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.”

I remember when $8k was the price of a new car.
“I remember when $8k was the price of a new car”
I remember 25 cent gas wars but the world has moved on.....not for the better I might add.
The ONLY new car I ever owned was a 1965 Pontiac station wagon I ordered with special equipment-—or lack thereof.
Cost me $3434 out the door at Scott Robinson Pontiac in Torrance, Calif., including registration & sales taxes.
I put over 444,000 miles on that car in just over 31 years.
I remember when I bought a new 3BR/2Bath house for $8K! No central air but brand new on a 1/2 acre lot!
I’ve got that beat...
1958 Ford (2 door Fairlane, if I remember correctly.)
Bought in 1968, for $50.00. According to VA law at the time, I was too young to buy a car on my own, but the dealer overlooked that. I was very poor, and the dealer let me pay him $5.00 a week, which I faithfully did.
My fortunes have changed, but I still buy used cars. I cannot imagine paying what they are asking for EVs.
I bought a 1966 Pontiac GTO in November of 1965 for $2879.00.
