Nugget at the end - Ford confirms they are sold out for the next 2 years with the Lightning.
So, if we take him way too literally, then either:

-150k is two years of production
-150k minus estimated cancellations is two years of production.

If they REALLY were only going to build 15k in the first year, then 150k reservations would be probably 3 years of production, not two.

So, I'm taking this to mean that the 15k number is wrong... mostly because I want it to be wrong because I want my Lightning haha

Darren Palmer has already said 15k is wrong, we just don't know what the actual target is. Could be lower, but I think everyone believes it is higher.

You don't exactly want to tell the president 'no' now do you?

that can mean the 1st two years are sold out and it’ll take the 3rd year to get to 150K.

On the Biden thing. I don’t agree with him on everything but I appreciate having a car guy in the White House.

He's much more of a train guy, but he understands that Americans love their cars and the only way to get us off oil is to promote the hell out of EVs.
