Your right that Tesla always starts with the top profit margin vehicles first. Both trucks will likely start shipping early in 2022. My company is part of the partners building the Gigafactory in Texas. It's moving along well but they are a long way from building anything for customers there. Tesla has a quickly evaporating lead in the EV space. Lucid will likely take that crown of tech and engineering lead when they ship their first cars. When it comes to building trucks and making them right Ford has an incredible lead in engineering and quality over Tesla which matters more than that last kW of efficency when it comes to trucks. Which we know Tesla is still very poor with build quality. (I'm a Tesla owner, so I see it first hand) Ford is doing much better in the EV related engineering space than most thought. Their first generation of long range vehicles are doing quite well. They don't have the efficiency lead but they are really good. CT caters to truck buyers that want to make a stylish statement and will realize that it doesn't do all the things trucks should do. We already know Ford has that nailed down. 100,000 orders vs "1 million" after being announced how long ago doesn't mean anything today. Ford F Series alone still runs laps around all! Telsa sales for good reason. We all expect the Lightning to outsell CT after both get a year in. I expect CT to actually convert about a 1/3 of those orders into real sales and shipments.
