By June 2024 it will be interesting to learn how many 2022 and 2023 models are still unsold
The EV market is saturated. All the EV customers are buying Tesla, that’s it. No one else is able to (or wants to) buy an EV.
I recently had to get a new car. I went with an SUV - a gas-powered V8. EVs are interesting, but not practical or reliable enough for my preference. I’ll check back on EVs in another 3 or 4 years.
Only an idiot pays MORE for a poorer product…
There are idiots in this world, but not as many as Ford thought there were.
Of course Ford is. They see how much free money Brandon is throwing around. They want a new deal, if Joey expects Ford to stay in the EV game.
Here’s my assistant demonstrating an early model.
Funny how Neirin Gray Desai uses a phrase with an ambiguous definition—“eco cars”—and expects readers to know what is meant by that, or more like tries to deceive readers.
Somebody must’ve grown a pair at a recent board meeting and outlined the precarious position in which they’d be placing the corporation by signing on to the fed’s pipe dream.
Ford decided not to commit suicide.
This must be why the federal government wants to FORCE US to buy an electric vehicle.
I was in a discussion with a Freeper who obviously loves Tesla. His take was that Tesla would solve the fire problem and implied Tesla, if no other manufacture, would survive. What he didn’t realize is that Tesla exists on a continuum that includes mining, shipment, refining, more shipment, battery manufacture, more shipment, installation, life cycle use and then disposal. If Tesla was the only manufacturer left, then none of the rest of the mining production environment would exist. It takes a huge amount of demand to make the cost of doing all the other steps economical. If it’s just Tesla and BYD (the Chinese firecracker maker) then there isn’t enough demand to operate at the required scale.
A “challenging market”….. CEO speak for nobody wants these pieces of crap. CEO’s who so misjudged and wasted corporation funds and energy on EV’s should be fired.
The only people who buy EV’s are the same people who believe men can trans into women, that a prostitute who claims to be “a sexually experienced virgin” is an honest person, and that Joe Biden got more votes than Trump.
Wait until the used car lots fill up with them, because who will take a chance on a USED one if they don’t trust the NEW ones!
I already own eco vehicles. I have cars that get 30+ and 40+ mpg. Two are EcoDiesels and once just little ol’ Corolla.
Hell I am not willing to pay todays Union premium for a domestic truck. let alone a EV premium on top of that.
Good. I just bought a great little (gasoline powered) Maverick and I love it. I got the definite feeling from the dealer that people weren’t interested in these EV things or even that much in dual fuel vehicles. The price was part of it, repair price was part of it, and unrealiability was the other part of it.
I think many people are wondering where the power will come from once the left has shut down all generating plants in the US...but who cares, it’s all rainbow unicorns.
Smarties earn8ng their big salaries....ought to be replaced with UAW skilled trades pipefitters. Profits would abound!
Boards, CEO’s, CFO’s and anybody else responsible for caving to the political climate pimps should be shit-canned. All big three companies. Maybe for once we havs something to thank the unions for?
