2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro: This Electric Truck Is Built to Work

We also have a better idea of how Ford is able to offer the Ford F-150 Lightning lineup of electric pickup trucks at a surprisingly low price: starting at $41,669 (with destination) for the standard battery and $51,669 with the extended range. The sheer volume of F-Series sales—about 900,000 a year—provides huge savings by leveraging economies of scale. Ford kept the dimensions of the SuperCrew cab and 5.5-foot bed of the Lightning and Lightning Pro the same as their gasoline counterparts so that there is a giant shared parts bin to pull from. The other key: Ford has a number of services it will offer customers, and while many will appeal to retail customers, it is the commercial fleet owner or business truck operator who stands to benefit the most from data and software-based services des...

Kehlani Shares the Key to Having ‘Fun’ With Makeup & Her Go-To Product

As for the key to Kehlani’s effortless look? Lime Crime’s best-selling Freckle Pen, which easily allows users to “tap and dab” on some natural-looking freckles. “I oftentimes end up with makeup artists covering up my freckles,” she explains. “I do like coverage a lot for my acne and acne scars, but often, it erases my freckles and so my makeup artist just tends to replace the freckles I already have with the freckle pen.” While makeup artistry seems to come easily to the “Can I” singer, she jokes that her beauty journey was a bit “forced.” “I remember going to Sephora when I was about to go on my first tour and I was like, ‘Can somebody in here teach me how to do a basic face that I can do onstage every day? I wi...

D.C. Attorney General Accuses Amazon of Fixing Prices in New Antitrust Lawsuit

“We filed this antitrust lawsuit to put an end to Amazon’s illegal control of prices across the online retail market,” DC Attorney General Karl Racine said in a conference call with reporters. “We need a fair online marketplace that expands options available to (District of Columbia) residents and promotes competition, innovation and choice.” Racine said Amazon, the world’s biggest online retailer, controls 50% to 70% of online market sales. The suit seeks to end Amazon’s use of the allegedly illegal price agreements as well as unspecified damages and penalties. Amazon rejected the allegations, saying the relief Racine is seeking “would force Amazon to feature higher prices to customers, oddly going against core objectives of antitrust law.” “The DC attorney general has it exactly backward...

Luis Fonsi collects his 12th Latin Airplay No. 1 and first since 2019 when “Date La Vuelta,” with Sebastián Yatra and Nicky Jam, ruled for one week.

The Canadian trio also shared the new single “Secret Garden”. The album will arrive on a wave of hype following the band’s 2017 EP and a long string of successful one-off singles — three of which made the tracklist for Eternal Blue (“Constance”, “Circle with Me”, and “Holy Roller”).

In turn, the expectations for each new song b...
