Ford Motor Company (F)

I agree, and it avoids weather related battery problems and immediate need for massive amounts of charging stations (which could be much more attractive if supervised robotic battery swaps on drive-up racks are used).

I was kind of hard on my F posts . . . though just presenting alternative view of the threat F faces as it basically gambles on EVs future.
If for some reason, EVs are not accepted by USA public I suppose F will suffer a rather large new debt burden to carry?

Will the present Administration and Congress back new EV subsidies tax-wise and inclusion of charging network in Infrastructure spending?
Wonder if F would be dynamic enough to go for a 3-D printed EV auto body that included spray-on solar-cells and Ultra-Caps recharging and power storage . . . its really seems its going to take some super-tech steps to get the public to believe in and want up-scaling their vanity consumerism. Henry Ford back in the very old days of his original car designs . . . demoed a Hemp-type auto body he beat on with a sledge hammer and it just bounced off. <---ever have someone tell you what it cost to replace a composite bumper unit on a modern vehicle?
Its hard to park new cars as the bumper-hoods do not have any view reference hood ornament guide to go bye. One could go el-cheapo and put a dark dot stick-on the windshield in place of the old hood ornament?

Best hope for F customers is to check if their extra optional add-on warranty covers such.


Biggest problem for F in China . . . why do Chinese consumers want Fords when the Tariff Wars are on . . . and Chinese are patriotic?
How, also can F compete with Chinese vehicles in Asian markets, especially when China can undercut F prices to gain market share?
