Arguments for the "rushed" perspective:
Platform Compromise: Critics argue the Lightning was essentially an internal combustion engine (ICE) truck converted to an EV platform, rather than a ground-up electric design like those from competitors Rivian and Tesla.

Production Timeline: Ford announced the Lightning with great fanfare in May 2021 and started production in April 2022, a relatively quick turnaround. This speed may have prioritized market entry over long-term | |
