So ford will only lose 5.9 billion on them next year?
Maybe they can make it up on volume
Yeah, those things are just flying off the lots.
My wife’s vehicle is 16 years old, but it only has 65,000 miles on it. Bulletproof engine. One of the better ones ever produced. That said, I still wonder if we shouldn’t get a replacement with a newer ICE vehicle.
Banned from parking garages , banned from your garage , banned from parking on the street ,LOL
Better start building detached garages, like they did in the early days of gas cars.
Maybe yes while you still can.
I’d do an electrical vehicle to ride around town maybe. But I have to have an ICE vehicle around for distance runs.

I’m looking at a vehicle purchase, and am weighing ICE vs. hybrid. Also concerned about ability to get either if Dems maintain power.
Yes, it’s all true!
But the climate jockeys don’t care!!
If we just had a Federal law mandating that every Public Employee nationwide exclusively use EV’s for ALL Travel, the problems would be fixed after a few thousand sacrificed their lives and families to an EV.
Push will come to shove. Gonna be awesome.
20% of Americans will buy EVs. No problem. Which is good for Tesla. But it seems rest of us are going to refuse to buy an EV. In California, they’re going to have to shut down gas stations.
I’m leaning more towards a plug in hybrid, especially if you have rooftop solar.
My wife’s daily drive is less than 50 miles, so she can run on battery-only most of the time, and can easily be fully recharged each night for free with the solar credit from the utility.
Longer trips, she can use the gas, get great mileage and no range anxiety.
New cars have better safety features
My electric vehicle makes it all 18 holes before quitting. Can’t beat that!
According to The Wall Street Journal, the average insurance cost for a traditional vehicle is $193 a month.

Two cars cost me $785. per year, full coverage, $250 deductible here in fly over country..

That’s the cars, and what about the electro bikes? It looks like those things are becoming very popular, often with a theoretical range of 60 miles, which is pretty close to the longest distance a reasonably fit writer can push an ordinary bike. At between one and $2000 price apiece these bikes are likely to be very popular among college students who will then be looking to find places to store their bikes, along with the often combustible batteries. What are all of our woke colleges going to do when the kids come in wanting to store their new, explosive, toys in crowded dormitories? Also, as far as ordinary families are concerned, where are the kids spiffy new combustible bikes to be stored in their families’ houses?
