Reply to comment by i_am_covered in Ford says EV unit losing billions, should be seen as startup by EW234

What makes you think it wouldn't be?

Because the F-150 is available now, and the truck is nowhere to be found.

The F-150 is in production but at a very low volume. Ford isn't really breaking away from Tesla unless they get the Lighting up to real production numbers.

Well it's not in production at the moment. What about in July when it is?

The ~15k Lightnings delivered so far is a good start, but 3 million pickups are sold every year in the US.

The cybertruck will still be profitable before the lightning is. That's not to say the lightning isn't a good truck. It's just the reality of where the companies are right now.
