Ford's electric F

If you watched President Joe Biden speak about his $174 billion electric vehicle plan Tuesday, you may have missed Ford's never-been-seen electric F-150 in the background.

Biden spoke at the Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan, where Ford's new F-150 Lightning pickup truck is set to be revealed on Wednesday evening.

Until the president's remarks, the highly teased F-150 Lightning had been kept under wraps, literally — last week Ford only revealed the truck's nameplate.

After his speech, Biden got to test drive the Lightning. Sadly, the truck was wrapped up in camouflage, obscuring a full view.

A few news outlets tried to discern any telling details from the quick glimpse. But ultimately the White House live feed only showed the front grille and not much else.
