Comment on Ford ends F-150 Lightning production, starts battery storage business
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 day agoThis is a common argument, but the vast majority of people at home do not carry gravel or sand on a weekly basis. What they need is a rental truck for those items. The cost of 100k is ludicrous. Comparing to a rental truck you would need to be carrying raw material like that on average 2x a week to even break even with the payments.

I’m talking about contractors, trades people and people who do this for a living.

Some people actually work for a living, they don’t spend the day replying to email.

I think we can all agree its >1% but also a small number. That small number is plenty for them to keep making them. But alas, most of those folks did not buy them.
