The CEO of Ford says they’re building a thirty thousand dollar electric pickup? That goes in the “I’ll believe it when I see it” bin.
It’s only designed to put SlateEV out of business.
Elon Musk convinced the world EVs need to be expensive but the reality is his cars had the highest profit margins in the industry. EVs cost less than ICE cars to build, because they contain hundreds fewer parts and very little R&D because electric motors are already >90% efficient. Battery prices have dropped 90% since 2012. Ford, GM, Tesla all got into EVs because of the promised profit margins as luxury vehicles for simps. That’s why they put hundreds of stupid gadgets and screens in them, to make it appear like value. And it was working, but he couldn’t help his little Nazi ketamine antics.
Lithium batteries are now $110/KWHr, so for a 50KWhr car that’s $5500. Sodium batteries already available from CATL are 30% cheaper. Newer EV motors are down to $500. EVs are cheap cars to make.
I’m not talking about concept cars or mockups. By “see it”, I mean on the showroom floor, available for sale to the general public at that price.
Still, thanks for the pic!
And the people that buy Ford trucks will say it’s for woke sissies that don’t like rolling coal.
