It's surprising that you decided to nitpick on hyperbole than any of his other frankly valid claims.

A "small number of electric cars" isn't nonsense. Ford sold as many F-150s in 2021, than Tesla has sold in it's lifetime.

That's not quite true. From googling really quick, Ford sold 726k F-150s. In that same year, Tesla sold 936k cars. If you're comparing the number of cars Ford sold last year, you'd be closer but still incorrect by a few thousand cars. Ford sold about 1.91 million cars in 2019 while Tesla has sold 2.3 million cars by the end of 2021. I wouldn't consider 2 million cars a small number.

Absolutely false. Accordingly to this article Ford sold 663k F-150 in 2021: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/12/02/ford-pickup-remains-amer... Tesla is selling pretty much that amount of vehicles every two quarters.
