I feel like the Pro model is still priced at a loss even with the price increase. Battery and materials all have gone up look at Tesla and Rivian pricing.
The number for the fuel savings is not disingenuous it is based off of mileage I already drive in my ice F-150 and the average that people reported for efficiency and the lightnings with the current cost of my electricity and what I'm paying at the pump.
In fuel cost alone I'll save 2.5-3k per year with the Lightning in comparison to a ICE F150. I'd buy the truck without the credit I just think it's comical that people spending 80k need HELP paying or justification in spending little more.
My favorite thing is hearing people that are buy a +80k truck needing help paying for it. I understand the credit is to help people transition to EVs but Tesla hasn't had any problems selling every single car they produce.
