“The Mach E has been a relative success for Ford”..what are you talking about? The Mach E has been a multi billion dollar disaster for Ford. How many months or years supply of that crap bucket are there? What about depreciation it’s horrible. Wow what an odd comment.
Environmentalists will never mention how much Diesel gas is required to extract the lithium, or how much environmental damage the leech ponds do. They'll never talk about how toxic the smoke is from an EV fire. EVs are great for people who want them. I believe they should exist as one of many available options. The car buying public has spoken loud and clear and rendered their verdict on these cars. Transportation is not a one size fits all solution. What works for someone in the city doesn't work for someone in the country. Charging infrastructure is not ready for prime time.
@@outkast40 Diesel is used in everything. Diesel ships transport the goods, diesel trains and trucks deliver them. Everything uses diesel in some form or fashion, even some new gee-whiz EV battery. And here's a talking point for you: I don't want one of the g*dd*m things, I don't care if it runs on a single D cell and rainbows come out the back end..
You bring up the cell phone and it reminds me on something rarely talked about and that is how all the new vehicles are storing and almost openly sharing all the information you do with your car. If you link your phone, that information is also shared. Just about everything you do in your car is data collected and used/sold, open for law enforcement to examine, all without so much as a notice or warrant. True story. Your information with your vehicle is pretty wide open and the judicial system made sure of it. While it won't affect most of us, it is pretty creepy. Duck duck go it... I'm also leery of google, but we are stuck with electronics having access to our activities. I do love your videos, I think you are spot on, but there is more to be discussed. Thanks for all your information.
EV just not a option for most people. Here in Wisconsin not many plug in station. What will we do with old batteries ? Our countries not ready for EV at this time.
Batteries for battery operated cars last average around 5-7 years. The cost will be way more to replace than the vehicle. The Ford Lightning is the successor the the Edsel. I call them Edsel pickups.
If you buy an internal combustion vehicle take good care of it and do the maintenance It could last over 200,000 miles An electric vehicle only has 100,000 mile warranty You have to spend 20 or $30,000 if the battery goes bad I'd rather drive an internal combustion engine vehicle Due the excessive weight of the battery how many times do you have to replace those expensive tires in 100,000 miles What if a family member suddenly gets sick and they must go to the hospital But the battery in your home charger hasn't charged your car What do you do then What if you're a single woman has to charge her vehicle but i'ts not in a safe area The Young female is all alone She has to stay there and wait a long time until she the car's battery is charged up enough to leave
Key Points. A report says Ford is losing more than $100,000 on each EV. Ford is reducing spending on EV plans by $12 billion. Ford is estimated to lose $5.5 billion from its Model e division in 2024
In British Columbia, the government stopped giving Five grand incentives. Of course the dealers are whining. They would have just raised the price and extra five. How many dealers in BC charged way over MSRP and made lots of cash during the last few years. I was at a Chrysler dealer today and the lot is quite full of all their products. Can't believe they brought in about ten FIAT 500s. They whine as much as the real estate industry does. OK not quite that much.
Those people that want an EV, have already bought one. I cannot fathom paying the outrageous prices for an EV when the facts make “normal” people wary of these things. They are much worse for the environment, despite what the Greens say. Range anxiety is a no go for me. I would never let my car determine where I need to go, when I need to go.
EV’e don’t save energy, they only change where the energy is produced… so people can say they are green, the power plants still have to produce that energy. And some is lost in transmitting the power to the charging point, needing to a loss right there, before any charging has occured
Actually, in the real actual world, new EV sales are up 11% while ICE sales are slightly down in the US. EV sales are up to 8% of the market from 7%. At this rate of growth, EV sales will be on double digits by End of year 2024. The EVs you trot out are old and below average models that have been replaced by better newer models,especially by other brands. While old men whine and cry about EVs China is busy kicking everyone’s behind and producing new EVs every month. North America is going to reap what it sows. The future is EVs, and China is busy being busy in this technology. Old men crying about V8’s and how they break down now all the time are only going to get angrier and angrier as EVs grow and grow.
Thanks for that comment, much appreciated. Do you feel eliminating choice is the best way for the future? From most consumers I speak to, it’s the idea of being forced is the bigger issue than the tech itself
Wow! Tesla Cybertruck became the best selling of any over $100k vehicle in the US so far in 2024. Krazy amazing 😍 Did you hear that Cybertruck haters. 😂
The Porsche Cayenne base looks like an attractive SUV but it still comes down to affordability and the 14 iPhone I was looking at just the other day and in the states they come down on the suggested retail price so I’ll wait and look at the fifteen in October when they come out.
For me, I never considered Elec Only!..Far to limited and I honor to sleep at night!.... So, For me It has always been about choices i.e. elec or Gas/ICE..... a couple of years ago I was gett'n out of my cedes and a Genesis...started LQQK'n around for a Daily Driver......Versatility was key as was RELIABILITY.... i.e. LEXUS ( the only TRUE Luxury) I went with a Hybrid...& IMO for a "Daily" was truly the best decision I ever made.
There are always two sides to a coin. You are only presenting the one side. Traditional manufacturers are seeing falling sales because they produce non compelling overpriced vehicles. TESLA sales are still up but at a slower pace.
I don’t know why anyone would buy an ev from legacy auto. However Tesla sales were down slightly just not nearly as much as ice sales. Tough times, loans cost is high for all. But teslas catch fire at a rate 1/10 as often as ice vehicles, they are safer, sportier and you are likely to save over 20,000$ on fuel savings over the life of the vehicle. Go to any dealer and see that the lots are full, legacy auto depends on government money ( your money) to continue failing. I have put over 50,000 miles on mine in the two years I have owned it I don’t have any problems with charging. Why this site feels the need to refer to Tesla and tell lies shows how the paradigm has shifted to ev’s.
Thanks for sharing and I am not hating the vehicles and believe they provide certain benefits. The story line of environmental protectionism is Ludacris but from an ownership perspective, they offer an experience that nothing else does. Choice is good. Rule with iron fist and lies is not.
@@markholubetzand that's a huge issue with me.. the whole narrative of "saving the environment" and other, obvious drivel is maddening. Like people saying that the President is in control. All an illusion that we're supposed to, aimlessly believe, like children
Only Rich CZcams content creators are buying exotic or high end EVs, showing off, look guys what I bought, off the viewers backs. Do they say thank you to viewers for their rich lifestyle, referring to channels like MKHB, Luke Miami, Snazzy Labs etc. Showing off what you made off on our backs. The viewers who most us can't afford to buy them, rubbing it in our noses. Bad idea! Good way to lose Subs. Not referring to this channel. 😂 Good auto news source.
Your comments are not related to numbers. You seem to relish being the super prophet of doom. Thing is vehicles are totally overpriced, and over powered and over sized.

Ford can even build good ICE vehicles these days.
Hence the word relative success. Relative to polestar, rivian etc etc
@@jeffhedrich3551meaningless drivel. Well done.
@@wizzyno1566 I’ll just let you think about how little you understood about my comment.
Used EVs are as popular as used hot dogs for just about the same reason.

The problem is company record profits not paying employee a fair wage. So we can’t afford most vehicles. Our wages are based off of 2016 prices!
Cheers

I don't understand why the ICE Cayman/Boxster is being discontinued. The vote is in, we don't want EV.
It feels like they are sampling the market but not going all in as the 911 is still primarily ICE
Batteries for battery operated cars last average around 5-7 years. The cost will be way more to replace than the vehicle. The Ford Lightning is the successor the the Edsel. I call them Edsel pickups.
EV sales had a Huge uptick in Q2.

Where are you getting your news?
I like and WOW amazing TY so much ,,Keep up the great work

Well said. Image the resale value. Their basically worth noting on the resale market. They should be a fraction of the price of any ICE vehicle

the state of new jersey put a registration surcharge on ALL EVs starting the first of july 24.....250 bucks a year
As they cannot charge road tax enveloped by the gas pump
All cars sales are going down
Car sales are down about 3 million car sales a year since a couple years ago

EVs are worse in every way. This the reason why 50% of EV buyers go back to ice.
That's not a good thing considering so many bad engines being produced by almost every company these days.

So Funny reading all these EV hater's comments 😂

Anyone who buys an EV has more dollars 💸 than sense

Monsoon but merely the truth as many conventional ICE manufacturers are struggling selling EVs. It is almost g uphill transition
