That just means regular F150s are more profitable than Lightnings which is not a surprise.  F150 is probably more profitable than just about everything else.

Greedy electrical unions lobby for this legislation. Just like every ten years they come up with another plug configuration so school buildings need upgrades. New dryers used to be 3-pronged -- probably originally 2-pronged. They are are now 4-pronged. I get the grounding advantage.  But you don't need any more prongs. But someday they'll be 5 pronged, then 6, then 7. In the name of safety of course!  Baloney!  Traffic lights went from 1 signal to 2 in each direction.  Good idea since either a bulb might burn out or a truck might block your view. But now a third signal is creeping onto the scene. Someday there will be 4 in each direction, then 5, then 6. It will never end.  Greed.

Twenty minutes is still too long when I can fill my gas tank in 5 minutes.  Charging overnight is not a problem. Stopping for recharge on the road is a problem.

73 % of Americans say they can't afford a new car. Car loan defaults are at record highs. How can the automotive industry survive if only 27 % of the buying public is able to afford a NEW car?  Well you have to charge more money for the cars that are being sold!  Just like these fire truck mfrs. They only sell a relatively few trucks, so they ask ridiculous amounts of money for them, strangling the taxpayer. I don't care how much diamond plate, steel, aluminum, electronics or hydraulics is in these trucks, they're not worth a million dollars or more!  The balloon is filling up with air. Every once in a while the powers that be untie the balloon in the form of easing interest rates etc. because they don't want the balloon to pop. Now you have the govt. shutdown.  The United States and many states are broke!  The balloon will pop. Get ready for it. Oh but wait. Never mind.  AI -- as in Skynet from the Terminator movies --  will become self-aware and will take over our entire lives including our military defense systems and life on this planet will just about be wiped out. So you won't have to worry about money. The book 1984 written back 60 or so years ago predicted Big Brother as in big business/govt. will know every move you make.  Of course that came true.  And so will the Terminator prediction.  Have a nice day now!

The biggest tell is that Ford is prepared to pause Lightning production  and give the aluminium bodies over to other F Series production.   I feel for Ford, things are really piling up on them, aluminum, chips, and a major course correction with BEVs.   Is is any wonder that Ford constantly tears up and redoes it plans.. Mind you, when a corporate goes all in on a production path, there can be serious ramifications if they need to suddenly switch. I hope Ford comes up with a beautiful Segway to hybrids and EREVs.

We all knew at some point Ford will start having capacity utilization issues. 

Cancel BOC and do what then with an empty multi billion dollar massive factory?? 

Louisville is being gutted and totally rebuilt.  

No matter how impressive CE1 may be. It doesn't mean that Ford is pursuing a "Flexible/responsive" Product Development and manufacturing strategy. The fact that CE1 is launching with a revolutionary manufacturing Concept in an existing factory and not a new factory speaks volumes to the need for BOC. Looking at BEV demand and Ford's manufacturing footprint. The BOC should be canceled, and Future investments should focus on improving the flexibility and productivity of existing factories. IMO
