The F-150 Lightning has same unsubsidized price point as the Tesla Model 3, but it's the best selling full-sized truck in America, and not a sedan! (And the Tesla doesnt qualify for subsidies anymore, although I'm hoping Congress fixes that soon; the per manufacturer cap is dumb)

A whole fleet of price and performance competitive EVs will hit the market in the next two years across the best selling market segments in America: full-size trucks and mid-size SUVs. That's the tipping point moment. (And yes: we should make Americans less car dependent too)

Why the Ford Lightning is a BIG deal for future of electric vehicles: The F-150 is "the country’s best-selling vehicle in every year since Donkey Kong debuted and Ronald Reagan entered the White House. One in every 16 vehicles on American roads is an F-150."

More stunning stats from
@yayitsrob: "Receipts from F-Series trucks exceed Coca-Cola’s annual corporate revenue; that of every major US sports league, combined; or Disney’s global theme-park business. ... 8 percent of the US labor force uses an F-Series truck in their daily job."Show this thread -
p.s. it goes zero to sixty in 4.4. seconds. That's as fast as the Tesla Model Y and faster than a stock Mustang. EVs are mainstream.

Great but I’d heavily recommend going for a model with more range. Ford charging spots are not ubiquitous yet. Tesla cybertruck will provide a great complement to the F-150. Both changing our driving culture. The F-150 is a Great addition to the BEV fleet!

It turns out that the EPA 300 mile range was calculated with 1000 lb of cargo in the bed. It has over 400 miles when the bed is empty.

The infrastructure bill looks increasingly likely to include a $12,500 rebate for the F-150, for US built and union built. So $27,500 for an EV.
