Jimmy I agree that there will
Jimmy I agree that there will be some growing pains in the production ramp in Austin. Tesla is the first successful American startup car company in what… like 100 years? And they are making a truck that totally breaks conventional design. Of course there will be growing pains. They are treading uncharted waters. So growing pains like fit and finish issues I agree with. That’s where Ford has the advantage of making cars for 100 years longer. But that is all “inside the box” stuff. Ford is now having to go “outside the box” with the electric drivetrain. There will be growing pains here for Ford. This is where Tesla is hands down the champ. Other me may catch up in the coming years, but it ain’t now. So the question is this: Tesla gets more miles of range with a smaller battery pack… how is this possible? Efficiency. Thinking outside the box. Vertical integration. Ford will probably have better fit and finish. But if you had your choice between having your fender 1mm off or an inferior drivetrain, you would choose the 1mm panel gap.
