I guess it depends on where you get your numbers. Car and Driver and Automotive News reports the top selling vehicle in 2023 YTD (six months) is the F150 with sales of 382,893 vs the Model Y which is 4th with 190,500. This article was written four days ago. They noted that the Chevy Silverado and the Dodge Ram also outsold the Model Y.
Ford had some supply chain issues during the first quarter and you can't sell what you can't manufacture.
BTW, CNBC reports Ford EV sales fell YTD 2023, while F150 sales had great growth (23% I believe). EV sales constituted a whopping
2.8% of total Ford vehicle sales.

To sum it up. Ford sold more F150s than Tesla did Model Y's despite the fact that the F150s cost considerably more AND taxpayers are forced to subsidize Model Y sales.
Hmmm. Don't mean to rain on your parade, but your numbers are out of date AND you didn't cite any sources.
People by and large do not want to drive appliances.
