Can lightning really strike the same place twice? Yes, it can, per the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:
Lightning can, and often does, strike the same place repeatedly–especially if it’s a tall and isolated object. For example, the Empire State Building is hit about 25 times per year.

For a more in-depth look into driving (and owning) an F-150 Lightning, be sure to check out Tom's ownership/build thread: Is an Electric Pickup Truck A Terrible Idea? (My 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Build Thread)

No comment on the truck, because, yawn, another $90k truck, who cares?

More to come.
