I think that 250 miles of EV range will be more than enough for most F150 Lightning owners. I agree that Ford should offer a bigger battery version that provides 500 miles of range, but I think that most people don't drive over 100 miles a day, and most will fully recharge their batteries at home overnight. But Ford does need to be prepared for commercial uses of their Lightning truck who demand more capability than the average commuter. I also agree that pricing is a key point. The Cybertruck, and importantly most comparable V8/TTV6 pickups are around $40K. So Ford should be at least shooting for that price point for their entry model F150 Lightning. If Ford's partner Rivian is any example, the starting price might begin at something like $65K-$75K, and even though it's cheaper than the full-boat EV GMC Hummer at $113K, the new Lightning pickup needs to directly compete against gas and diesel pickups in terms of cost and capabilities.
