    Bad design or bad execution. Maybe both?

    Bad design or bad execution. Maybe both?

    If this happens, users will be confused at best. Look at the picture in the first post... if a car plugs in on the left most slot, the open slot between the car in the picture and the left most slot can not charge.... because if they plug in, it will stop either the car on the left or the car...

    Programmers - why so many bugs?

    two things are true in my mind... 1) Ford is making strides in OTA... a year ago they couldn't really do them at all, now they mostly work. Nobody but Tesla is in this league at the minute. 2)Ford is still king of the pigs... leading in a race of really abysmal performers...

    Really good video - thanks for sharing... In the last week or two, I've heard: EVs are all made of carbon fiber, that is why they cost so much EVs are way too light, that is why they can't go in the snow My EV battery will need to be replaced in one more year, because then it will be 3 years...

    Thanks for the update, I'll save the link to share with those that claim... but my X brand EV gets sooo much better winter/summer/highspeed range. At the minute, EVs are a lot more similar than they are different.

    Ford’s EV business lost $2 billion in 2022, offset by big profits in fleet and legacy units

    I understand that point of view, but the accountants think differently. o_O One of the under currents here is the auto companies getting ready for the Chinese. The Chinese are already in Europe and will be in North America soon. Legacy auto, (Ford, GM, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes etc.) can not...

    Ford’s EV business lost $2 billion in 2022, offset by big profits in fleet and legacy units

    Ford’s EV business lost $2 billion in 2022, offset by big profits in fleet and legacy units
