    They promised us $45k trucks and delivered $100k trucks. No kidding it didn’t sell well.

      They actually did sell them discounted down to $50K.

      The reality is pickup drivers dont give a fuck about the environment.

        I believe the Truck companies think people just want larger and larger trucks every year. I’m waiting until everyone is just driving monster trucks at this point lol

        I drive a truck, a full size one at that, I care about the environment but I needed it for work. An electric truck would’ve been useful. Also if they were selling for $50k I sure didn’t see that anywhere.

    Not a fan of already huge trucks with giant heavy batteries all at head level to me in my 2002 subaru.

    If the F-150 Lightning wasn’t terrible and expensive, I might have bought one.

    Damn shame. I don’t own one myself but owners that I’ve spoken to seemed genuinely pleased with it.
