Quoted from FalconDriver:

Any any rate what is it with Ford using their iconic branding for these EVs anyhow? Mustang, Lightning, etc. ?

Quoted from vid1900:

It looks like the best Lightning for me is the "Lightning Pro" $41,000 -7,500 tax credit
Eleven 120v outlets (even some in the Frunk), rubber floors (no carpet crap), no stain vinyl seats, two 12" touchscreen, AWD, plastic bedliner, and adjustable suspension.
Dealer claims that a regular cap fits in standard mounts for the bed (yes!)
He also said that they will be renting a MegaRange battery pack that can be forked into the bed, that more than doubles the range. He did not know the rental price yet, but he thought it would be "very affordable" for the occasional long trip.

Quoted from jawjaw:

Right. That was just the starting price of a diesel F250 compared to starting price of the ev. You can add options to well over $80000 and probably be the same for the ev version. You think you will get a fully loaded ev F150 for starting price of $40000? In your words, it will be a "barely a worktruck trim". Once you add typical options it will be much more expensive. EV cars may be cheap to run but most people cannot afford spending $50000+ on a vehicle to begin with.

Quoted from jeffro01:

Those are generational storms, I'm from that part of the country and in my 20+ years growing up there I can't remember a single time the power was out for more than 48 hours. Are there occasional "mega" ice storms and such? Sure, but again, you're not pumping gas either...
