They aren't trying to sell vehicles to our demographic any longer.

This thing is really ugly, I liked the raptor and all this stuff, I have a 16 focus rs and had a 2018 raptor and some other new Ford Toys but this Lightning looks like it would be better if it got hit by a lightning and burn down to the ground.

When I saw Biden driving it, number one, it must have been in self driving mode, because he probably did not know what was going on. AND second BARF because I saw him driving it.

Hey Shelby owner's thank many years of liberal voting. (Period) nothing more to say.

Farley has said he wants Ford to be an ALL ELECTRIC company. The next gen Mustang will be built on the Explorer chassis - which has only been used with a V6. It won't be all gas but a hybrid.
PS - Biden didn't "drive" the lightning. It was driven by a guy sitting behind the wheel on the right side. Videos of the scam are now hard to find and most have been deleted from searches. The most telling one was a shot that caught the steering wheel and LF wheel in the same frame as Biden was driving off. He turned the wheel right and the front wheel continued straight.

The NEW lineup is just a terrible polished turd... They probably wont have people waiting in lines to throw 50k- 70k for a new truck or MACH-ETTE. We have turned the corner to the new way cars will be built and electric is the chosen way. Watching that video of a nervous upper echelon of FORD motor company spoke volumes. These are troubling times for the automotive world, they wont be getting any of my nickels and dimes for any of that stuff. :(

Could someone please explain to me where all of the electricity is going to come from?
Many of the far0left also seem to be dead-set again nuclear power - altho no-one can seem to build a new plant in the US anyway?
NJ, CA, and others(?) all REQUIRE carbon-free by 20xx... which also means no natural gas for homes (heat-stove-hot water & dryer at my house), or building heat.
Also trucks (how many of them on the road). Not sure about ships (yeah, how much burned per container ship from China)?
I just don't get it... ???

People don't think or know. All they see is a smelly grimy gas station as compared to a nice clean power plug in their house. LA City has it's own water and power companies. The Mayor has directed that all 4 in basin gas fired plants they own to be closed - but kept available for emergencies. You know like an hot day when the citizens will get mad if their house gets hotter than 68 degrees. They import most their power from outside of LA County. They own part of a coal plant in Utah. They are building new big gas plant in Utah. They buy nuke power from Arizona (they bought their way out of AZ coal power). They built a wind farm in Kern county. They buy hydroelectric power from the Columbia River. They buy surplus solar from peoples houses and have added a lot of their own solar panels.
The people are happy due to the not in my backyard (NIMBY) effect. They don't see the pollution or inefficiency so they don't care and just sign on to the BS.
As for me I see a Nissan Armada in my future. Better equipped, more comfortable, and cheaper than an Excursion - plus it has an efficient 400 hp V8 not some overworked baby V6 turbo to tow with. It's also a better deal than my second choice the Chevy Tahoe.

yep, I keep wondering if anyone in politics - or advising politicians - can do any math?
Keeping those houses in LA at 68 in the summer (it was 117 outside while I was visiting Riverside last September) is gonna take a LOT of MegaWatts. How much solar can we get?
They also NEVER mention the cost... the "offshore wind" proposed for off the coast near MD/DC has "projected" cost at 2.5 times current generation methods.

Which they will subsidize with your tax dollars. Either during the build with tax free bonds for their donors or tax credits for the companies selling the power. Bottom line you'll pay more and get less - far less.

^^^ THAT is exactly when I get riled up.
A) Big Green can't seem to do math.
B) At my house, the "rate payer" and the "tax payer" are the SAME GUY (they keep saying that the "rates" will only go up a very small %)
