America is (supposed to be) a Republic, NOT a democracy. Learn the difference, help end the lie. Fear a government that fears your guns.

My prediction: many will buy an electric vehicle, few will buy a second one. Hybrid vehicles make more sense. I don't understand why the auto makers aren't pushing the hybrids over the total electric ones.

Read the article. Went from Palo Alto (Bay Peninsula) to Vegas. Claimed 66 but the reality is I 5, I 40 (I think), hugely busy main arterials. And it was still a pain? In freaking Ecofornicalifornia? Try 90 or even US 2 and the mosquitoes will really do you in, Mister Fancy.

If he thinks that’s surprising, he’s going to be completely shocked when they realize what the actual free market demand is for an electric truck.

It's not Ford. It's the Gubberment! Ford and every other manufacturer has to meet a certain average mpg's of all their vehicles produced or simply get fined and eventually shut down.

"firsthand the issues our customers face. This is why we’re working w/ " Translation...okay, I know we are wrong but we are adding a patch to the situation and doubling down.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

My prediction: many will buy an electric vehicle, few will buy a second one. Hybrid vehicles make more sense. I don't understand why the auto makers aren't pushing the hybrids over the total electric ones. The EV thing is happening WAY ABOVE Ford... National Mandate Agreements to modify the power grid... Dominion here is putting up solar farms like a mofo... that is happening as a direct result of "Agreements", "Mandates", and "Memorandums" at the very very top tiers of .GOV funding. Nothing to do with climate change... 100% to do with generating wealth for the top 1/10 of the 1% in a new emerging market. Can't be stopped... BUT fight it. I dropped a cock block just yesterday "No Smart Meter"... it will get tied up in the courts for years. GOOD!
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Ford, like many other manufacturers have been strong-armed into the EV production.
Just as they have with emissions and al the BS that goes with that.
The govt has mandated very, very unrealistic standards that the technology has not caught up with.
if you look to place blame for these clusterfuggs that keep occurring in EV's, diesel pickups and tractors/equipment, then look no further than Govt.
