Unfortunately I think Ford is going to make GM look silly. I personally don’t like the lightning but overall I think Ford is going to show they are better at planning and following through

Haha!... GM is on plan, and on schedule... check back in a year to 18 months when Ford looks stupid because they did not build ground up EV, or an EV platform.


Ford will definitely get off to a faster start, but with no battery factory, and buying all the components, a couple miles into the marathon other strategies will look much better.

Agreed. Ford's plan allows them to get off to quick start, but scaling will be a problem into the future.

Ford more then doubled their Money in the Rivian stock they sold, and they still hold 80% of their shares
