In all seriousness, good to hear that they’re still taking EVs seriously, and if those massive batteries can be put to better use than sitting idle in a grocery hauler, so much the better.
Well, Farley is a competent (dare I say good) CEO. I like the Lightning and I wish it stayed around, but if it doesn’t make sense to keep selling, you should stop selling it.
The Cybertruck may outlast the Lightning in time on sale, but no individual CT will outlast a Lightning (because Ford knows how to build trucks.)
Ford F-150
Consumer Reports predicted reliability score: 2 out of 5 for combustion-only powertrains and 1 out of 5 for the PowerBoost
J.D. Power quality and reliability score: 78
Cars.com reliability score from owner reviews: 3.9 for the 2024 model year
Recent reliability is currently on a downswing for sure, but for better or worse Ford does sell a metric shit ton of F-series trucks. I stand by my statement that they know how to build trucks, especially compared to the truck-in-name-only CT. And I stand by my statement that I’d rather take a Lightning over a CT any day of the week. Of course, neither are a Toyota in the reliability department.
Did… the Cybertruck outlast the F-150?
