“We believe man-made CO2 is contributing to climate change and we’ve got our part to play,” he said.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

[o-n-money]

SELL!

[snarkytart]

Dumb. What a way to lose a ton of money.

Only 35% of Electric Cars run on Coal Power, so they are actually Coal Cars.

I do believe I’m seeing a huge historical screw-up right before my very eyes.

[DoughtyOne]

That would be better termed, ...in the head.

“We believe man-made CO2 is contributing to climate change and we’ve got our part to play,”

You're stupid.

This idiot probably stuck his mouth on an exhaust pipe before pouting this garbage.

[HLPhat]

I wonder how long dino-geezers like me will be able to buy refined petroleum products to propel our vintage autos...

“We believe man-made CO2 is contributing to climate change and we’ve got our part to play,”

Code for: “There’s government cheese in the form of generous subsidies for companies exploring and developing electric cars in the name of reducing CO2 - without having to worry about those pesky profits”.

Tesla is prime example.

[Gay State Conservative]

My diesel has a 14 gallon tank and gets an honest 53mpg on the highway...so a highway range of over 700 miles.When required it can be "recharged" in about 4 minutes at any one of 35,000 "recharging" stations coast-to-coast.

Why would I *possibly* consider an electric vehicle?????

translation: The new Ford business strategy is to rely on our overlords in Washington to kneecap our fuel efficient gasoline powered Japanese and Korean competitors.

Here is the money quote:

“With...regulators around the globe cracking down on the internal combustion engine”

Ford is banking on a little ‘nudge’ from government, for this transformation to happen.

I’ve been trolling Tesla boards lately, and a lot of millenials are outright offended by the gasoline engine...they have no sense of history, and can’t comprehend how tough life would be without fossil fuels. Ford has to try and sell cars to these lunatics.

[butlerweave]

Ford is betting the President , House and Senate will be run by Democrats and will order everyone to buy Electric Cars

[plain talk]

“global demand is expected to rise as governments phase out gasoline and diesel engines and batteries reach price parity with traditional powertrains”

None of that is close to happening.

Never invest based on politics

[Mariner]

This is prima facie proof that government regulators worldwide have notified car companies they WILL phase out gasoline and diesel.

The days of the cross-country road trip are numbered.

[Sacajaweau]

My grandson is in college and wants to do design for Tesla. Told him it may be gone by the time he finishes college.

What? He said...we're not going to all electric cars??

[rigelkentaurus]

I was always under the impression that technological advances gained market share in a free economy because said technology offered advantages.

Cost - electric higher
Range - electric less
Re-fuel time - electric much more

I still cannot identify an advantage over a gasoline or diesel powered vehicle.

[Red Badger]

There must be some new battery technology they are banking on, that we don’t know about yet.......................
