A ton of dealership money comes in due to their service side. For all electrics there's no oil change. Brakes last ages. Fewer parts to break down. Etc. Dealerships will lose a ton of money on service work, including missing out on selling a new vehicle to a current customer that comes in for an oil change.

Also, almost no one should buy a Ford lightning. Only people that use it like a car and not a truck, but want to look like a truck owner.
