FORD RINGS OPENING BELL AT NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE AS F-150 LIGHTNING ELECTRIC PICKUP PRODUCTION BEGINS

NEW YORK CITY, April 28, 2022 – F-150 Lightning, the only full-size electric pickup available now with a starting price less than $40,000, will begin to ship to customers in the coming days, starting with the Pro Series, as Ford establishes itself as a leader in the electric vehicle revolution.

To mark this milestone, Ford Chief Financial Officer John Lawler, members of the F-150 Lightning team, the UAW and other Ford leaders and partners will serve as honorary ringers for the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange just before 9:30 a.m. EDT today.

Built at the ultra-modern Rouge Electric Vehicle Center within Ford’s historic Rouge Complex in Dearborn, Michigan, F-150 Lightning is the only electric vehicle that is Built Ford Tough. Ford
F-Series, America’s best-selling truck for 45 years in a row[1], is second only to the iPhone in revenue among all American consumer products, according to a 2020 study.

F-150 Lightning joins the Mustang Mach-E SUV and E-Transit commercial van in Ford’s growing lineup of innovative, mainstream electric vehicles. Ford is on track to deliver more than 2 million electric vehicles annually by 2026, equal to about one-third of the company’s global volume, on the way to 50% by 2030.

F-150 Lightning accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in the mid-4-second range with the extended-range battery, making it the fastest-accelerating F-150 yet.

I understand what you're saying, but this is a monumental shift for the company and a moment where they deserve the media attention, even when the vehicle is sold out. It has been a long time since Ford has had a vehicle worthy of being sold out and the Bronco and now Lightning have created a lot of positive buzz for the company. They beat Tesla and GM to market, and they want to show that off while showing their shareholders that they are serious about leading the EV space.

Fully agree. While everyone else is still a couple years away Ford pulled it off seemingly out of nowhere. Tesla messed up big time dinking around with every little detail of the Cybertruck.
