TBH, I don't really like the look of the Silverado EV. It's nowhere near as good looking as the F-150 Lightning or GM's own Hummer EV. It's just that the Chevy's front end looks too much like the Bolt. Not exactly the best look for a large truck.

Finally, Build & Price for the F-150 Lightning is live! Here's my take: A lot of these trims are very expensive, so the Pro is the best value in my opinion. I personally don't think most people will want to pay a $10,000 premium for the extended range battery, plus I'm sure the standard range...
Even with said $7,500 tax credit, the Lightning Platinum is roughly $82,500 plus change. Still about $6,500 over the price of a fully loaded Platinum. Will people accept the extra premium? Given how much the new Grand Wagoneers are going for fully loaded (over six figures... ouch!), it's...
I'm actually really surprised that Ford did the shift lever at all. Given the whole "minimalist" trend with EVs, it's funny they didn't use their rotary dial like with the Mach-E. Me personally, I'm fine with either setup.
I like the look of the F-150 Lightning. The front end is very futuristic, and it differentiates itself very well from the standard truck because of it. Great job, Ford. You nailed it.
Me personally, I think the XLT has the best value. I am actually quite surprised that Ford didn't try to trade out the column shifter for a rotary dial like in the Mach-E.
Hold the phone... I think the Lightning will get a different taillight design from the regular trucks. The edge of the taillight on the teaser angles to the rear more sharply than the current design.
