I actually like their truck aesthetic, but I have no confidence in the fit and finish, nor ownership dimensions. I am optimizing for the bottom 20% of ownership

  I’m not sure it’s a safe bet that traditional car company repair options will work well for new electric vehicles. It remains to be tested for sure. Edit: in some ways the traditional repair shops could be a liability if they’re slow to adapt

    In this case it is likely that the local repair shop will have some ability to source/replace a lot of parts that are common across the F series, which should cover a lot of repair jobs. For complicated electrical/drivetrain issues they can push the job up the chain to either a dealership or a more specialised part of the Ford repair network and over time the capability to perform those repairs will start to filter out to the edges of the network. By the time Ford is pushing EVs hard it is quite likely that their existing network will be ready to provide the sort of repair and support services that Tesla is famous for failing at.

      Maybe. I would wait a good while before making a major purchase like this from either brand on such a new product line.
