No flipping F150 Lightnings

[RAMd®d]

They haven't been on the market long enough and have been in such short supply that there is no way to judge whether they sell well in those areas.


So it isn't canon.

But I think it's a solid educated guess that might be bolstered by knowing the sales of eVs in general in rural areas.

It's not much of a stretch to hypothesize that truck in general would be called upon to tax batteries harder than cars.

While in fact, it's a question as to whether or not an eV truck will work well in rural areas to be a popular work vehicle, I believe there's still a lot of bias/mistrust of the capabilities of buyers in those areas that will slow sales noticeably.

Now, potentially, a rural site could host not only a high capacity charging station but a large solar array as well, making a municipal station unnecessary, and an eV, especially as a second vehicle, very viable.

So yes, it's opinion, and I'll just have to wait and see how it works out.

Ford is telling dealers to add a provision to sales contracts that prohibit someone from selling their F150 Lightning pickup for one year from delivery...

That's an antitrust violation on its face.
Not to mention the potential illegality of trying to dictate what an individual does with their property after having taken ownership of it...
First Sale Doctrine makes it a moot point, I would assume unless the buyer signs a contract with those specific terms.

Dealers want to make the gouging profits! Good luck enforcing that contract clause!
