The Lightning, shares a lot of exterior sheetmetal and interior trim and components with its ICE F150 counterparts. An already familiar "face" in the marketplace. Pricing for now isn't too insane given current market conditions. It may do well in the suburban grocery getter/Home Depot weekend warrior segment. But that enormous touchscreen dangling off the dash.....ugh! Auto dimming or not, how annoying are those things at night?
If it’s anything like a Tesla it goes to a night mode. Changes the presentation accordingly, not just the brightness. It’s pretty easy to live with. Certainly no worse than analog gauges.
Re sharing F150 components. The danger of that is the test drive. Most test driving an electric right after a gas version won’t even look at the gasser unless they have some special needs like long range towing or whatever. Of course that could work to their advantage as far as price etc.
Jmho.
