Unfortunately only businesses get socialist tax cuts and also dont have to pay for the infrastructure they use to produce and transport their goods. So as someone else said, it has to come from somewhere. But don't worry it will trickle down they say. So wages should have also gone up because of...

I change my damper every spring, because the fall drops winter on me really hard. ?‍?️

BTW, oil producers actually get govt subsidies for diminishing resources, meaning they get money because the well will eventually go dry. So they get paid when their gamble goes bust. At least Tesla is getting money for investing in something that will actually evolve and not just be an empty...

Sorry bud, but automakers do not want to make engines & transmissions anymore, because they are not profitable! Too many parts to make vs an EV. Plus warranty costs, and parts support for a min of 10 years for each program. How many times have both the auto industry and oil companies been bailed...

Dude really? The technology is here and its evolving daily! The only ones trying to thwart it are those that want to hang onto the last drop of 50 year old antiquated technology. Why? Because they will be dead soon and dont really care what kind of legacy they leave behind for the generations...

Apparently, there are very few visionary's working at that company. If they saw a larger profit potential, or wanted to try and create one, they would be innovating similar to that of what the automakers are doing now. They too said similar things 20 years ago when they couldn't see the profit...

Were definitely not a leader when energy providers and their political enablers in various states, allow financial penalties for those that transition to alternatives. So certainly, we are not a leader by any means. Once the energy providers find better ways to make money other than to force via...

And those 30 years have been spent with 30 year old technology. Remember when they said increasing the MPG of vehicles from 10 to 30+ was totally impossible for a vehicle that was practical. I sure do, and had similar experts explaining away why it could never happen. But here we are, a Ranger...

Coal is an obsolete form of energy, it simply CANNOT compete with a pipe full of gas. And once gas is burned there is nothing to dispose of, unlike coal. Plus its much easer to poke a small hole in the ground rather than a big hole for a mine. That being said, look at what Musk did in Australia...

Sure it can, the only problem is storing and distributing the power wind & solar make. Musk is doing it in Australia right now. So, your statement is not fact just hyperbole. Similar to those that once thought you could only start a car by a cranking a handle.

Who uses those anymore? They have LED bulbs now, 9 watts puts out the light of a 60W incandescent. And even uses less than those 15 year old CFL’s.

One key point mentioned at the launch of the lightning was 40% LESS components in an EV. The fact is ICE’s are not profitable anymore for the automakers. They dont want to make or warranty engines & transmissions anymore, plain and simple. Look at our Rangers, only 1 engine choice. The next...

US mfgrs are all about CPU, which includes all aspects of the process, including machine down time. If the tooling costs more but runs longer due to better tool life, and runs faster and contributes to increased production volume, tool cost only makes up a very small percentage of the total...

Not surprising at all. I see the tier manufacturing facilities for Toyota, Nissan etc from the inside, because I sell them their tooling. Aisin, FPI, Kiriu and all others use the cheapest machines, most crude tooling solutions and worst manufacturing processes I have ever seen. Japanese...

I hope its similar to the quad motor, 750hp and over 1000 ft lbs of torque on the Rivian!!

The chassis is shared with Rivian, since Ford invested $500 million into this company for their skateboard chassis. If its anything similar to the power and torque of the Rivian, I see my retirement vehicle!!

However, the resin they use to mold their products is sourced from overseas vendors. Kind of like Toyota assembling their cars here, but all of their tier 1 & tier 2 suppliers will only use Japanese tooling to machine the parts they make. Because Japan gives year end subsidies to any Japanese...

After about 7-10 days of sitting I get the message on Ford pass that its going into deep sleep mode. So I bought the Ford performance charger, it does work with all batteries including AGM, and it also has a special mode for reconditioning batteries that it recommends to be used once per year...

I have several thousand dollars of active and passive jammer/reflector equipment taken off of my old ranger, and waiting for software updates from various manufacturers so that they are compatible with the new ranger. All of this is totally hidden within the bumpers, grill and body. Install is...

Thank You Benny!!
