  1. Just three years in, and Ford might be waving goodbye to the F-150 Lightning. Production was already on hold as they pivot to gas and hybrid. Is the dream of the all-electric pickup fading, or is this just a Ford hiccup? What are your predictions?

  2. Ford's dropping prices on the 2026 F-150 Lightning by up to $4,000, hot on the heels of the $7,500 EV tax credit disappearing. Suddenly, manufacturers are finding their 'discount' button. Is this a genuine push for EV accessibility, or just the market correcting itself without government incentives?

  3. @Dylan I will reserve judgment until I see one IRL, which, as @slirt knows, in our area, won’t take long when the deliveries start.

    The #RivianR1T (for example) is actually not very big. It has quite a low profile. More Honda Ridgeline than F150. Probably a necessity for aerodynamics, handling and range. 🤷‍♂️

    The #FordLightning looks more like a traditional truck, with a few nods to its high tech aspirations (mostly lighting).

  4. Minor problem: this week's EV can't reach the charger. We're gonna need a bigger garage... #ford #lightning #fordlightning #ev #truck
