But they made up for it in volume.
Do you feel good about those subsidies you paid to bribe people into buying these boondoggles?
Cars are already expensive because that’s how government wants it.
EV’s are just a natural progression of government controls on people -climate fear-monger, higher prices, computer tracking, mass kill-switches, etc...

I just drove by a Ford dealership tonight. About every fourth space in the lot had a vehicle in it.

Ford would have lost a lot less per copy if they had built a commuter sedan instead of a pickup. Who came up with that insanity?
Here is a clue. Bring back the Panther. Like driving your living room at 75 mph and 25 mpg. I could not find a tin box that did that well. Simple, reliable, refined and affordable at one time. It had what you needed to get from A to B comfortably and safely. The only bad thing on it was the EATC and blend door motor. Improve that and bring it back for a really decent price.
BTW, it would run like a striped arse ape when you wanted it to.
It’s what saddle mufacturers were saying when the early gas powered internal combustion autos were introduced.
They take the most popular, bestselling pickup truck and decide to make it electric. That is called pissing in the soup. Chairman and President both need to be fired.
Just wait intil this diaper wearing pr### signs over our sovereignty in May to the UN and the WHO and climate change will now be an international law controlled by them
Stupid is supposed to hurt.
I just read on another site that Ford is doubling down with one of their Canadian plants. They are killing the ICE Escape model in April, retooling to build up to three different EV models starting in 2025.
Poor hires in the executive suite always cost the shareholders money. That being said, one has to wonder why the Board hasn’t acted to correct the mistake.
What to do when it’s cold, snowing, you’re in the middle of nowhere in your out of power EV and you can’t charge up your dead phone?
True, but you better believe that they also have a real car in every garage for when they really need reliable transportation.
It is wonderful when these people die from such stupidity. Forcing their woke idealogy which is The New Green Deal/Agenda XX is a small price for the rest of us. If it would happen to the entire bunch at Davos or any of the WEF-like meetings, the world would be a better place immediately.
The war of the government upon the people worldwide should result in their removal and them being stripped of their wealth. There can be no rule of law with them maintaining their stolen wealth and lifestyles.
It is definitely well past time that the impression of ‘green and better for the environment’ was changed to what it really is...
1. A dangerous fire hazard and no EV should ever be parked in a garage... especially one attached to a house.
2. A very high risk of massive water pollution with toxic metals during the mining process. Lithium is typically mined through a process called brine mining which involves extracting lithium from underground saltwater reserves. This involves pumping saltwater to the surface, where it is evaporated to remove the lithium and other minerals. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/lithium-batteries-environment-impact
3. Here’s another environmental impact that is currently flying under the radar and that is toxic tire dust which is pegged as being 2,000 times as bad for the environment as ICE exhaust. Since EVs are much heavier than ICE vehicles, the amount of toxic dust that is released is proportionally higher. It’s globally already at 6 million tons of particulate a year https://e360.yale.edu/features/tire-pollution-toxic-chemicals
Well up on the reasons to not purchase an EV is because they are simply horrible for the environment. The above three are just a start and there are likely even worse reasons..... well, the cost of the replacement battery is another.
