Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola emailed Alexandra Ford English after the all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck’s big reveal last summer, praised the automaker for its push into electrification — and hinted at more.
Coppola revealed on Monday evening what took place during the exchange while speaking at a private fireside chat hosted by Ford Motor Co. at the Inglenook Winery he owns in Rutherford, California. He told of using all-electric vehicles on his property and voiced interest in adding the Lightning to his fleet as part of a commitment to sustainability.
