20. F150 Lightning sales

Mon Feb 16, 2026, 06:51 PM

were so bad that they don't even make it anymore. Instead of designing an electric truck from the ground up, they tried to take the existing F150 and make it electric. Big mistake. Towing a trailer weighing just 2/3rds of what Ford says the Lightning is capable of towing gives you a range of less than 100 miles. No one wants a truck that can't even go 100 miles.

Mach E sales are even worse. Mach E's are piled up at dealers and they cannot sell them. They have discounted them massively many times and they now lease for less than Hyundais.

I honestly can't remember when I last saw a Lightning or Mach E on the road. I didn't see many when I lived in San Francisco either.
