I recommend being extra skeptical of this advertising point. First, engine oil should be changed with miles and time. Second, hybrid is hard on oil because of lack of continuous operation makes it harder to get oil to temperature and evaporate condensation.

This is all accounted for in the F150 hybrid. The engine has an electric oil pump that keeps oil heated and circulated when the ICE is off.

For the following reasons, in priority order:

1) Better gas mileage.
2) Backup power generation (which is freaking amazing!).
3) Longer intervals between oil changes and maintenance.
4) Actually able to tow.

And lastly, the Lightning, other than being fast AF, sucks at being a truck.

They'd have shipped a lot more if they made something that wasn't over-priced useless pointless crap.

It's not useless, or pointless, or crap. In fact, its the opposite of all of those things. It' just priced 10X more than 99% of the population is willing to pay for something that does the things it does.

I've yet to experience a podcast that wouldn't have been better as a written article. It's such a slog to get through someone droning on for 20 minutes, when I could've just skimmed the same article in a few seconds and gotten the gist of it.

I can only assume some people actually enjoy listening to yammering, and just getting to the fucking point already, is secondary.

It's not any different than sitting at a bar with a beer, talking to your friends about philosophy. It that too much of a slog for you too?
