Gotta love the US. Here in Canada it’s illegal to sell over MSRP. There are a TONNE of Lightnings in my area. Now when I get one will have to be used unfortunately. Really sad.

    That didn’t really stop Canadian dealers from being scummy. I saw a bunch of “used” lightnings that were ~2 mo old and had ~2,000 km on them, being sold well above MSRP.

    Aren't they coming out with the new lightning? Its supposed to have a gas generator onboard to extend its range up to 700 miles or like half of that when towing, which is what I heard was a major complaint on the battery only lightning
