OK, Slim--but isn't that the speed limit?

Seriously, a full-figured rider will benefit even more from the instant torque than a waif. The engine does not need to spool up to a few thousand rpms have get the strength to move you--it jumps instantly. This will be a big advantage for the Ford F150 EV in terms of towing power.

As a lover of window shopping, you should go get a "touchless" test drive of a Tesla 3 or Y to feel this, just for fun, bring the kids (and pick up those new knives while you're at the mall!)
