First, tesla is not profitable.

Second, would you consider that the hype, the lies, the cult, and the overly optimistic statements might be a reason that Tesla can sell so many cars? Could Ford pull this off?

> the lies

Which ones? I don't remember any in pre-Autopilot Tesla.

> overly optimistic statements

A lot of companies do that. Tesla had a habit of delivering, at least (again) pre-Autopilot.

> Could Ford pull this off?

If they honestly and deeply cared about making fully electric cars exist, as opposed to making money off some cars, I don't see why not.
