Part of the reason for the Ford Model T's success was its versatility. It was popular among farmers and third parties sold numerous conversion kits to make it into a tractor, snowmobile, plow, generator, etc. In many ways the Lightning seems destined to fill this role today by acting as a mobile power station for jobsites and remote areas

Not sold on this vehicle. A cursory google search brings up a 9.6kW battery system for $4260. Just seems overpriced for its capabilities

  You can connect a 1000W inverter to a Prius and it'll happily run for days until the tank is empty. You probably aren't going to see those at a job site though. https://invertersrus.com/prius-power-inverter/ https://invertersrus.com/prius-power-inverter/

  The highest level trim has 130 kWh of energy storage. It can output 9.6kW of power. It looks like the battery alone would be about $30-$40K, plus you’d need an inverter and.. it’s not a truck. https://sunwatts.com/amp/100-kwh-solar-battery/ https://sunwatts.com/amp/100-kwh-solar-battery/
