As unlikely as it may be that that old diesel engine gives out, but if it does and if you love your '88 enough Ford sells an electric crate motor. https://acce

(although heard it's out of stock and has and will be for a while)
Looks incredible in the '78 F-100 they put together. MKBHD did a nice review of it too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q72dA533sCg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q72dA533sCg
For me, one of the most compelling reasons to choose the Lightning over the Cybertruck is the option ($4k+ wall-mounted thing) that allows it to power your home for 1-3 days in an emergency. But I imagine that since Tesla is already in the home-power business, a similar option for the Cybertruck won't be too far behind.
- dieselgate 4y agoWhoah that is radical! Had no idea there was an oem e-motor thanks for sharing! My parents converted a Civic(?) to electric in the late 80s and the idea has always been in the back of my mind. But the main difference would be the f250 could carry much more battery weight! Moreover the wall adapter seems slick but I’m curious how many homes are even capable of handling that dc input, but I’m not much of electrician. Regardless seems like the grid may be making a pivot towards more DC capabilities in the future
