The HARD TRUTH about EVs

[Klaus]

This German tesla thing is getting even more hilarious.

Makes you realize that we will never really have another successful national infrastructure effort ever again because the people in charge don't know the first thing about building anything and they're more concerned with figuring out how they can enrich themselves and their friends and family.

I think it’s a lot worse than just infrastructure.

It’s the entire GOV, including DOD.

Part of me thinks we’re doomed to failure. It’s hard to bet against the US, but things are going very bad. Nobody is held accountable for anything. A complete failure can take place, and they just move on to the next thing like nothing happened.

I think we’re in a major societal shift here in the US.

Nobody to blame but ourselves I guess. We voted all these assholes in.

I thought Ford was dying on the vine?

"So far this year, Ford sold more than 28,000 all-electric vehicles in the U.S., almost 97% more than a year ago. That's about 4.3% of the brand's total volume.


Ford BEV sales year-to-date (YOY change):

• Ford Mustang Mach-E: 14,482 (up 107%)
• Ford F-150 Lightning: 9,833 (up 75%)
• Ford E-Transit: 3,927 (up 128%)
• Total: 28,242 (up 97%) and 4.3% share

For reference, in 2023, Ford sold more than 72,000 all-electric vehicles in the U.S., up 18% compared to 2022. This was about 3.8% of the brand's total volume."

That is 11 days of F series truck sales.

Does Ford even make profit on EV's?

LOL no

Ford Lost $100,000 On Every EV It Sold So Far This Year

Plus leaky diesel engines in Ford trucks spark an NHTSA investigation and Chinese EV maker Zeekr becomes a $6 billion company.

Ya, a few grand to replace them.

The junkies get like $20 for the copper at the scrap yard lol.

Enough for two fentanyl pills so they can stand on the street doubled over at the waist.

If anyone knows a recovered fentanyl junky let me know, otherwise I’ll just maintain we should throw them in an incinerator.
