In terms of standard autonomous features, the two cars are pretty evenly matched. The F-150 Lighting also comes with a smart-hitch assist feature, useful for people who intend to use the truck as an actual truck and do some towing.

It also comes with an infrared camera that monitors whether the driver is looking at the road or not, so you won't be able to get away with napping in the back seat while the truck drives itself. BlueCruise can control steering and acceleration and doesn't require the driver to keep their hands on the wheel. The F-150 Lightning comes with Ford's BlueCruise, which is also coming to the Mustang Mach-E later this year. Tesla says these features require you to keep your hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road. The FSD add-on means the car will navigate for you on the highway, automatically change lanes, stop at traffic lights and stop signs, park itself and respond to your summons. President Joe Biden guessed it was around 4.3 seconds, which would fit, though a Ford spokesperson wouldn’t confirm or deny. We don't know how quickly the Ford F-150 Lighting can do 0-60, but Ford has said it's somewhere in the mid-4 second mark. Towing capacity levels out at 10,000 lbs. The dual-motor and single-motor models don't fare quite so well (naturally), with the 0-60 time dropping to 4.5 seconds and 6.5 seconds, respectively. Tesla has been bragging about the Cybertruck's' capabilities, promising that the tri-motor model can pull 14,000 lbs. Tesla Cybertruck vs Ford F-150 Lightning: 0-60 and towing While it's confirmed that the Cybertruck's display will have a customized user interface, we assume that it will still be familiar to owners of other Tesla vehicles. There's a lot we still don't know about the specifics, although Tesla tends to offer the same interior experience across all its cars. But you still get the classic Tesla features, including the yoke-shaped steering wheel, the 17-inch touchscreen display, and the glass roof. Obviously there's no escaping the angular roof, and that straight-edged Cyberpunk-esque design has been added to things like the seats and the dash. You don't want the F-150 Lightning to flop like ‘New Coke’, especially not when the rest of the auto industry moves towards electrification. Ford CEO Jim Farley likened the F-150 to Coca-Cola, which is pretty apt if you ask us. There are some differences on the front end, particularly since there's no need to have a grille on an electric car, but it's clear at a glance that all the F-150s are very closely related.Ĭonsidering that the Ford F-series trucks have been North America's best-selling passenger vehicles for decades, it's crucial that Ford keeps that momentum going. The main selling point for the F-150 Lightning is that the truck is almost identical to its gasoline-powered and hybrid counterparts.
A quad motor model has also been promised, though we know very little about it at the moment. Previously we were told the top-tier Cybertruck was the $69,900 tri-motor model, though that does come with extra hardware and features, including significantly more range (500+ vs Ford's 300) and a third motor for better performance.
The XLT and Lariat also come with extended range options, costing a respective $72,474 and $77,474.
The F-150 Lighting is a lot more similar to the dual-motor Cybertruck, which was previously listed at $49,900 - $10,000 more.įord also sells three additional F-150 Lightning models, with the XLT coming in at $52,974, Lariat starting at $67,474, and the $90,874 Platinum that promises to let you "have it all". That's $74 more expensive than the $39,900 you'd pay for a single-motor Cybertruck, but by saving that meager amount you'd be losing out on quite a lot. The entry level F-150 Lightning, which comes with two motors and all-wheel drive, starts at $39,974.
