worth noting that the electric F-150 does not use a heat pump yet for some reason so cold weather performance will probably be poor.

I'm not sure why anyone is making EVs without heat pumps - that is something Tesla pioneered years ago - and seems to be the obvious route to take for heating.

Worth noting that the electric F-150 was designed and built in Michigan, where they have brutal winters, and are presumably aware of the effects of cold on EV systems, having tested these vehicles in the cold.
