Ford had an Edsel too. Yeah, always “pulling” for American car company. I pass on their stock too.

As tough as GM, Ford, Stellantis is - and DEFINITELY will be in the near future, VW is tilting toward short term hurt. Their sales in China are WAY down and they have little in the way of EVs. Nissan is worse. Matter of fact even all Japanese makers are in very tough shape financially. Toyota was WAY late to the EV, betting on ICE and Hybrids. Korean car mfrs look good and ahead with EVs.
As said USA cos LOSE mega$$$ on each EV they manage to sell. Tough road ahead for each. Tesla... well they have the inside track and lightyears ahead of competition. Now Chinese EV mfrs, watch out - they ARE coming. Europe will prob put serious taxes on Chinese imported EVs. And at some point the USA will too. |

EV vehicles are the future of the automotive industry. If we don't make them, they will come from China or somewhere else.

BTW do you folks realize that there is still a 25% tariff on all stuff coming here from China? |

You have to expect that companies don't blindly sell at a price below incremental cost. They may have a plan the shows recovery of development costs within a projected sales volume. Sales lagging that projection could be a major problem. My only caution is that use the term loss of $32,000 may have a different meaning. |

Tesla, China, and prob Korean firms will thrive. |

But perhaps we have some people who worked in the automotive industry that can explain how these losses are calculated. Even NPR says that Ford is losing money on EVs. Ford's CEO is staking its future on electric cars : NPR |

You’re right most of use will dead long before EV’s can go 600 miles and be charged by next day to continue on trip. IMO hybrid makes more sense at least for next 20 years for masses. And no most can’t afford Tesla’s which may be able to go 200 miles in sub freezing weather if lucky? Then, there the salt belt which even gasoline vehicles can verily make it 5 years before the frames, body panels, and wiring decay. what do you think salt belt will do to EV? |
