> It has already has a production rate higher than its rival EV trucks and has outsold them as well this year. This struck me as dead wrong, so I looked it up. You're dead wrong. BUT, you're less-dead wrong than I expected: Estimated sales numbers for 2024 as of 11/23/2024: Tesla CT: 16,000 Rivian R1T: 16,312 Ford F150 Lightning: 22,807 I'm honestly surprised the CT is estimated to have sold so many trucks! But the Ford sold over 40% more. But as per the original article: Whomst amongst us can say whether the line was shut down due to low demand or to increase production / retool for a cheaper line? https://fordauthority.com/2024/11/ford-f-150-lightning-sales-numbers-figures-results-third-quarter-2024-q3/ https://fordauthority.com/2024/11/ford-f-150-lightning-sales...

Well you moved the goal posts from what he originally said which was that the production rate was higher not that it sold more cars this year. Cybertruck has been ramping this year. And he's right as cyber truck is now the third best selling EV right now https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/1gal5ds/tesla_cybertruck_becomes_third_best_selling_ev_in/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/1gal5ds/tesla_cybertr...
