General Discussion

more unique problems: initial price and apocalyptic depreciation. The loss of incentives was an additional gut punch. In other words, if you bought a new EV, there's a good chance that you're an idiot unless you keep it for several years.

Ford's big mistake (to me) was rushing to market with EVs that weren't going to be terribly popular long term: the F150 and the Mustang Mach-E. Folks that want big pickemup trucks aren't going to buy into an EV version in a big way any time soon. The Mach-E, while vastly improving year over year, and quite frankly an amazing performance machine in GT trims (especially the Rally, whoa), it's got that "but it's not a Mustang" label from a lot of folks that never owned a Mustang in the first place, or weren't buying a Mustang any time soon. It seems the Edge and Escape would have been good platforms for SUV EVs. But what do I know.

And Honda, why? Nobody shopping for a Honda wants to hear about how your EV platform is a General Motors platform. And why isn't the new Prelude an EV? Look at it! Not that it matters. Your shit dealership network putting "market adjustment" prices on those underpowered, miserable little things probably isn't going to work out for you (psst...you've only sold like 200 of them so far). Learned nothing from the CR-Z mistake.

Sorry, rant over.
