Ep.147: Ford's Electric Throwback Concept - Is the future our past?


Listen Later

This week, we're talking about the impact of Ford's new concept pickup, the F100. If it looks familiar, that's no coincidence. The truck harkens back to an era over 40 years old, and provides a look back at the past, while also giving a window to the future. While only a concept, we want to know if the truck will change the way electric cars are designed.

With a propulsion system much different than that of gas-powered engines, car designers need not adhere to strict aerodynamic standards, potentially kicking open a door of retro-influenced car design. Will others jump on the trend? Or is this  a fleeting attempt to excite an audience over the possibilities of bringing back days gone by, and winning over those not onboard with the tech of the future? The details on this inspiring concept, our thoughts on the move, and much more on this week's episode.
