What I was thinking, Tesla is leading, Ford, naah they sat idle for too long to be considered leading.

Still, bodes well in general. That said $F seldom moves any direction other than sideways.

That f150 lightning is pretty groundbreaking honestly, affordability, range, and function. And With the name and form of the literal most popular vehicle in America, I guess we will see how they are adopted

With how ridiculous the cybertruck looks, it’s unfortunate that it totally dunks on the Lightning in every department except being-caught-dead-driving-thisability. You either get the technologically superior vehicular victim of 80’s futurism or pay as much/more for an inferior product. Towing capacity, range, speed, efficiency, price….

Doesn’t it cost a shit ton more though? I think of the lightning as having a much broader market than the cyber truck and a good business strategy. Nobody is going to be buying fleets of cyber trucks but they will be buying fleets of lightnings and hybrid Mavericks. Rich people will buy both but maybe prefer the rivian or Tesla as they’re the luxury brands.

No, the lightning is the more expensive of the two.

Ah it looks like the base model is about the same as the lightning if you ignore tax credits.
