WSJ: Ford Considers Scrapping Electric Version of F-150 Truck

[MotoGary]

Look up the definition of the word "Prestigious" and I guess you never heard of the National Enquirer to be able to make that comparison.

It's about trustworthy reporting of which the wsj has NONE! Not about important things anyway, they have 0 ZERO integrity. Fluff stories don't count.

Without integrity, there can be no prestige.

Attacking the WSJ as not a credible source doesn't make the story less true. Would you consider Car & Driver and Motortrend as sources with "0 ZERO Integrity" too? They've also echoed the WSJ story. I think most people would count them as "prestigious" automotive new sources.

You may not agree with the opinion pieces of the WSJ, but it has a very high rating for accurate news reporting. Is there something in the story that you question as not true? What source would it need to come from for you?

BTW, even "fluff stories" count when it comes to credibility. Who decides which stories are "fluff"?

For the record, I want the Lightning to succeed. It's my favorite vehicle of all time. I don't like reading stories of its possible demise either. But when my Lightning was totaled earlier this year, I made the agonizing decision not to replace it with another one. Why? It's seems that the writing is on the wall. The current situation with Ford subsidizing the Lightning simply isn't sustainable. The smart play right now might be to lease rather than buy a Lightning.

I'm hopeful that Ford's new midsized truck EV project will make it! In the meantime, I have a Slate reserved with high hopes that it also makes it to market.

Your opinion of the wsj is clouded. Fluff stories don't count.

I know what I'm taking about on this topic. You do you and believe what you want.

Too lazy to search -
anyone have tabs on Lightning sales by year or month since inception?
Would be interesting to see and scrutinize as we await FORD's strategy.

Wall Street is the determining force. If shareholders are unhappy about the profits and this vehicle is a drain then the future of the Lightning is bleak.

The only opinion I have about the WSJ is that it is more “prestigious” than the National Enquirer. 30+ Pulitzer Prizes vs 0.

I’m very open to hearing what you know about this topic. Seriously. If you know something factual that refutes the WSJ story that nobody else knows about, please share.

Not baiting me into this nonsense. I stand firm by my opinion. If you don't like my opinion, that's a you problem not a me problem.
