“wasn’t there a recent report that Ford was cutting production of the Lightning due to supply chain and demand issues?”
No. You have it backwards:
——————23 Dec 2022—————
Ford plans to increase the F-150 Lightning production capacity to 150,000 units in 2023,
I envison it to be like a genset you put under the hood. Kind of they way diesel electric trains work.
Lots of people buy pick ups because they are “cool”, not because they intend to use them as pick ups.
Not miles, but minutes...
Well, giving them awards won’t make them more popular, correct running or better
>>> How many miles can a truck go fully loaded with a loaded trailer? <<<
About 110 miles:

” Basically it’s a pick up truck for people who don’t really use a pick up truck.”
On the road, 90% of pickups have nothing in the cargo bed.
Most work trucks sit idle all day at the work place.
Probably thinking of the Ford Maverick pickup.

WOW that is not much. It would take all month to recharge at home.
Kia Ev6 does 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds. Pretty much 99.9% of gas powered cars would lose to that.
Rigged election….
Rigging elections and auto tests is easy as pie.
It would be virtually impossible costwise. Seriously. I guess it could be done if one wanted to spend 2 or 3 times the cost of a new ICE truck. Just about everything is different; brakes, wheels, frames, etc.
How fast does a Kia Ev6 accelerate when it is plugged in?
Yes. But no one said that EVs are slow. It’s hardly the point.
Well, trannies have been winning beauty pageants lately, so it fits in...
Careful. You may feel the wrath of FR-EV promoters. 😂👍
The point is that it is not a loser, it is an amazing car. Vehicles are purpose built. If this car serves your purpose, it is pretty amazing.
Damn....gotta get me one of dim Gold Carts.
