  1. Let’s lose money on every unit we sell and make it up in volume.

  3. Let’s let our dealers mark it up 20%, and end up with a ton of extra inventory when it stops selling.

    Ford is being run by idiots.

  4. Dope car but they priced it out of existence due to greed. You don’t need to make $10k profit on every sale

  5. Remember when they announced the ev tax credit and the first thing ford did was raise the price of the car by $7500

  6. Think of the people that actually purchased one that’s going to be worth next to nothing as it is now discontinued.

  7. Bummer, I e had mine for 3 years, going to keep it until the wheels fall off. It is crazy that it has better efficiency than the Silverado that was custom built as an EV.

  8. I just want a simple entry level- bare bones small electric truck.

    Cmon capitalism- satisfy me!

  9. I wonder what the overlap was between people whose whole identity is built around driving a truck and those who wanted an EV.

  10. I’m assuming my $100 “deposit” for a new Ram 1500 EV is long gone.

  11. Identity of most truck drivers. Conservative. Hate EVs. Lives in Alberta.

  12. I was holding off on getting an F150 until they had NACS. I would have bought one immediately if they weren’t $20k over MSRP.

    The Silverado EV looks like a great truck!

  13. It’s too bad they decided to try to rip off consumers with the pricing on these, I was really excited about them when they were announced and then was really disappointed with them when I saw the price tag.

  14. Welp.

    My 2015 is getting old. I was planning on buying a Lightning for my next one

    Looks like I’ll be buying a rivian then.

  16. Look at BYDs electric and hybrid trucks…
    This will come back to bite Ford hard and is just like GM giving up on the EV1 which then left the field open for Tesla to eat their lunch.

  19. They are going to keep failing until they get a government bailout.

  20. Shame, and shame it’s never been at an affordable price point

  21. Fuck Donald Trump. This should be the vehicle of the present.

  24. Ford sells a cute sedan EV in the UK called a Puma with a starting price around $34k.
