Even though they're losing a massive amount on each one? Ford loses $36,000 on every EV.
Maybe not 60k OTD but I'm pretty confident a consumer armed with the right information and who can negotiate could easily lop a huge amount off of a Lightning.
But you aren't buying it from Ford, you're buying it from a dealer. The truck sitting on the lot has already been sold off of Ford's books, it now sits on the dealer's books.

Ahh, yes good point.
That said, Lightnings sit on lots wayyyyy longer than the gas F-150s. Many of the dealers overstocked.

"Car Dealership Guy" on Twitter/X posted last week that several Ford dealers are telling him they're hearing price cuts are coming to the Lightning. Historically when he has posted things like that he's been right.

Lol, hence why my original comment was that you could probably get a $75k truck for $60k.
I wouldn't be surprised if dealers are dumping them at or near wholesale.

The dealership isn't losing $36,000 on each Lightning. You're negotiating with the dealership, not Ford.

Talk to dealers, they aren't.
I guess. You save $12,500 (not including tax credit) right off the bat of a MB electric vehicle at the dealer here. Plastered in all of the windows. I've posted plenty of pics.

No, "i guess"...its a fact. In that case Mercedes has given rebates to get the dealer to that point. Without rebates if the dealer had done that they would lose money, theres not $12,000 of profit in the car.
EV adoption itself is the highest it's ever been, but with high interest rates, layoffs from the tech sector and car prices at an all time high, there is an overall decline in sales. Dealership lots are full right now, but they are not budging on price
Good data but it is 5 years out of date, in that time price of solar has dropped significantly. Either way I am a big fan of solar and hydro but only if it is deployed responsibly. Hydro can cause devastating environmental damage. Solar can be deployed artfully and even be a benefit to crops but it is hardly done that way because it requires more effort.
