Yes, macho is part of the image but it isn't to impress women. Hate to break it to the monster truck drivers out there but women aren't impressed by a ridiculously sized truck or a sports car with 800 hp. All of that is just posturing for other men.

Why do you think the Ford is compliance only. They announced a joint venture with SK the day after the Lightening reveal. Two plants in North America with 60 GWh of battery production per year. That is on top of SK's GA plant that will start production this year and the two others they are building (One in GA and One in TN)

Ford doesn't need 60 GWh of batteries a year to make compliance vehicles.
