I haven’t kept up with everything, but I did see speculation that they may just be pausing production.
I bought a Lightning about three months ago, and honestly I love driving it. Can I drive it cross country confidently, probably not. That would take careful planning. But it does everything I need on a daily basis. My commute to work and back is about 50 miles. I plug it in when I get home and it is ready to go in the morning. I work shift work, my work is about 25 miles in one direction, but my wife works and kids go to school in a town about the same distance in the opposite direction. Our oldest plays competitive soccer in the later town. I have no problem getting off work, picking up the younger two kids from her, and driving back home to get them to bed at a reasonable hour. I'm still fully charged in the morning.
My family has land a little under 30 miles away. I have no issue buying whatever I need for hunting or fencing or whatever and driving up there.
The Lightning meets 99%+ of my needs. And if I need something that can tow a trailer cross country, I still have my old truck which had too many miles and was too old to be worth much in trade.
And on top of that, it is like driving a sports car that rides like a truck. It is about as quick off the line as my bike (a Harley 1200) is and has instant torque available no matter whether I am cruising in town or getting annoyed at the car in front of me going 69 in a 70. When you hit the accelerator there is no waiting for the transmission to downshift and the engine to rev up to hit a proper torque curve. It just takes off.
