Oct 14, 2026 · 0:30

The city of Ledgerville! A carmaker's electric sales fell about eighty percent. Baron Von Bottomline: a transitory headwind, lapping an incentive-driven prior-year base! Dash translates: buyers rushed last autumn, before a tax credit ended. Pop: pickups fell 1.9%. Zap: one electric truck, the discontinued Lightning, down 97.1%. And so, once again, a comparison is explained.

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%.
