Ford Tried To Be Tesla, And It Cost The Company Billions

[Dunedain Ranger]

EV's are not bad, they are just not practical. Nor do they do crap to benefit the environment. End of argument. Now, plug in hybrid EV's....maybe. But battery manufacturing still takes a toll on the environment.

And that's not even taking in the battery disposal factor as well...

I'm confused...who is this addressed to, James?

Umm, JJG, like it says in the post.

This is just patently false misinformation!!

Then you are misinformed.

 

[JJG]

You should buy a bunch of EVs now before the price goes down and let us know all about it.
?

That sounds like something you and your uneducated ilk would do.

And you just like to spread propaganda.

Cmon, I'm sure you can do better at insulting me and my ilk.
I may not have one of those fancy college brainwashings but I am able to think freely.

You do realize this is easily found online. The mining for lithium is in NO WAY good for the environment and does cause more harm than good. They also put workers in danger in certain countries.

I made sure these were all reputable sources and not something from any place you could say was a conspiracy.

Now that's funny right there! Truth is not propaganda. I know you won't read this in it's entirety, you will dismiss the first valid point and stop. And come back here and tell me it's all propaganda. I know your kind. I am not dismissing EV's, they are really cool technology. But they are not doing crap to save the planet. BTW, CO2 is not a pollutant.

More like going woke to please the few.

Is Ford going about this in not the smartest way? Yea I’ll agree with that.

Is looking to go electric, which is what 90+% of new vehicles will be before you know it “woke” somehow? That’s humorous, and sad if you really think that (way).

Don't encourage me, I'll end up like the other smart asses that were here and our moderator will feel bad.
I just like entertainment and friendly banter. ?

And I know your kind as well. Its been known since the late 1800’s that CO2 causes warming. But your kind is only worried about exactly that, your time. And once thats over with, screw the rest of us. Because its ALL one big conspiracy, like globes, the moon landing, and basic science.

Why is this thread still going? Devolved into a bunch of political nonsense. Can we go back to talking about Ford Rangers, or making fun of Tacomas? I come here to read truck shit and avoid the political Facebook crap, not have more of it constantly shuttled to the top of this forum.
