Wow! Has technology become so advanced that we are at risk from our own parked cars??!

Sometimes I sure do miss my ‘56 Plymouth. (It never went psycho on me)

Hmm.

What’s an “electric battery”?

From “ Sorry teacher, the dog ate my homework” to “I can’t come to work today, my Ford spontaneously combusted.”

There are many videos on Utube that address the seemingly poor quality of Ford’s products in the last few years. Some also address the astronomical sticker prices many Ford products carry.

The general takeaway is that a combination of Ford’s decision to eliminate most of their passenger car lineup and their commitment to EVs has overall sales hurting. So being unable to make money on volume they are raising prices overall. The proof is found on the sticker of a basic F-150 pickup. An entry level truck has a sticker price of about $60,000. The fancy trucks approach $100,000. Compare that to my 2021 Chevy Colorado which had a sticker of $28,955.

the electric batteries could short circuit and catch fire, even when the engine is off.

Yeah, the battery makes ICE vehicles dangerous. The only safe thing to do is create a vehicle that has way way more batteries.

Wow...a short circuit, even when a switch is closed. What are the odds?
