"...repeated wide-open pedal events..."

The #1 reason to buy anything named "Mustang". I test drove a Mach-e. From the outside it looks like a soccer-mom mobile and shouldn't be named "Mustang" (it's a crossover style car). But the acceleration and handling will grow hair on your chest.

We had a power outage yesterday so I hung out in my hot rod for about 3 or 4 hours with my dog and the AC was wonderful

Screw that battery crap

“...which could result in an immediate loss of propulsion power, increasing the risk of a crash.”

Just curious if EV’s are being unfairly targeted here. Are ICE vehicles held to the same standard? If one of a hundred things cause you to lose propulsion is that a recall event?

I hear repair bills on them when in fender benders are soooo cheap. And the insurance companies just love to pay for them.

Ford will never make money on the huge capital investment they made on EVs. They are losing money and will go broke. Eventually the government will take over Ford. Only fools are voluntarily buying EVs.

"...high voltage battery main contactors may overheat from...repeated wide-open pedal events"

"Nice high-acceleration EV you got there! Can you give me a demo ride?"

"Er, no. I'm only allowed a couple of 'wide-open pedal events' per day."

In cities and the surburbs I can see EVs being useful. Wife and I lived in downtown ATL before we retired. If we were back there, and if we had two Teslas for daily use, and a nice ICE SUV for long distance trips, it would be great. But even on two pretty decent salaries, no way in Hades could we afford two EVs and a nice ICE highway cruiser.
