Wow. Just Wow. You must be on some REALLY powerful drugs. Pretty much nothing you said is correct. Tesla has LONG poo-poo'd V2G. Elon tweeting "Yes" is just another in a VERY long list of Elon's lies (where's my hovering Roadster?).
You do know that the ONLY reason that Tesla has EVER made a profit is due to the sale of EV tax credits? Tesla would not even exist without gazillions of dollars of government support.
Perfecting their electric vehicles? Sorry, you are new here. The quality of Tesla vehicles has been on a downward trajectory ever since Model 3. Go read the issues thread about the refreshed MS. Software doesn't work, cars arriving with dents, interior trim not affixed, tons of other things. This is on a car that has barely changed in 9 years! My wife regularly complains about her 2018 MS (AC cuts out randomly, SC can't diagnose it - they see the shutdown in the logs but can't figure out what's going on) and wants her 2012 MS back.
Well that was a bit aggressive.
Anyway, your point about the Roadster still not being out is actually pretty fair. Tesla is pretty bad at delivering at the appropriate times, and their schedules often get delayed by years, which I definitely see as a concern they gotta fix. The way I see it, though, is that their delays are similar to the ones experienced by some big-name movies and music artists, in which it takes them much longer than anticipated to finish a project, but when it releases, it delivers.
Tesla's main source of income is through credits, but their exponential sales of vehicles is still there. It would be misleading to not also state their expansion and success regarding scaling and sales, especially when you compare them to vehicles such as the Chevy Volt, which has had much less sales than Tesla in recent years.
As someone who's got to experience the early-gen 2012 Model S and the early-gen Model 3, as well as the new Model S Plaid, I've seen huge improvements in Tesla's vehicles. I agree that there are still flaws, especially in the first few iterations of a new car they release (which is obviously a problem), but Tesla is always quick to fix these. In my experience alone, the 2012 MS Plaid has had so many more improvements over the 2012 MS. One key part about Tesla's vehicles for me is also the continuous software updates, which allow the cars to be improved on over the years.
Also, Ford understands how to build a pickup truck. The exterior lighting, the trailer assist technology, usability of the bed and frunk, you name it. The CT will suck at all of those things. Summon barely works now, you want to add a trailer to the mix? I wish the Lightning had more range, but it will be a mush more useable truck than the CT. Not that that's a bad thing - very few people actually need/use a pickup truck for pickup truck stuff. But I think Ford saw an angle and will capture effectively all of the traditional truck buyers.
I agree, they do know how to make a traditional pickup truck, and they definitely will make profit from the Lightning, especially from people who will buy traditional trucks. I don't know what evidence you have for saying the CT will suck at those things; considering I think it's a great truck, I'd like to be shown why I'm wrong, if I am. I'm not sure how Summon being pretty poor right now is evidence for why the CT will be a poor truck. Would be great if you could show me some thing that help support your arguments.
