I don’t know about Ford. It’s really hard to say, but they won’t have a huge head start on Tesla unless you assume they will start early and fast and Tesla will start late and slow.

The ramp to the new production target includes plans to build about 15,000 next year after the electric truck's spring launch and 55,000 in 2023
targeting annual production of more than 80,000 in 2024, up from its prior target of more than 40,000, according to the sources, who asked not to be identified.
--------------------
For 2022 Ford said they will make 15,000 F-150 Lightnings.
If we assume they ship starting beginning of 2nd quarter 2022 (Monday April 3 2022).
Deduct 2 weeks out of the year for 1 week holidays in Nov & 1 in Dec.
37 weeks of production. Working 5 days per week.
Total about 185 production days for 2-4 qtrs 2022
So maybe average of only 81 F-150 Lightnings per day.
What we don't know is how many 8-hour shift production lines will be used.
Looks to be pretty slow rate.
