Interesting I thought for some reason they were still embargoed. Not sure why.

I think it’s the drive impressions that might be embargoed

Kind of a disappointing video. It's 30 minutes long and there's no new information about the truck that hasn't already been discussed months ago. Roman didn't really seem to be all that into it - either because he knows this is just another fluff video or he's not actually all that excited about the truck.

Or he’s tired from the trip, picking up the truck and working on being the first to make a video. I mean the truck itself even without an EV power train is awesome, I’m sure he’s excited.

Obligatory analysis of the dashboard GOM: 312 miles estimated on 100% charge of a Platinum with 300 mile EPA range.

Is that a iconic silver Lightning ?

I love the hesitation of the mustang driver when roman asked "do you like electric trucks?"

I just saw that John Voelker from Car and Driver said they are going to get to tow with it today.

It's their first time alone with the truck without Ford handlers, I'm sure they're making lots of content. They're just trying to put out whatever they can. I can't blame them.

I think there’s a “rush to be first” and these guys are trying to get content out as quickly as possible while also complying with Ford’s embargo. So, he is putting out “episode 1” to make it look like he’s the first with a review but he’s providing generic information to avoid violating his hush agreement. Once they are allowed to speak freely, you are going to see some new content.

Not too shocked. I bet it will show a lot more than that if you deive a lot on level roads at 40-50 mph when it's 70 outside and you have the HVAC off.

I know TFL also has a truck on order, hopefully they will be getting theirs delivered in the next few weeks as well.

I think you're right, but this feels like what we get from a 24-hour news cycle. Sucks that I was dragged in to watching for 20+ minutes before I realized there wasn't going to be anything new. I'm looking forward to the real stuff next week.
