Or you could just buy a Rivian SUV or GMC Hummer EV SUV; Rivian has early production trucks built so the SUV should follow soon, the Hummer pickup is ahead of the Ford pickup so the Hummer SUV should be ahead of any Ford SUV on the same platform.
Hummer EV is more like a joke vehicle, especially if you look at the price.

The Lightning is the only real truck so far out of Cybrtrk, Rivian, Hummer, Lightning.
I don't know how you define a "real truck", surely F150 Lightning looks like a truck look everyone is accustomed to, but... given its electric drive train, that will be a problem. I mean we've been over this a thousand times, especially with the conversions on this forum - you can't shove EV guts into an ICE vehicle and expect it to perform in all aspects. You can have performance, but you can't have range. Trucks, naturally, have even more problems. Not only the brick-style aerodynamics is bad for your range, but so is the heavy frame intended for hauling heavy stuff both in the bed and behind it.

Cybertruck really is THE ONLY EV truck in the list. Others may lack truckiness, or EVness, but CT is the only one that is expected to combine the two worlds. Sure, it may seem to compromise some of the traditional truckiness, but most of it is either superficial or has workarounds. Those are still very necessary compromises to make for the good EVness.

The article seems to have been removed - the link now just gets a 404 error and a search in Teslarati for "Ford F-150 Lightning customer deliveries pushed back to Q3" finds nothing.
Yup, seems like they've removed it. There was one comment saying Ford's comms director replied on Twitter saying there is no delay, so perhaps the author recognized the error and dropped it. Will see.
