I'm guessing Jim Farley is fired this year and the Lightning dies with him. No NACS and probably no 2026 Lightning.

Wouldn’t be a stretch if they had T3 to come out as an early 26 or over produce the 25 Lightning to have a little bit of stock until the 27 model year starts.
T3 will be in 2027.

Definitely see Farley gone in the not foreseeable future. I think the lightning stays judging by some spy shots with the 8 lug- would seem they will put a bigger battery pack in it.

I’m not read up on the T3 terribly well but are you all under the impression othe T3 would replace the lightning or could it be an EV maverick?

I don’t trust Farley at all to do anything without waffling and flailing quarter by quarter.

From what I have read, the T3 will be a new full sized truck with better range than the lightning

I expect the Lightning F150 will run through MY26, not sure if they would retool for the final production year to NACS, probably saving that as was the original intent for NEW models, T3 was to come in 2025, that's pushed back to 2027.

Fired?

He is busting his hump, AND, is realistic about the path forward in the Automotive market. He can't control what buyers are wanting to purchase, especially with EVs, but he can change course in reaction to demand - while at the same time planning for the future.

EVs might not take over market in 2025, but as more people drive them and enjoy the quiet, smooth, quick ride, as well as the frunk, power outlets, etc, they will convert naysayers to consider EVs. 2035 things will look a lot different.

T3 will begin production in Blue Oval City. "Millenium Falcon with a porch".
With that be at the TN blue Oval City? Cuz like half of west Tennessee is counting on that to bring back their economy and growth.
