Ford has officially started full production of the F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center.
The company compares the significance of the moment to the launch of the Ford Model T.
The automaker grabbed a lot of headlines by announcing that the Ford F-150 Lightning would start at $40,000, with a range of up to 300 miles.
It quickly accumulated 200,000 reservations for the electric pickup and realized that the demand was much higher than anticipated.
The company quickly ramped up its production plan and now plans to ramp up to an annual production rate of 150,000 units by the end of next year.
