The HARD TRUTH about EVs

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 E-Transit: 3,927 (up 128%)
- Total: 28,242 (up 97%) and 4.3% share
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.

So for year have lost 2.8 billion. Not bad keep it up
Only a $3,000 markup on the reg F trucks sold

I'm surprised they left that much wire.
I believe its a few grand per cable and 10 minutes of work, curious how the right side cables werent cut as high as the left.
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.

I mean the recycle payout is over a grand, the cables can be as much as 12k to replace or more.
That's ok, I'm sure their tech support is already on top of it and it's likely in better shape now than it ever was before!
You mean the they couldn't just mount them on top of the giant islands of floating trash?
I’ll admit I’ve never recycled copper, but the news who would typically defend the junkies, reported the junk yards only pay @$20 for that much copper.

The last thing they want is the "word" getting out, current price is ~$3.47 per pound.
So you think that cable weighs 300 pounds?
After stripping all the insulation off?

Youre right, that cant be correct. Reaching back to find out who threw those numbers out and the context. The $1000 figure is what and made it back down the food chain, cant find the actual weight listed in the specs either. Digging into some documents now.
Ya man I’m betting $20 is closer.
It’s ****ing ridiculous that the city then pays 10k to replace it.
