Ford to pause production of F-150 Lightning electric pickup trucks

For the third quarter, Ford reported a $1.2 billion loss on Model e, its separate EV unit. The company projects losses of $5 billion for Model e for all of 2024, attributing the financial hit in part to "industrywide pricing pressure."

Earlier this year, Ford scrapped plans for an all-electric, three-row SUV to focus on hybrid models. At the time, the company said its plan was to "speed customer adoption" of more affordable vehicles with longer driving ranges. That includes developing a new family of three-row, hybrid SUVs.

Electric vehicle prices are tumbling as cars pile up on lots amid cooling consumer demand. The average price of a new EV in May was $56,648, according to Kelley Blue Book, down roughly 15% from two years earlier, when the average price was $65,000.



If you want to stop losing money, I suggest you never start up production on the Lightning again. Everybody who thought they wanted one already bought one.
