Ford's Electric Fail F-150 Lightning

 Whoopsie!  Someone forgot to ask potential buyers about this genius move.

The Ford F-150 Lightning is supposed to be its EV flagship. It is the electric version of its F-150 pickup, the best-selling vehicle in America for over four decades. That should give the Lightning a built-in advantage. However, Ford has only sold 3,600 in the first two months of 2023....

Ford wants 10,000/month, not 10,000/year.  Whoops!

Minimum price?  $55,000++  Delivery?  We know not when; there are 'battery problems.'

Maybe Ford will begin competing with Generac and sell the damn things as whole-house generators

The electric Mustang sales are dropping, too; from 39,000 last year to <22,000 this year.  

Market research?  Anyone?  Bueller??
