Losses… yeah. By chucking a lot of costs into a year losses can be as high as you want.

No shit? They essentially dont have any EV offerings that arent luxury priced.

They need an EV Taurus or Focus, not a fucking SUV or pickup truck.

They don’t even sell ICE or Hybrid Taurus or Focus models in the US. They want to sell trucks and SUVs only.

I don’t want a swollen monstrosity that’s also an EV

I really feel like Ford Maverick EV and PHEV options would do great.

I just don’t understand how they have lower towing capacity than a minivan. I have a very small travel trailer, and they can’t even tow that.

I really want to want one, but it just doesn’t work for me.

Minivans are just trucks with a different body. Ford rangers are sedans with a truck bed. That’s why.

It’s what happens when most employers don’t pay more as “inflation” prices stay ever higher than the pay vs cost of living will allow for other kinds of purchases

Still wondering how apartment dwellers are meant to buy (more specifically: charge) EVs.

We have a housing crisis and a push for EVs everywhere at the same time. And yet no major investment in infrastructure – nor anything major to alleviate the housing crisis, either.

More curbside chargers on utility poles would be cool.

I have friends who charge at work, the grocery store, or just go to a Supercharger once every few weeks. Some people find ways.
