Comparing it to the F150 is idiotic. That's the most sold car in the US and in a different segment.

Compare it to other comparable cars in the same segment and it looks pretty damn good.

Lower volume high margin cars are really worth it for companies and Ford wishes it had an EV in that classed that sold have as well. The Model X sells in numbers not unlike Mach E while having double the price.

>most profitable and iconic cars in the modern era.

That's what the parent said. Not "in the EV market segment", not "looks pretty damn good".

I agree it's a silly comparison to make normally, but it's a perfectly apt reply to someone stating something so obviously out-of-touch, like the Model X being the most profitable car in the modern era.

They said the most profitable car! I know it isn't a good comparison, I'm just saying what they are saying isn't true.

The profit MARGIN of the model x is great tho.

I assumed he meant margin.

In terms of total profit, the Model Y will be the most profitable car next year, overtaking the F150.
