I think Ford saves money the more they don't make.

I don't know if our s550's are going to be as collectible as the Mustangs from the 60's and 70s are today but. Where are the mach-e cars going to be even in 10 years time when there batteries are dead and can't get a replacement.

It would be incredibly bad batteries to actually be dead. They would just be below 80pct of their design capacity.

If the Volt didn't sink Chevy, the Mach E won't sink Ford. There's too much federal money in those programs for it to hit the bottom line too hard.

Walked out of the store and what do I see?? The nerve, the audacity, the unmitigated gall of this Mach-E owner to feel he/she was worthy enough to park next to aREAL Mustang! What's the world coming to?? 🤣

I've been hearing about 10 year old Tesla's that have dead batteries and they don't have replacement batteries for them. From what I read 10 years is what is expected.

Given how much Ford spent making it, it's pretty bad if it fails. Could sink the company lol
Ford's already tanking, they lost millions investing in EV and it isn't paying out. Not to mention Ford dealers stuck with tons of F150s sitting on lots they can't sell because they genuinely expect people to pay $70k for a specc'd out XLT for f's sake. It's an absolute joke.

and they will continue to loose billions for the next SEVEN years! And they thought they could strong arm the dealers into putting their eggs into one of the EV or ICE baskets? Hubris has no peer compared to the rank insanity that occupies Ford HQ.
