2nd Generation Lightning Prediction and Wishlist

[Roy2001]

How about a nicer interior and a MUCH cheaper price. No reason an EV should be over $30k more expensive than the ICE version when there isn't a whole lot of difference.
Also, maybe it should have less power/torque to cut costs a bit. It is great to have the power this truck has, but it is not needed. Trucks do not need to take off like you just got rear-ended by someone.

For EV, you buy the battery pack and body/material and basically get power/torque for free.

It seems clear that Ford and Chevy are moving from existing vehicles and only modifying as necessary. Tesla and Rivian are reconsidering everything from the ground up. At some point they all will likely be much closer.

I don't care if they have a bigger battery option, but I want better efficiency and faster charging so I can buy a truck with a smaller battery that covers longer distance faster. Gimme 280 EPA range with a 100kWh battery that will take in 250kW avg charge rate from 10-80%.

-Delete hideaway shifter. Use knob or column mount.
-I'd be ok with the entire truck being a bit smaller. Might be too radical but the entire front of the truck is almost pointless now, except to house the MEGA POWER FRUNK. Reduce the length of the section ahead of the windshield. Maybe knock 2-3 inches off the width, nothing too crazy.
-Adaptive suspension would be nice but if that's too expensive just make the entire truck lower, save the ground clearance for a purpose built off road truck.
