I'm glad I have my Lightning....

3 years, but yes. Then we did the 2021 Mach-E, selling it when our ordered 2021 came in as a 2022, and making thousands. So, from 2018 to 2022, we had no costs for vehicle ownership including insurance.

Then we made up for it by buying a 2022 Mach-E and a 2022 Lightning, and watching EV values crumble...

The Lightning's used value has held. Last year prices were in the $40k-$60k. Pretty much the same this year. Maybe a little lower with some higher mileage vehicles.

Looks like the used Lightning prices have gone up in the past few months.

EV values are decreasing because one company in particular has an oversized weight on the average. Overall it looks like other brands have found their market equilibrium.


Folks here talking about their $36k 2016 Toyota. That's $49.5k in today's dollars.


Hopefully as more of us Lightning owners get out there and can share our stories. The ICE trucking community will do that same price and cost over time analysis. Coming to the same conclusion as us that an EV truck is cheaper and plenty of truck to get the job done.

Yup, sold my 2016 Taco with 135k on it and bought my 2023 Lariat ER. Charge at home with solar and especially happy with fuel costs projected to rise up about 20% in California. At 2.4 miles/Kwh, I am very happy.

I traded in my 2018 prius and 2014 F150 on my 2022 platinum. I also do most of my charging off my excess solar. I've used my truck to power my home on several occasions after repeated cloudy days. I've already had 3 of my battery modules failing, and hoping the other 6 modules will fail prior to my 8 yr warranty is up. But I'm still never returning to an ICE vehicle regardless what happens. This has been the perfect truck for me.

I don't care what it is worth on the market. Like you, my last truck won't be sold till after I have gone to meet my Lord.
