So I say it's still the price. If they get to the point where they cost less as originally spun to consumers, they will sell, but there isn't enough better about them to command $10,000 more.

Yes the Lightning is expensive but the average transaction price for a new full size truck is $65,000 today. I'd say the problem is range. People buy trucks today as all purpose family vehicles. They are likely the vehicle expected to be used for the family road trip and 200 miles of highway range doesn't cut it.
