The Lightning is still an F-150 at heart, and that means it s a workhorse. Despite that, you get nifty features like Ford s Phone As A Key , sensors that tell you when you re approaching your tongue weight and payload limits, and over-the-air updates. The new Sync 4A infotainment system debuts in Lariat and Platinum trims too, boasting a 15.5-inch portrait-style touchscreen. This is complemented by a 12-inch driver info display.
Rivian s system is made up of a 12.3-inch driver info display, a 15.6-inch main touchscreen display, and a secondary touch display in the rear measuring 6.8 inches. Both trucks can act as power sources too.
It started with California. It won t end there.
Last September, the state of California began something that s becoming a domino effect.

California s quest to become an EV-only state quickly began to spread. Several other states, including Washington State, Colorado, Connecticut, Colorado, Main, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Oregon, and Massachusetts, want to adopt a similar measure. And now they re being joined by Minnesota.
According to the Star Tribune, a Minnesota administrative judge has determined the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) can adopt new clean car rules that would require manufacturers to offer more EVs and hybrids to consumers.

CEO RJ Scaringe doesn t own a space company, but his brand is partnering with Amazon on delivery vehicles. And that company s owner does have his own space program in Bezos Blue Origin. On April 15 the company launched a reusable space capsule and two Rivian R1Ts showed up to retrieve it.
