Yea, I hate that the Lightning didn’t work out. I loved the vehicle when I test drove it. I just couldn’t justify the price for the range.

All American car makers did not take lessons from Tesla's successes. It seems not even Tesla

They're a great used buy. I get ~315 miles out of mine with mostly highway driving. Paid $45K for a platinum.

Yeah if you have to tow long distances it's not an ideal choice. Under normal use I get 250-350 miles (lower end for high speed cruising, higher for surface roads), which has been plenty. And at 50K (brand new) it was cheaper than any of the comparable gas versions. The unexpected bonus was that it hasn't depreciated much at all in the last few years.
