Harris said they can make it up on volume.

Good.
Companies that let themselves be pushed around by moroons in the government SHOULD take it in the shorts.

[eyeamok]

If we just outright BANNED all Public Employee’s from using anything other than EV for ALL TRAVEL to and from their respective work place, they could sell them.

Stop subsidies and watch the demand curve..

It's kind of hard to fight facsim.

The Government colluded with investment banks, institutional share holders, and private equity firms to force their geopolitical agenda via "stakeholder capitalism".

Em. I believe they’re subsidized by us who end up taking it in the proverbial shorts.

Stop subsidies and watch the demand crash................

EV’s vs. Hybrids is like straight vs. Bi. Bi doubles your chances on a Saturday night.

Unfortunately, America’s largest companies are now very similar to Russia’s and China’s - they are national political tools, who will be forced (and rewarded) to do business in a way that matches the political and social-engineering goals of the centralized state.

Yep.

If you play footsie with the Government, any government, you eventually get kicked in the knee...............

I bet she thinks the volume knob goes up to 11.

When the democrat dream comes true and government spending exceeds personal spending, then the entire economy will be doing great, not just the public sector.

From the article: Ford loses $44,000 on every EV it sells...

It can't be called a sale when, in effect, it's been given away for a loss. That's called price dumping and it's illegal.

[eastexsteve]

..the automaker lost about $44,000 on every electric vehicle it sold.

While Tesla actually makes a profit on theirs.

[Red Badger]

TESLA IS NON-UNION, SO THAT COULD BE THE REASON............

Hybrid is a better choice anyway.

Though I chose internal combustion, the most problem-free of the three.

From the article, a summary:

pivoting
recalibrating
pulling back
decelerating
