Oh they have enough trucks for $40k, remember they actually have to add features to sell the other trucks. Those $40k were barebones and battery. They just literally do not want to sell at that price point. They’d rather sell one $90k truck versus four $40k trucks. Doesn’t really make sense to limit the visibility of your brand new model and revenue stream on the streets.

Same my mortgage is $875 a month. I just can not justify spending that if more on a vehicle and this was going to be a farm truck, which for me, means I would put maybe 1000 miles a month on it max. Even generally using it, it would probably last forever, I still can’t justify that cost.

That was a year and a half ago. They’ve priced too many people out of the market with their greed. If you want a Ford Lightning right now and have $90k, you can have one. I just cancelled my reservation from 5/2021 as did many others.

The base price of the Lightning Pro was $40k and some people actually got it for that much. Then they increaee the price twice to around $55k and said no more Pros are available for 2022 and 2023, conveniently only leaving the higher trims with not many added features. You basically pay $80k for the same truck the Pro is.

A coworker had bought one and then told me that when they went to pick it up from a friend who it was delivered to, it was skittish, ran into a fence head-on thinking there was nothing there and died instantly….because it was a wild horse.

How can they resolve this recall. They don’t know how to fix it.

Love that realistic movement animation style too. Even the reboot got a little cartoony.

And every episode of Power Rangers but in the very first episode they say they are required to use minimal force first or something like that.

Thats what the Artemis Project is all about. Practice makes perfect. You can actually go ahead and trace human technological advancement right back to the Stone Age. It’s not just going to stop. Humanity will have an every growing need for energy for its growing civilization. It’s not going to get all of that on Earth.

The point would be relieving the stress humanity places on Earth. Better to bring life to a dead world than continue killing the only know source of life in the Universe. Setting up on Mars, you can literally do no wrong and we do have the technology currently to allow it.

Being life to Mars and make Earth a planetary preserve. Can’t ruin anything on Mars. It’s already dead.

I’m readying Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mara Trilogy and it has rekindled my interest in the colonization of Mars and brings to light not only the physical challenges of terraforming a planet but also the political challenges of humans fighting over new land, resources and ideals on another planet.
Realistically any colonization of Mars would be carried out through “paraterraforming” aka dome cities or underground cities. And that is how colonization also starts in Robinson’s novels.
People who think it can never happen or is not possible or ignoring all the trends of human history where humans constantly expand and adapt their surrounding to themselves.

They are artificially sold out. That’s what I’m saying.
