 years.
