    They are moving the investment to hybrids because there will be new ev truck competition next year from Tesla and Chevrolet. Lightning sales are up as are ev truck sales overall. There is likely a cap on how many people an ev truck makes sense for until ev infrastructure is further rolled out, but the investment is being moved to hybrids, not diesel or gas, so the market are not total reactionaries. Eventually, hybrids will be the minority product as they carry a costly redundancy that will be unnecessary for most people.

    Do the rest of the trucks now, please. The sooner we get these monstrosities off the streets, the better the streets will be.

      Have you noticed how many people drive trucks, they don’t ever haul anything.
