One would think the F-150 is much more efficient than my 30 year old technology in a bumpy brick shaped non aerodynamic vehicle.

* When the official specifications are provided for the electric F-150, we'll be able to do a side-by-side comparison with the EcoBoost F-150, converting everything to Btu or Joules.
* With the current Ford Mustang MACH-e test comparison with Tesla Model Y, we already know how more efficient Tesla is than Ford, so we'll also have a feel for the upcoming F-150 / Cybertruck shootout.
* Right now, Tesla is around 300% more efficient than ICE. About 570%, on a well-to-wheels basis.
* The Btu / Joule content of the battery packs and fuel tanks, compared to hourly consumption rates, under similar load, will tell the tale about cooling system heat flux rejection requirements. Dimensions. Drag.
