EVs are such a great product it takes the force of government to make you buy them. No thanks.

Just 9 months after this White House ‘fact sheet’, Ford lays off 1,000 employees because of EV manufacturing losses amounting to $34,000 on each Ford EV sold.

and it took 9 months???

i mean it’s arithmetic...

Meanwhile, from a few days ago...

https://www.supplychainbrain.com/articles/37557-ford-battery-plants-on-track-to-receive-92bn-federal-loan

That’s $9.2 billion with a capital B.

It’s good to have low friends in high places.

“Ford has said it expects to lose $3 billion in operating profit on its EVs business this year.”.

Ford spent over $4 billion in 1980’s dollars to develop their modular engine concept leading to a very successful line of engines such as the 5.0 in the current Mustang.

I believe the Rivian truck weighs over 8000 pounds. Another issue is brake dust generated by EV’s. I know they have regenerative braking but you still have to stop the beast.

Or we will make a worse product out of cheaper parts of the product that we actually sell to pay for the unwanted product that we have to sell

Making parking garages collapse.

It's amazing an EV battery fire in a condo parking garage hasn't collapsed a condo tower yet. In Asia, most EV batteries sold are designed and made in China by unscrupulous communists that will tell any lie, and cut any corner they can get away with. Asian cities are full of high/thin condo towers, with a parking garage sometimes occupying the first 10 floors. The only thing currently avoiding an EV tragedy is the lack of charging stations, and the lack of popularity of the expensive and heavy EVs.

no worries

the EVs are a ruse

the goal is to ban gas cars

nothing more

they know EVs suck and will not replace gas cars

the goal is to destroy private transportation

for the masses it will be shut up and get on the bus

“This is going to be an epic fail.”

As are windmills and solar cells for utility-scale power generation.

Must have been using the new math.

While we’re on the topic of people being nuts...

...have you folks been blessed enough to see a Leftist
explain how math is racist, and 2+2=5 may be correct.

With all that extra weight, when a EV hits you in an accident, your chances of living through it are slim

Ford gets the 9.2 billion if they have transgender in every commercial.

Sorry but the purpose of the commies is to eliminate inexpensive personal transportation. Also anything personal. Property, rights, etc.
