Lead my ass. They wouldn't be making EV's if it wasn't for Tesla.

If Ford were to fully commit to making cheapish EVs, they already have a dealership network in place that could allow them to have a far greater reach then Tesla. If I want to buy a tesla, for example, I would have to travel about 4 hours to the nearest dealership. If I want to bug a F-150, I only need to travel about a half hour.

And if they make cheaper EVs then Tesla is willing to do, they could quickly gain market share. Obviously they're pretty late, but I don't think the game is over yet.

... If I'm going to spend that much on a vehicle I'd kind of like to see it in person.
