Why not just compare the model 3 to an 18-wheeler then? Those weigh way more. Would have made his point better.

And it’s a completely meaningful comparison, as long as you throw away the fact that different vehicles are used for different things.

They're designed for different things. While I'll agree that the many F-150 drivers are using them for their appropriate grade of work or towing, I'm guessing there are more F-150s that are used as grocery-getting-pavement-princesses than all the Tesla Model 3s ever sold.

In that way, F-150 is identical to Tesla Model 3 as far as use case.
