I heard there was a recall to install gas generators in all Ford electric trucks.

And out of elec. But, I can hardly wait until the Charget R/T with it's faux exhaust sound system come out.. NOT!
We are already at peak lithium.
The EV vs ICE battle was fought over 100 years ago with ICE being the winner. EVs will lose again. It will remain a niche product due to physics.
The government requirements are forcing auto manufacturers to overcharge ICE vehicles, increasing inflation.
Folks should buy Ford shares. With all of this negativity, the market makers will run the stock UP in the next few days. Call me on it if I’m wrong. I dare you.
With that many negatives, all of which contradict the claims that electric vehicles are the wave of the future, why the heck are these things still being made?
Are they expecting government subsidies for electric car production, since producing electric cars ties in with all the green energy / reduced emissions business, which government policies are favoring?
Isn’t it also a fact, that under the tax code, these losses will help offset profits from other Ford products, so that they will incur lower tax bills from this?
The biggest losers are the idiots buying them. If FJB runs in 2024, I can see his ass-kissing supporters demanding that he “cancel” their car loans before they’ll vote for him.
Seeing how the government will forse them on all of us they will be fine.
They can always make it up in volume.
The key point is easier to see than this.
If you want an EV, you are going to shop Tesla, Honda or Toyota.
Tesla delivers and the other two have proven track record of building reliability.
No one is going to look at GM, Ford or Chrysler.
All three have a LONG track record of poor engineering of new technology.
Someday when technology matures. Not now. You can’t mandate technology. The goal is probably to get people off the road and stay 15 minutes from home.
If this won’t play because you don’t have twitter, I advise you to find someone that does so you can watch it.

Ford is an ESG car manufacturer.
Ford made a big mistake dropping cars that are affordable. Nit many folks can pay 60-100k for a truck. I have o idea how the worker guys afford to buy a work truck.
Of all the EV makers, only Tesla paid back their loan. All the rest are like pigs in a trough. That is why BeijingBiden did not have Tesla at latest trough frenzy.
EV is junk tech. But, companies will build them if someone is fool enough to buy. The difference is that Tesla sells enough to make profit. The others are parasites on Fed gov’mt — your taxpayer dollars.
Wanna ID the ones giving BBiden kickbacks?
“Electric vehicles are huge money-losers”
Not if they’re the only game in town.

Ford, which used to be a major client of mine, has gone bonkers. Not only the EV digression, but the switch to small displacement turbocharged OHC engines in their trucks. Those things have short fuses, and as they start to need major (and expensive) repairs while GM’s good old pushrod V-8s continue motoring down the road, Ford’s domination of the pickup market is going to crumble. I’ve been pretty much a Ford guy all my life, but much as I hate GM, (another client, long story) I would buy a Chevy today if I were in the market for a truck.

Electric vehicles will be huge money-losers for the owners.
Without subsidy they are losers for everyone. 6
I drove an old ford flatbed and was able to rearrange the letters on the front of the hood to spell DORF. Dumb Old Rejects Failing!
