..Everything else is Stone Age when it comes to modern EVs.

Not a Tesla fan but “writing is on the wall”

Sorry, not sorry!
The Lightning is my first EV, but I’ve driven Tesla’s so I know what you mean. However, I still feel Ford got a lot of things right with the Lightning in terms of it being a very tried and true physical platform married to an EV drivetrain. Yes the software feels like Windows 95 and Bluecruise updates are non existent, but as my daily driver and weekend project truck I can’t think of any other EV I’d rather have.

Another reason to purchase.

“RWD Cybertruck costs over $30,000 more than Tesla originally planned. For that price, you could get a competing *electric truck like an extended-range F-150 Lightning for about the same price.

*The 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning Flash starts at $70,190, offers up to 10,000 lbs of towing, and has a maximum payload capacity of 2,235 lbs

🫣both of which beat the RWD Cybertruck.”

2022 Lariat ER, rapid red
I love my 22 Atlas blue!
I still kinda regret not buying one. The dealer I went to had a Rapid Red and Atlas Blue in NEARLY the exact configuration. Turns out the RR truck was exactly what I was going to order anyway, and they had a $40k "Market Adjustment" markup on the AB. AB was still on their lot two years later, I think they ate it and wholesaled it.

The 2022 launch markups dealers added on these were outrageous.
