I'm not pro-EV or con-EV, but I do know that many pointed to Tyler Hoover's videos on his F-150 Lightning during towing tests and cold weather runs and pointing out just how much range he lost.
Well, here's an update from Tyler on his F-150 Lightning that might explain part of his issues:

So it was Ford’s fault due to bad battery. LOL! I guess a V-8 could have failed as well. Or as badly.

I did not watch the Tyler video nor was especially involved in the topic. But I have to wonder: if the battery pack failed soon after the disappointing range tests, I have to wonder if the pack was defective from the beginning and progressively failing. Thus possibly not representative of the actual performance of the model. Ok, I see you speculated it might partially explain his issues, same thing.
