[Prange]

They may have actually listened to their customer-base:

Hybrids should have been the game plan all along.

 

[Speedy!]

Says it all right here

"While consumers are purchasing electric vehicles, the market pricing is still dynamic and Ford is losing billions on the pivot from old internal combustion"

Next will be another tax payer bailout.

Anyone who wanted an E.V. has one now... that’s it. The remaining inventory will be yard art.

 

[Speedy!]

That's been my thinking as well. There were people who wanted them, and I think it's a smaller number than the manufacturers thought, and now they're seeing the results of their decisions.

 

[Boris]

They are hoping Millennials will carry the EV torch.

As one myself, I'm not finding many my age that really care. And if they did, they don't want to spend the money on one.

Look at all the people walking away from the Lightning because it went from being a 40k truck to a 60k truck.

Many millennials don't even want to drive or even get a drivers license

My kids cannot afford this and I don t want 1

Payments are now bi-weekly not monthly they can bite me !!

 

[Speedy!]

Wow - had to show a bi-weekly payment to make it look like it wasn't a mortgage payment.

That's the other thing, Tim said they were targeting millennials for these EVs but like stated above I don't think many can afford them.

Ford F150 pickup

I was just told Ford is going to back off the F150 EV
To what extent I was not told
Everyone is bitching except the tree huggers

Sales are shit
Profits are shit
&
Now to add icing to the EV cake the unions demands for financial gains & job security are creating more issues

The Government handouts must be slowing down

Who would have seen this coming ???

Dumb asses

 

[Boris]

Probably because the price went from 40k to over 60k in just over a year.
Gubmint put $7500 out there to buy them and Ford jacked up the prices on that. (probably coincidence but its still funny to me).

Then you have to actually deal with a Ford dealership, who believe it or not, are far worse than Dodge dealers.

Huge markups when the factory already put an extra 20k on the sticker.
Yeah, nobody is lining up for that nonsense. Except the save the whales crowd.

The dealer sticker I posted above Aug 1

The truck is still sitting on the lot with 2 others
It took a few purchasing idiots to spread the word how useless a truck is with a trailer & 100 mile range

100 mile range - must have improved, a lot!!!

I hope not, the cars could be recycled into new ICE cars and trucks. Also, the big batteries could be recycled into AAA, AA, C and D cell batteries, go green!
