Ford Halts 2024 F-150 Lightning Shipments for Quality Assurance

Ford has paused shipments of the 2024 F-150 Lightning electric truck for quality inspections, with no specified timeline for resuming shipments. The halt follows a previous production pause due to a "supplier parts concern" and a battery fire incident. Ford plans to ramp up shipments after the checks are completed, while also adjusting pricing for different trims. The company's decision to scale back production and investment in battery factories comes amid "changing" customer demand.
