Bidenflation: Ford Boosts Price of Electric F-150 Lightning Truck Due to ‘Significant Material Cost Increases’
Breitbart ^ | 08/10/2022 | Lucas Nolan

Ford is increasing the starting prices of its electric F-150 Lightning truck by as much as $8,500 due to “significant material cost increases and other factors.”

CNBC reports that Ford said on Tuesday that it would be increasing the starting prices of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck due to “significant material cost increases and other factors.” The automaker said that the price increases, which are between $6,000 and $8,500, will not impact customers who have already ordered the vehicle and are awaiting delivery. President Joe Biden infamously test drove an electric F-150 in 2021. Biden shared his opinion on the truck, saying ““This sucker’s quick.”

I remember when $8k was the price of a new car.

They have MPG data on the widow stickers of vehicles.

EV’s should have a Virtue Signaling Ratio (VSR) in place of the MPG

For a new 6.7L F250…… ballpark of $80-90k for an XLT. It’s disgusting.

“The 2023 F-150 Lightning will now range from $47,000 to $97,000”

What in the world would make the high end trim $50,000 more?

I understand the new bronco has a ton of recalls......I suspect it’ll be the same with these.

For a very limited set of users, some of these EV’s could make sense. Short commutes, heavy towing for short distances, predictable routes. Maybe.

But for those of us in S FL who may need to spontaneously drive to ATL once in a while, a 2.5-day trip is not a solution.

I also like the Hummer EV with a gross vehicle weight of 9,500 lbs. Don’t let Anne Heche get ahold of one of those. It won’t stop in the kitchen, it will roll to Kansas.

We could ship them a million illegal "migrants', maybe 50 bucks a head.

Saw a Jeep Wagoner commercial the other day.
Starting price $69,999
Grand Wagoner $89,999

People are out of their minds...
