And it’s easy to see why they jumped at the chance to stand in line. The formula consists of taking the best-selling vehicle in America — the F-Series pickup — and giving it an all-electric powertrain.

The question is, then, does that formula translate...

Production of the Ford F-150 Lightning began back on April 26, but instead of all of those electric trucks ending up in the hands of buyers, it seems as though a good chunk of the EV pickups are "starting to pile up the company test track in Dearborn, MI," according to spy photographers who are on the scene.

In case you haven't heard, Ford F-150 Lightning production is now underway. It kicked off April 26 with a livestream event from the Lightning assembly line in Dearborn, but Ford has a welcome surprise for customers awaiting their new truck. Regardless of the trim level, all Lightnings exceed original estimates for horsepower and payload capacity. Trucks fitted with the standard-range battery pack now have an official rating of 452 hp. That's an increase of 26 ponies over Ford's original estimate of 426 hp. For Lightnings with the extended-range battery, power increases from 563 hp to 580 hp. Regardless of the battery pack, torque remains the same at 775 pound-feet for all applications. The Lightning's estimated range is still 320 miles...
