"We're Off To The Races": Ford Secures 44,000 Reservations For Electric F-150...
• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler DurdenWhile Tesla's Cybertruck remains in limbo somewhere, Ford has already secured over 44,000 reservations for its new electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck, its CEO said on Friday.
Made famous earlier this week when President Sleepy Joe woke up long enough to tear-ass down a track in one at a press conference, Ford had previously said it took 20,000 reservations in the 12 hours succeeding the reveal alone.
"This sucker is quick," Biden said at the press conference.
The truck was revealed at 9:30PM EST on Wednesday at the company's world headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan.
Before updating the number on Twitter on Friday to 44,500, CEO Jim Farley said on CNBC on Thursday: "The response has been great. With 20,000 orders already, we're off to the races."
