WTF? Ford Lightning can be used as backup power for your house. 

With the launch of the electric F-150 Lightning, Ford has touted the ability to use the truck to power a house in the event of a blackout. Though exporting power isn't unique to the Lightning, the system is integrated in a way that no other electric car on sale today offers. But if you’re planning to rely on an F-150 Lightning powering your house, know that using this feature—as advertised—is not as easy as plugging in a cord. Here’s what it takes and what it costs to use Ford Intelligent Backup Power.

Did you read the fucking article??

The other cost consideration is the installation price, which varies based on location and your house’s wiring. You may need to replace your circuit breaker, which will increase the cost significantly. In Chicago, Illinois, for example, installation could range from $2,000 to $10,000. In the best-case scenario, you’re looking at about $49,000 to purchase a truck with the ability to keep the lights on and refrigerator running during outages.

That does not confirm what your leader said. It was puffery at its best.

And yes Trump did that sort of stuff too so you don't have to go there.

You know, a lightning storm takes out all the electricity in the house, guess what? You can plug your car into the house and make it light up.

You guys having a limited vocabulary:
