At least Ford has the guts to
At least Ford has the guts to publish sales numbers rather than misleading all of the easily-led fans who believe whatever Elon feeds them. When they start publishing actual sales numbers, they will be taken seriously with the rest of the grownups in the auto industry. Right now, theyre nothing but another Tucker except Tesla has a schtick with their EV technology that most of drivers in American dont want. it is like Ford bragging about how much their commercial grade trucks can tow. Theyre the best, but almost no one cares...just like the only people who care about Tesla are people who foolishly bought a Tesla. Had Fisker climbed into bed with Mercedes and Toyota early on, it would be a Karma owner talking right now and the Model S would be going for nothing in ebay. Fortunately, Elon will get into bed with anyone to keep his unimpressive cars rolling off the line at a loss.
As for the backlog, Ford doesnt have a ridiculous backlog because they are a real automaker with factories to build their vehicles. They dont have a ridiculous backlog, but they sell more trucks in a day than Tesla sells cars in a month...if not in a year.
You forgot to mention that Tesla has more trolls who go around the internet bragging about dominating a segment that most people dont care about. No one challenges them in the number of misinformed fanboys. Now move on and go play with the rest of the Tesla trolls.
