Tesla CEO Elon Musk reacted to a report showing a significant number of unsold Ford F-150 Lightning trucks at dealerships.

This contradicts Musk's previous commendation of Ford's EV strategy and the high demand for the F-150 Lightning. Ford has recently reduced its production capacity and introduced discounts on certain F-150 Lightning variants.
