It is so obvious that EVs are a loser, that even the shoe-shine man can see it. Sort of like housing prices in 2007 before the mortgage market collapsed. At that time I was trying to figure out the safe way to make money off the OBVIOUSLY impending disaster.
Well, the shoe-shine man is a rarity these days. But someone is going to make money off the demise of the EV and green-energy nonsense. Maybe it will be some kind of new Cash-for-Clunkers scam/scheme; maybe it will be a new SuperFund to recycle all the used-up carcasses.
Just figure on it being really costly to the taxpayers. And if you can get the inside track from the legislation coming down in DC you could “get in on the ground floor”.
(I wish I was kidding about this.)
Too late for Ford for me. I’ll never buy another after 40 years.
Panther? Never heard of it.
“The reality is that the sedan’s you note do not sell and are thus costly rather than profitable.”
Sounds like the secret is to ignore EVs completely then. This is easy, for now.
Those people have all been dead for decades.
I never heard of it either. Looked it up. It’s a Canadian Crown Vic.
You do know that Ford spelled backwards stands for Drive Return On Foot, or one I just thought of, Drive Return On Fire.
I’ve literally driven a million and a half miles in f250 and f350 4x4s since 1979
Only issues were driver occasional abuse by other employees
To be fair, my husband’s regular gas-guzzling Ranger cost the Ford Motor Company several thousand dollars.
That’s because something in the transmission blew and everything under the hood had to be replaced. This happened after he had driven it less than 100 miles. Ford headquarters wanted the entire blown transmission and engine sent back for analysis. The local dealer lent him a Mustang to use for the two months it took to fix the truck.
The new engine and transmission have several thousand miles on them now. Whatever the issue that caused the explosion, it seems to have been a one-time deal.
That makes sense now thanks.
Internal combustion driven Fords are fine, it’s the EV’s of all makes that are suspect.
Those EV trucks are crap, at any price
I wonder if the somewhat outrageous prices on most EVs were planned so that the poor-but-honest individual would not be able to buy something that would likely only bring him/her to grief sooner or later. I can’t afford one, but then I sure don’t want one anyway, although I will admit it would fill my purposes 99% of the time as transportation. BY the time I had a charging port(not sure there are any public ones here) and bought the cheapest EV available, I still could not afford it. I like heat & A/C at appropriate times also & my aged used car provides both at reasonable cost.
In the case of an EV, it could be spelled DORD.
That was an alternate description for First-on-Race-Day.
Does its “trans”mission have a reverse gear - to back into messy terrain?
Effed-over rebuilt Dodge
THERE’S a new one!
