Radio ad today, Ford 2023 lightnings selling at a deep discount. No shit, in the car wolrd it is almost 2025.
A month ago the same dealer was advertising 2022's, so I suppose they have made some progress.

Ev's are such a loosing deal for car manufacturers these days but FJB is still pushing the.

If they were hybrids or plug-in hybrids I might consider them.

I like taking care of the resources we have but I hope people who are into this whole green agenda fall and skin their face.

“Deeply discounted”.  Probably still well over $50k.  Remember when they said they would start under $40k?  I member.

All the commercials I see for the lightening and “mustang” are the zero to sixty time, nothing about range or actual usefulness.

How cheap we talking? I've been thinking an electric would be good as a 3rd vehicle (commuter) but I hate econo boxes and won't ride in them.

Yep. I don't want to replace my F250 with one, but would make a great 3rd or 4th vehicle.

For as much as this place is concerned about "preparedness", home solar, home battery storage, and an EV is the most reliable way to guarantee mobility (bonus points to electric dirt bike or UTV).

Wow my local dealer does indeed still have 2 new 2023 Lightnings.  One for 54 and one for 74.  But isn’t there a huge tax credit for buying those hunks of shit?

We had a hail storm come through and 100% of my neighbor's solar panels were destroyed.

Meanwhile my backyard refinery is still chuggin along.

I've got home solar with batteries. I'll add an EV eventually as a local travel option if gas is unavailable.

The storm last week?

Mine survived just fine. I heard a few people in Greenville got golfball+ sized hail.

I think everything I got was under an inch.

They have one at the Ford dealer here.  I asked the lady if she expected to sell it and she said she thought it was more there as a "display model."

Will take one IF they pay ME $100K and it has an on-board fire suppression system. My last 2 Ford trucks caught fire driving down the highway.

For 15-20k I could work with an electric truck as a2nd vehicle , it would still be pretty useless but for local stuff and trips to The dump or hd it would be ok

$900 lol. I could put 1000 miles on my model 3 for forty something dollars. The lighting isn’t nearly as efficient but it can’t be that bad.

They don't seem to be discounting 2023's here at the local dealer and they have plenty on the lot. Nothing major on Ford's website either.

So you are saying he drove it a lot.  Like a lot of miles.  Guess he liked driving it.

You might want to take a look at your extra solar output and how long that will take to charge up an EV.  Dirt bike?  Sure, that's possible.  Car is not happening.

If you could get a nicely optioned extended range XLT for $35K new, it might be worth it as a second vehicle. $70K -$95K they can keep it. It should be cheaper than the gas equivalent, since it is more limited in function and will depreciate faster. You'll also need a second vehicle for when you need something with more range.

If they can not build them and sell them for a price where the market demand meets the supply required to efficiently manufacture them for that price, then the business model doesn't work. Subsidies should not be a thing.

You would need about 10 panels to do anything worthy of decent charge time.
