Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Agency: Lost systems minutes before "the call"

Was checking my email on phone after 5pm and Microsoft was just constantly refreshing on the sign in attempt.

Went to the PC and VPN worked but couldn't access email. Then I got the call on my personal phone.

Good luck everyone! Nobody deserves this. Battery vehicles will bankrupt the auto industry and then the global reset will deny regular people private vehicles. Nail in the coffin!

I agree the EV push is not going to succeed in the next 10 years, at least. I retired from another Automotive OEM, now living in Florida, and there is not one single EV charging station in this substantial Floridian community. The infrastructure needs to be comfortably in place to 'build the confidence' to purchase an EV.

I'm going to push my town to becoming a golf-cart community. I don't mind spending $10k on a battery-powered golf cart, travel 30mph or less, to bee-bop around town to get groceries, go to the park, etc. It's green, climate control, electrification.

I am not at all interested in a $50k+ electric car that will come with monthly-subscriptions to activate the options. That is just simply stupid.

Electric bikes, electric scooters, electric golf-carts is the electrification I can see as a reality.
