Ford F-150 Lightning Used Sales Surge as New Production Ends

The Ford F-150 Lightning is experiencing a surge in used sales, moving in approximately 20 days at prices 50% to 60% below the original sticker. This rapid turnover occurs after Ford ended new production in December 2025, citing poor sales of high-priced electric vehicles. While the new model failed to meet financial expectations, the used market has found a 'sweet spot' for buyers seeking affordable electric pickups. Ford plans to replace the Lightning with the more affordable Fathom EV pickup in 2027, aiming for 100,000 units in its first year.

Slate: Every Electric Truck CouldBe Profitable by Selling Extras

Slate’s CEO says every barebones electric pickup will be gross margin positive, driven by a pricing model that charges for options usually included by competitors. After the federal EV tax rebate ended, base price rose to $24,950 before destination, positioning Slate’s truck as cheaper than many sedans but pricier than some crossovers. The company targets an 80,000-vehicle breakeven and expects roughly 60% of buyers to upgrade to the squareback SUV, lifting the average price toward $30k; the fastback option could push it higher. If reservations convert and option-ups are popular, Slate could reach profitability before peers, even before adding further accessories.
