Reply to comment by Schmorganski in Ford hikes prices on its F-150 Lightning again, as production resumes after EV battery fire by Shakawakahn

The demand was too high. It'll take a decade before they're ready to roll out cheaper trim versions.

No matter how many Tesla stans appear to say otherwise, people want this truck and will pay.

I was thinking about getting one, then I saw the price hike. Imma just get a Prius and wait.

Might consider a Chevy Bolt; half the price of the F150 and you're not lugging around an extra engine like the Prius.

I drove around the Chevy bolt as a rental a month or so ago & that thing feels so compact & tiny! Way tinier than my prius @ home & I have a c. I'm 5'4 & my head just about touches the ceiling of my prius as it is lol

Was your seat lowered? My husband is 6'8 and his head does not hit the ceiling of my Bolt.

I own a Bolt, I’m 6’1”. And I completely disagree, head doesn’t even scrape the ceiling. Although I have an EUV not an EV. But I have more space in the front then my wife’s minivan or my dad’s truck.

I appreciate you being in a smaller car being so tall haha but ya on my prius the back has the most space I think but the bolt I felt the front was a good amount of leg room compared to mine but it's just the compactness vs my prius c that deters me from being a fan of the bolt.

Edit: yall are so weird for down voting this lol

My uncle paid like $30k over MSRP for his. All he does is talk about how much he loves it. Especially the frunk that has a drain which he uses as a cooler for tailgating.
