Is this serious?
that was exactly my reaction- “OP- are you SERIOUS?”

honestly I don’t get it. Sure, I am disappointed that Ford canceled the Lightning. I believe it was a short-sighted knee-jerk decision. But it makes absolutely ZERO damn difference regarding how I feel about my Lightning. This is simply the best vehicle I’ve owned, and one of the best vehicles currently on the road. Hopefully there will be an adequate supply of spare parts/battery modules available for 10+ years into the future. By then I will be over 300,000 miles and my truck will have paid for itself 2x over in gas and maintenance savings.

While the Rivian is a super nice truck, I think the Lightning is objectively better in most practical ways. Looks better, more spacious, just as capable if not more so, better dealership support, more accessories available due to commonality with the ICE F-150, nicer interior, nicer software, etc. etc. And honestly it’s got a better track record for reliability than the Rivian too.
