I think what you're failing to understand is that Ford had a great legacy with the SVT F150 Lightning back in the 90s. For any car buff the "Lightning" moniker is a kind of rekindling of pushing the envelope back in the SVT days of Ford.
Now I'm not saying the electric Lightning has anything SVT-like about it in its current form. In fact I had to take a vehicle of mine to a Ford service center (which I avoid at all cost) a few times over the last few weeks to work out a random transmission bug with them and I was surprised at the number of Mach-E and Lightning there for service. But the Lightning was a great pedigree from days gone by and it's unfortunate the vehicle of today isn't really what he originally stood for [0].
I'm not sold on Ford's current entrants into the EV space. I think there are much better options for the money. Ford also let dealerships full on rip people off when they were hard to get. That, in itself, is inexcusable and they should be held accountable.
