Aki: credits ended, sales followed. The discontinued Lightning truck was down 97.1%; the F-Series as a whole, 1.9%.
Behind Ford's third-quarter sales, down 6.6% overall, its electric-vehicle sales fell about 80%, and 67.5% for the year so far, because a year earlier buyers had rushed to beat the end of the $7,500 federal tax credit; the discontinued F-150 Lightning was down 97.1%, while the F-Series as a whole was off only 1.9%.
