Ford has decided to temporarily halt production of the all-electric F-150 Lightning due to prioritizing gas and hybrid F-Series trucks that are more profitable and require less aluminum. This decision comes after a fire at a key aluminum supplier's factory, significantly impacting Ford's earnings and production capabilities. Despite a 39.7% year-over-year increase in F-150 Lightning sales, the numbers are overshadowed by the demand for gas-powered F-Series trucks. Ford plans to resume F-150 Lightning production once conditions are favorable, as they aim to recover from the losses caused by the factory fire.
