Lightening interest far exceeded Ford's expectations.
I've said all along, that once the OEM's started getting into EV, it would begin to stress Tesla's hold on the market. Ford appears to be deeper than GM, but I couldn't count them out of the race just yet.
I think being unable to meet demand puts more stress on Ford than Tesla.
It's one thing to talk about and advertise the coming of the F150 EV its another to actually produce the product
Agreed. Tesla sells about 400-500k cars annually. My guess would be either Ford didn't expect demand to be so high, or simply can't meet demand for a variety of factors. There is one major difference though, Ford sells a lot more cars in total. Now that they know demand is there, I expect a major ramp-up. I am sure there are other factors like government incentives that explain the number.
