HUGE NEWS! Ford CEO Shocking WARNING To All EV Makers!
You Tube ^ | 11/8/23 | ChargeDrive

Posted on 11/08/2023 3:38:20 PM PST by Impala64ssa

Are EV's a scam?! Ford CEO just abandoned electric cars, leaving the entire auto industry SHOCKED and CONFUSED! Ford is losing nearly 36,000 dollars on each EV they built, and could now close their doors forever! Why?
Because customers are REJECTING Ford’s EVs! With nearly 92,000 EVs sitting unsold on dealer lots, scammy dealer markups to fool the middle class, and 35,000 vehicle recalls just a couple of weeks ago, Ford is in a huge crisis!

Don't know if it will finish off Ford, they said the same thing about the Edsel disaster in 1959, but it will have a negative impact to say the least.

More and more the evidence shows that EVs are, at best too cost inefficient and won't have any positive effect on the environment, if not a straight up scam.

And it's peculiar how some Ford engineers are downplaying potentially dangerous problems with the braking systems on their F 150EV. Have they learned anything from the Pinto exploding gas tank fiasco?

And what's with the Mustard Mach E? Sounds like "mocky" an old Jewish slur. As if it harkens back to Henry Ford's anti Semitic proclivities. Their Marketing Dept should've thought this through a little better. Probably some DEI hire ignorant of history came up with this bright idea. Speaking of which how ironic that this was their slogan in the late 60's-70's

Judging by our government and regulatory agencies, it won’t be long at all! Isn’t that part of their plan?

My brother in law was let go at Ford last year. He was an engineer with a ICE engine background.

I assume they jettisoned many engineers who didn’t have EV knowledge.

Typical idiot Auto business decisions.

“Ford...could now close their doors forever!”

That was the plan all along.

Ventura, Ca walk on the bicycle/beach walk. There was a 3-4 story parking lot with smoke coming out on the 2nd level. EV fire? No, fire dept. training session. Looks like they know what’s ahead.

I bought a Ford Fusion Hybrid in 2013 when the updated model first came out. I still drive the car today.

I was disappointed when Ford decided to drop the line, and then all four-door sedans. Then they went to all-electric trucks and SUVs.

So, now what?

Will Ford go back into the sedan business? Maybe they can restart the hybrid line, adding a plug-in hybrid that can get 40 miles to a charge?

This looks like BS. CEO has not made any statement that I can find outside of this video and nothing in other news or their websites about bailing on EV, not that I would mind that.

The government will bail out Ford and take over the management of marketing and production.

Your new 2024 Ford Mosckvich is on the assembly line!

Also note that he waited until day after Beshear safely re-elected.

Ford never accepted a government bailout year ago. GM and Chrysler did. They are indentured to that govt money and will have to follow the will of puddinghead.

Toyota has taken this position for years. Their battery - ICE vehicles seem like a very common sense next step
