Yep, Ford should have had battery cars on the road, even if they weren’t “hot stuff”, so they could be learning about building the nice stuff, by monitoring the low end stuff already shipping.

Now they are attempting to ship electric trucks and electric cars to compete at the Tesla highend, and in the end, it’s all basically junk.

If they don’t get the F150 electrified, and done correctly, Ford will die just like GM.

BTW, GM is dead, it just hasn’t quit emitting cars yet.

Though I do love me a C8 Corvette... I just doubt they will live long enough to ship many of them, unfortunately. And it should have been electric, no matter how much I may love the sound of a V8.

I love the sound of a V8 too. But other factors overrule that. My wife always tells me, the principal reason for a car is to get from point A to point B. I like getting there quickly; the sound is secondary. BTW, I've test driven Corvettes on Edmunds test tracks - not that attractive to me. Chevy lost me decades ago. GM is dead. Ford may survive - by building bicycles and fleet vehicles.
