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

How many times has Tesla not been able to produce a product when they said they would, or not met the demand?

We're in uncharted territory right now.

I don't see it that way. There were a lot of naysayers who thought serious reliable EV coud not be achieved.
The best the legacy manufactures could could come up with were the Leaf and the Bolt.
Tesla showed that EV could be much more than a small commuter car.
They didn't just talk about it. They changed the face of EV.
Sure there were growing pains, but in the end they raised the bar for EV.
They showed the world that EV was possible, if you were creative and determined. Tesla had nothing holding them back.
They were able to simply think outside the box and run with it.
The rest of the world is now playing catch up.
