April 26, 2022—This week, the electric version of Ford's F-150 pickup truck called the F-150 Lightning will officially be rolled out by the automobile manufacturer. This model was announced just last year.

According to Morning in America, the 2022 F-150 Lightning is sold out as of Monday morning. 

“It’s very exciting to be part of history, right?
