I think Ford only sold ~3,700 Lightnings in October. I bet Tesla is selling CT at a much faster rate than that by February. Of course, that ultimately depends on price and what trims are available.
- rootusrootus 3y agoI won't be surprised if Tesla has not produced 3700 CTs by the end of 2024. Ignoring the question of how many real buyers exist, pricing, etc, producing them is a problem. Elon himself recently said mass production was farther off, as I recall, like 2025. Those nice big flat body panels don't make the truck easier to produce, but quite the opposite.
- _ea1k 3y agoIt seems like they are already producing >12/week. It won't take a lot of production expansion to hit a number like that. At the very least, they'll pass the Hummer EV.
