Sure they would. It would have to be $200,000 before they could even make a profit. Ford sucks at making EVs.

Well if I'm driving through the ghetto and a stray bullet...
Didn't they use full metal jacket? Supersonic hollow points might not go through. Distance is a factor too. More likely to get hit by a distant stray bullet than being directly fired on at close range. At least that's how it is for most Americans. Have any of you been shot at?

It might be safer to drive something that does not look like a Tank, because it is easier to target.
Remember the Bradley Fighting Vehicle Debacle?

I'm tired of hearing about how production is so hard.
Of course it is. Tesla has had a decade and 4 product launches to figure that out AND give realistic production schedules.
Pandemic over, supply chain intact, No more excuses.

Ford doesn’t need to sell many EV’s to make a profit…..
The Lightning is a way better EV than the CT so…. What are you talking about?

I hear they on loosing money on every EV sold, but will work hard to make it up on volume.
Lol.. your being tired of hearing about something doesn't change anything.
When you are using parts that have never been used before - it's a different "hard".
Tesla has never done Cybertruck type work before - no one has.
Here they talk about the thicknesses of their product and how they changed the thickness of the material after they started using it. Its amazing.

Not while in the US.
I posted to gt that the 1.8mm stainless isn't really made to stop a bullet. It's tough and they showed that with subsonic ammo, but Tesla's engineer said that anything supersonic would penetrate it, which is a vast majority of ammo that is used.
That's it. The trolling part was gt first saying he wasn't talking about bullets, which is why I quoted his post 3 times.
No one should shoot their truck to test...or they will have a hole in it.

That’s most likely the case lol
Thanks Franz, Larz and Jay.
It just gets better and better the more you hear about it.

Maybe and explanation of the reason for the slowdown in production can be explained.

Obviously it's not. I can shoot the Lightning with my tommy gun and there will be holes all the way through the door. The CT is a technological tour de force.
So glad Tesla didn't talk about the "scuba battery pack" and "wave mode". There would be another 10 pages of hate on this thread. Tons of people would be saying that the F-150 has the same function.

I think you may have just jinxed it. Those guys will be here shortly.

Rivian showed videos YEARS ago of the R1T driving through water door high with it nearly going over the hood.... so somehow they can do that without bragging about "scuba battery pack". The battery pack in the Model 3 sits so low yet after 6+ yrs i still have to hear from anyone who destroyed their battery pack driving through 10 inch deep water... in times of iPhones being IP68 ... i don't think a metal box containing a battery being waterproof at 20 inch depth is a sensation...
