Put a nail in the Lightning's coffin. Hasn't shipped in 3 weeks, but still thousands sitting in dealer lots unsold.
Maybe they can run a "Buy a F-250 King Ranch, get a Lightning free." Promotion!
More on this story from Channel 4 in Detroit.

“ Ford Motor Co. stopped delivery earlier this month of its 2024 F-150 Lightning pickups to address an issue that appears to be related to the headlights, the Detroit Free Press has learned.”
We been making headlights for over 100 years, but still can’t get it right.
Thanks again Model-e for you contribution to ford.

Why is this news? 🤣🤣🤣
So there's a stop ship, not good but not rare at a VO plant. Why is this news?
Q1 profits immediately improved.
“so it could perform quality checks for an issue it did not specify”
The issue is a lack of customers.
