The system will do anything to prevent selling stuff to people at a good price.
I bet Ford will send these trucks to the crushers before slashing prices to move them off the lots
The system will do anything to prevent selling stuff to people at a good price.
People could live in those cars
This "civilization" could easily be better for everyone. The problem is women and israelites are allowed to govern
And boomers
nope, just women and israelites
Well, at least remove the highly flammable batteries first.
You could turn those cars into a sneaker storage cabinet for some Black person with a lot of nikes
theres only a handful of them left
sportsball players and thats it. im guessing the sportsball players got a saline vax, mostly. thats why 99% of the deaths are semi-pro non-franchised players
Was watching one of those video about China's collapse is imminent and so fore but something said caught attention.
>China made sure to horde as much of the litium global market as it could.
>next thing that happens people are not buying electric cards
>So how much is your litium monopoly if nobody buys it?
Glad the electric cars psyop went belly up.
You'll be renting them as a living space soon enough. They're pushing car rental normalization bigly now, offering to let you rent decent tier cars for $200-300 a week. We will own nothing, and what we do own will break within 2 years.
Where's the offer and demand when you need it?
Here in Alaska the Ford dealers have mountains of 2023 Mach-Es and Lightnings. They won't budge on the prices. Probably waiting for Ford to buy them back or something. Or they got too used to Covid pricing where everything was selling for 20-30% over sticker.
Sunk cost fallacy. In this case literally. They will go out of business if they sell them at a loss. Ford will just buy them and ship them to China to sell for $10k. Some stupid liberal program will pay them.
Why would anybody buy an electric vehicle in a cold climate, especially Alaska??
this.
everyone knows that batteries don't work well in cold climates
these days most new vehicles are made to order. the new stuff you see on the lot are often just cancelled orders, or ex demo models (under 4000km/2000miles)
It's astounding how many Teslas are up here. There are a tiny handful of charging stations, electricity is pretty expensive, it's cold half the year, and there are zero Tesla service centers. They have to send a tech from the civilized world to work on your car.
Dealerships don't actually own the cars, they just sell them for Ford and profit from being the middleman. If they sell under a certain price, they would owe Ford money.
It's probably the same reason those cars are sitting there. Dealerships very rarely choose their stock and get what they get, and often just trade among each other to get the stock they actually want.
Pretty sure its just that Kendall is a shitty dealership
They can't budge on price because car market has been ponzischemed to hell in the last Century. Dropping price once would basically mean ending the car industry.
The price cutting trend for new automobiles has already started but it's too little and too late. American car companies are about to get fricked.
Even 10k off means little when interest is through the roof and the cars are all much more expensive than even 4 or 5 years ago.
>interest
Are people really taking car loans for a sub $100k purchase. I get take a loan for a house or taking a loan for a degree since you are only 18.
Dude, there are people taking out loans for Christmas shopping and I’ve seen financing ads for things like ammunition and even pizza.
>financing ammunition purchases
Holy shit its real
Ford just released the Ford Transit in electric for 100,000 Australian dollars. Not seeing price cuts here.
>100k AUD
I will never spend more than 25k AUD (2024 adjusting for inflation) on a new car
Dealers can frick off with this tax write off car shaped bait no one outside Canberra wants it
Also BYD bring us the el cheapo city car and start selling training kits to mechanics so I don't have to visit a fricking Kmart tyre and auto to service your glorified golf cart and get the bloody proper ev transfer case fluid IN STOCK IN COUNTRY
Luxury car tax adds another 30% or so to the final sale price aswell.
Thats from cars $75k and up.
An outdated tax that should've been repealed 30 years ago, is gonna stifle and make it impossible to get electric vehicles to the masses here. Couple that with extreme laws making it impossible to own an ICE vehicle...
Australia is the shithole of the western world, lead by fricking morons
Electric trash would never work outside of cities and their suburbs simply due to the massive amount of space between towns in Aus. Not to mention our entirely not fit for purpose electrical grid. Even now, driving from Brisbane to Sydney in a petrol car takes about 11 hours on a good day. It takes minimum 20 in an electric car due to stopping for a recharge every 200 ks. Did you know electric cars have worse battery life as they go faster? For some reason they missed the memo that gears are important for best joule:kilometer ratios.
I have a mate who's a linesman and he as described that on home solar connected to the grid is actually turning into a big problem, it's not phased coming into the grid for example, and really, most power grids are designed so the power flows in one direction.
you get hit by one of them heavy ass cars, it will knock the shit out of you.
I got hit by a ford f-150 and i had a concussion and couldnt even reach and grab things right for 3 nights continously and then on for another 2 weeks. didnt sleep right for 4 or 5 months.
those things would knock the shit out of you if you got hit by one.
>Did you know electric cars have worse battery life as they go faster? For some reason they missed the memo that gears are important for best joule:kilometer ratios.
It's not about power efficiency, drag is simply a b***h.
good frickem
They should donate them to Ukraine. Perfect environment for disposable single use vehicles.
>donate
Meaning the government will pay ford MSRP for each vehicle using taxpayer money and THEN give it to Ukraine
Yes, that's what I meant. Good for the Ukraine and good for our domestic manufacturers.
This is a $10,000 brand new truck in Japan btw. Not available in the US.
Toyota is possibly developing a compact pickup to compete with the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. It would no doubt be cheaper than both of them.
I love your hopefulness. We all know the dealers will only carry top trim TRD versions with $10k in dealer accessories and ~~*market adjustments*~~. It'll be $43,000 for a Corolla with a bed. Sadly, they'll sell every single one, too.
You're right. I'm still gonna buy a 10 year old tacoma because frick new car prices.
>Toyota is possibly developing a compact pickup to compete with the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz.
No American manufacturer has made an actual compact truck since 2013. There's a reason for this, Obama era EPA regulation which punished companies that make small vehicles with powerful engines.
The intent was to make trucks more expensive. But they just made them bigger to dodge the EPA fee. That's why all the trucks suddenly became gigantic.
>The intent was to make trucks more expensive. But they just made them bigger to dodge the EPA fee. That's why all the trucks suddenly became gigantic.
That's fricking hilarious and soviet tier.

Yes. And Obama was Bill Clinton 2.0 - a totally fabricated DeepState sockpuppet.
Clinton, btw, is why the US internet and access to it doesn't belong to the public (the Telecommunications Act of 1996). I hope that butthole gets eternally assraped by Hillary and her strap-on.
The late model rangers were already huge compared to the 80s and early 90s size rangers and s-10s. If I could buy a new 87 s-10 with Bluetooth, maybe a slightly more modern engine, it would be great. Crank windows and all.
i thought the F series was the go to shit
Trucks are just becoming normal sized.

makes sense
Foids Don't buy or drive trucks, so they wouldn't understand the significance of the democrat's regulations
Foids vote democrat so they can murder their babies freely and safe muh polar bears and the result is affordable trucks get banned.
We need to end Foid tyranny.
mutts will complain it's not a "real truck"
Always good for a laugh to see the 38 year old office drone with pot belly who shuffles papers for a living defend commuting in his Ram 3500 because everyone else is simply jealous. Drive whatever you want but don't pretend you need it because one time you towed a lawn tractor home.
i have never seen anyone get so mad as the morons in mall crawlers when i call the unnecessary truck "gender affirming therapy."
>"gender affirming therapy."
That's what I always called EV's.
It looks like a great ride for the cost. Why are you so obsessed with American thought?
there would be a huge market for them in america, the EPA prevents reasonably sized pickups from existing
US citizens are not the reason those are not available in the US.
>mutts will complain it's not a "real truck"
Hilarious how quickly this was proven correct
Would.
It’s useless here and wouldn’t pass regulations moron. So sick of you busriders posting this stupid piece of shit. If it has spark plugs, it’s not a truck.
My S-10 would rape your homosexual "Cummins" diesel, b***h.
Heh, Cummins.

The 350 engine swap for the S10 is suspiciously easy to perform.
Just wait until greta comes after your dirty smelly diesel, boy
Holy mother of cope
I'm sure it could fit a VW TDI engine at the very least.
I'm in the process of deleting a buddies right now.
Americans would buy these. Particularly if it gets remotely acceptable mileage. It would not be long before they were tuned up a bit though.
That's not a truck, it's a glorified ditty wagon.
>glorified ditty wagon.
DIDDY, muthafricka, DIDDY
>I tol u, homie

My bad anon have some tiddies.
No, god no. That would solve actual problems.
Thats not a truck thats a golf cart.
Many people would be grateful to have an affordable lil work truck instead of an overengineered 4-wheeled burden.
That's a nice truck. The ones that they sell in the US are so oversized it's insane. They started doing that when there were stupid tax incentives to buy half ton trucks because they thought that would help business. So then ALL trucks became massive to qualify for the stupid tax incentive.
japs pay extra tax to run what we consider normal sized vehicles.
you can buy jap hi-luxes and US hi-luxes here. the difference is distant and not just the size, they look nothing the same
It is to pulpil their way around newer car regulations by making it a fricking big rig sized while being powered by a homosexual eco boosted v6.
Do those have like kei car motors in them, or is it actually some diesel/gas turbo over 1L in displacement?
I believe it has no airbags, minimal dash, no ABS, so cutting out the annoying regulatory features.
Toyota IMV, I remember when it was announced. It's a better Kei truck. I'd buy one in a fricking heart beat if you could buy them here.
Those are extremely dangerous to our democracy!
get in homosexuals
I like it and would buy one. They're neat.
ATVs are replacing trucks on farms, etc.

On the plus side we might get a new crusade
Ofc, they would rather crush these vehicles instead selling them for cheap .
I would buy a cheap ev for 20-25k if I could get it but no the car market is extremely greedy right now and manufacturer are fearing the Chinese .
Tell me how you crush a lithium battery without causing an insane fire that's toxic as hell. OP is a stupid homosexual. The trucks will be used to repair those that have been sold unless the government buys them. A business will try to recover some money vs. lose it all.
If one of those POS things catches fire-- the whole lot burns inside 30 minutes. Expect israeli lightning to happen to the unbought ford lightnings. Epic insurance case. Also, what a win for the environment.
They dismount the battery before crushing the truck.
Battery gets flipped to some Chinese company for $25k, they put it in a $40k deathbox and we see it explode in webms.
There is nowhere to charge them and not enough power in the grid if there was. They have shit for range, deadly in cold climate, run through tires 10x a regular vehicle, induce motion sickness due to torque and regenerative braking, cause random inextinguishable fires, and are environmental poison from mining to recycling.

What is this phenomenon called?
It's the last gouge. They know there's no more future profits to be had. All they can do now is squeeze as many last pennies out of (You) before they go to invest somewhere else. And (You) will be left dealing with the consequences.
When we reach a point where my hope for having children reaches zero, then (they) will have some consequences to deal with.
Government subsides != capitalism
Capitalism causes government subsidies, if the goal is only money then there's no reason not to get as much guaranteed/free money as you can. No one actually cares about how free muh market is.
>No one actually cares about how free muh market is.
well the company shareholders, executives and financiers don't actually care about free markets of course. But actual cuckold lolberts/ancaps are still waiting for TRUE capitalism to be tried.
True capitalism keeps winning, and ancaps keep crying about its land taxation.
market manipulation and soft monopoly. Capitalists and Libertarians fail to understand that just like communism, their ideals only work in theory. In the real the primitive gift economy ("if i have extra, i'm going to give it to my friends") is far closer to a utopia than anything devised by modern man.
>primitive gift economy ("if i have extra, i'm going to give it to my friends") is far closer to a utopia than anything devised by modern man.

This would be absolutely amazing but we're sadly not iceland who don't have to deal with Black folk and shitskins and we're also run by israelites who would never such an ideology exist.
an easier way to say it is that corruption is endemic to the human spirit
i don't understand this phenomenon where people have the definition of a thing, observe it in real life, take note that the observable thing does not match its ideal definition, and decide there is a problem with the ideal, and not the implementation. even funnier when somehow, this phenomenon doesn't happen when they pontificate the "virtues" of communism.
>i don't understand this phenomenon where females and homosexuals have the.....
FIFY
i don't understand this phenomenon where people are so obsessed with the ideal of a thing that they completely ignore the reality of it.
Doesn't exist when it comes to private capital backed by government fiat. Companies can be completely negligent regarding how they operate financially and so long as there is a government grant or private hedge fund bailing them out, they'll continue to do so.
This isn't an argument for free market economics, this is just how it is. The incentives can be used for good or bad things. A good thing would be subsidizing a charity to feed the homeless. Market principles can't solve everything, and neither should it be expected to.
The single largest problem with public trading of shares to a market that only has immediate profit as an objective.
I shit you not, if Ford goes private, they'll survive this.
Because all their liabilities are publicly traded, shareholders get to decide whether Ford lives or not.
>only has immediate profit as an objective.
that's not true.
just be quiet
Remember they pushed EVs to save the planet
EVs produce 1450x more pollution than petrol vehicles.
Tyre wear for one. The extra weight is diabolical on any tyre, but EVs have these special eco hypermiling tyres that shred like there's no tomorrow.
The rest is industrial pollution, both the lithium mining and manufacturing cycle.
Wait until people find out how much electromagnetic pollution those EVs emit both at the driver's position and up to 5m away.
If the prices begin to lower resalers will pick then up in bulk before you have a chance to buy one "for cheap".
To make money you need to have money.
And if you can't afford a $20k car then you wouldn't be able to afford a $30k truck. Poncho will buy it for $45k before you ever have the chance to buy it for $18k
Get fricked loser.
You sir are not wrong.
Logically that makes sense since it would devalue their brand.
No different than Gucci torching their unsold inventory rather than donate it and have poor White trash and Black folk wearing it which ruins their brand.

Do not want.
Do not put EVs in that line. EVs are cheaper to maintain. You can get Nissan Leaf and install cutom batteries with 1000km range, the battery is heated, so during the cold weather the range doesn't drop, and the overall cost of maintance+charge for Leaf is approx $100/year (one hundred US dollars per year). EVs are the future. If there is a sufficient network of charging stations, then EVs are the best choice.
Russian bloggers doesn't seem to be sponsored by the global corporations and their tests in the russian offroad are pretty reliable, considering that we have terrain with one of the worst passabilities on the planet, due to black soils and heavy temperature shifts. What you say is correct only for Teslas, that are not really suitable for offroad, but it's not 2010 anymore, and even Russia and India produce EVs now, and such manufacturers as Toyota well known for making proper offroad vehicles.
Toyota is not going to magically defy the laws of physics and make a shitty garbage technology actually work.
You're better off modifying a Bentley for off-road use.
Can you speak with facts and logic instead of kvetching?
FACT: battery technology is garbage.
Batteries SUCK. They always have and always will, because their energy density and chemistry is shit unless you're talking about special types like lithium thionyl chloride.

You would have been the same guy saying hand tools would never be battery powered 20 years ago
It was like that in 2010. Not anymore. We in Russia, in Saint Petersburg create custom batteries for Nissan Leaf, $5K for used one in good condition + $5K for battery, and you get 1000kms range with heated battery that will keep range during cold weather. Welcome to the 2024, times have changed. Also, Leaf costs nearly nothing to maintaine, so, if you got the cheap energy in your location, then you can drive the whole year for ~$100 per year, with range of 1000kms. And that is just one example.
I wouldn't argue that early Teslas was overpriced toys for California guys with fancy haircuts and tight jeans. Now EVs are the ultimate vehicle. Cheap, realible and ten times more effective, than ICEs, not to mention, that more than dozen of countries currently produce EVs, and even the cheap ones, made in third-world countries are already of HQ and ten times cheaper, than Teslas, while having nearly same, same, or even better specs. Even five years ago EVs was still a fad, now, in any country with the cheap energy - EVs are the next generation of vehicles. All you need is the cheap energy sources and good network of charging stations near you.
Teslas are overpriced toys. Currently we have globally 50+ of EVs manufactorers, most of which are better and cheaper, I mean, much cheaper, than Teslas. Just like with IBM PC - the technology went to outer spaces, and became the international and public.
20% from 1000km range... It's still not that much.
True, but in Russian climate any car is dead after twenty years after active usage. Temperature shifts from +10 to -10 few days in a week can kill any metal, even the best one. Unironically the longest surving metal is on Land Rovers. Volvos are second best. You guys also have awful climate, that constantly changes, and besides, oceanic evaporation, both of which kill metal very fast. All Land Rovers, I see on second hand market in Russia, in the top condition considering metal.
You are delusional, cold will destroy the batteries, and as for going off road. Good luck. As soon as you start hitting the accelerator the batteries get wrecked. There is a reason why all these geniuses are doing 95kmph on the autobahn in their 600 hp Tesla's, because they won't get anywhere otherwise. I had Tesla for 2 months, if you take it out and take out your foot down, I mean really thrash the thing in the hills the battery lasts less than 15 minutes. It's a joke.
>the battery is heated, so during the cold weather the range doesn't drop
Just the act of heating the battery is a significant drain and causes a drop of approx 20%
>EVs are cheaper to maintain
its not
you know what is cheaper to maintain?
early 60' shitboxes
It would be interesting to have an electric/hybrid type car that uses any burnable fuel for heating the batteries and interior, that would improve those cars by a lot.
morons selling trucks to people who don't have access to ev station
Must go home to charge all night to drive the next day
How dare these hicks not buy our trucks
That will be 100k compared to our 10k trucks we used to sell way back when
OP PLEASE DELETE PICTURE!!!
THIS IS VERY DISTURBING AND HAUNTING.
IMGA PARKED CARS. LOTS OF THEM.
AAAAAHJHHHHHHH
Thier cars are literally worthless, even if they gave them away, the batteries and electrics are most likely no good, been sat, probably need replacing at significant cost. The range is abysmal in even the good ones. There is a similar problem here with these electro SUVs. You cannot give them away so they sit idle with 100k plus price tags. Occasionally some morons lease then, but not for long. The batteries are the problem, so scaling them up to 500 times bigger gives you a similarly big problem. I mean how far do you think you can get a 5 ton SUV to go on a thousand sets of double A's? The whole thing is a total scam
Remember that time Henry Ford decided the the money from car sales should be used to increase employee wages rather than pad shareholders' pockets? Remember when those shareholders sued him? Remember when the Supreme Court MANDATED Ford stop his plans to pay his employees more and forced him to pay the money to his shareholders instead? Shareholders will do everything to make companies frick over consumers and employees as much as possible.
This is why you never take your company public if you care about your customers and employees.
and guess who did it?
shareholders are the company owners you piece of rat excrement.
Workers don't own the company. If they don't like their wage they can quit and find another job.
Workers ARE the company.
you ARE a rat turd.
The EV market is already crashing.
Used 2023 EVs with little to no mileage are already over 20k under MSRP.
A used battery is a piece of shit on any market.
A used engine is NOT.
been awhile since ive had a pediburger
I’d buy one, but can’t afford it. I make good money, too. They don’t want people in them, obviously.
First they could raise prices because of vehicle shortage, and now they are keeping prices inflated "just because"?
>now they are keeping prices inflated "just because"?
Those vehicles are an asset with a (we know fictional) value. They're worth more on the balance sheet unsold at a high price than sold at a low one.
It's the auto industry version of the banks and housing speculators keeping unsold (and unsellable) houses off the market. As long as they're not sold they can be assigned any value - and used as collateral for loans and speculation.
NOTHING CAN BENEFIT THE GOYIM.
>Nobody wants to buy an EV

You take that piece of shit offroad and it'll be dead in under a half hour.
It's a goddamn golf cart.
I don't think so, it's not 2010, most current EVs are good with offroad, all tests show that they do feel great off road.
IDGAF what the "tests" show. These corporations will blow smoke up your ass all day to sell these disposable pieces of shit. It's a fricking golf cart.
Ask yourself, why golf carts can be powered by batteries, by ATVs aren't.
>by ATVs aren't
Because they're for use in remote areas where you might not have power but could easily have a fuel tank? Also, Polaris does make a EV UTV. No idea if it's any good though.
this looks 1000x's better than Elon's shit box

>When the snake oil salesman goes into automobile industry.
fun fact
the mark up on vehicles is 800% for low end models and often 2000% or more for retail markup on sports or luxury models
if you see a car for $30k it cost around $3k to make at the factory. the local dealer usually buys them for half the value
i work in the auto industry. Ill just say one thing.
Its far..far.. too late, get prepared
Fricking israelites
Whatever happened to small pickups with 3 seats? I miss those.
messicans bought them all
the EPA mandated emissions standards for trucks based on the size of their footprint and the curve is fricked so smaller trucks, despite having lower emissions than bigger trucks, are not low enough for their size and so banned.
This is why all new trucks are massive and if you want a little pickup you have to get something from like the 80s
That's not true. The Ford Ranger, for example, was not discontinued because of fuel regulations, but because Ford felt they would sell more F-150s by not offering a compact. Blaming EPA is auto manufacturer propaganda. Ford deliberately did not update the Ranger in a significant way for 13 years. Why would anyone buy a new Ranger at that point when it was basically the same vehicle as had been sold since '98?
>Why would anyone buy a new Ranger at that point when it was basically the same vehicle as had been sold since '98?
For the same reason the S-10/Ranger/Tacoma range are the most in-demand vehicles in the US right now.
I've had several great offers for my busted-ass S-10. All the important parts are in great shape.
The less bullshit in a vehicle the more people are going to want it.
>Ford felt they would sell more F-150s by not offering a compact
Given the F-150 has been the most popular truck in America for decades, Ford seems to know what it takes to sell trucks.
Ford sells at least one F-150 every minute, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
>Ford sells at least one F-150 every minute, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The government CAFE fuel standards are fricking up all sorts of things. CAFE regs force cars to have higher and higher fuel efficiency and its based on wheelbase length with an exception for light trucks; but small little trucks like the old Rangers didn't qualify for the exemptions due to their short wheelbase and limited number of passengers so the CAFE regs said they had to have such a high MPG rating that they wouldn't have enough power to do any work so they basically got regulated out of existence forcing people to buy larger trucks which is absolutely brilliant considering that CAFE is supposed to be reducing fuel consumption.
The same thing happened to big American V8 sedans like the Crown Vic. CAFE basically made them impossible to make since they didn't get the light truck exemption.
It's too bad because there really is a market for those that isn't being met.
Yeah, that cheap Toyota anon posted earlier would sell like hot cakes if the government would allow it to be sold. We're in a recession, people need cheap, reliable vehicles; but our government has its head so far up its ass that its just pretending everyone is going to go out and buy a $100,000 EV because of the climate change meme.
>We're in a recession, people need cheap, reliable vehicles; but our government has its head so far up its ass
You're thinking like a slave, not a slaveowner.
Making personal transportation unaffordable for the masses is part of the larger ~~*plan*~~ to herd those masses into "walkable cities" - to further control them and then make it easier for the browns+blacks+AI killbots to slaughter them.
They’re fricking morons. Everyone will just switch to using horses again.
finally a coherent answer on how fricked we are
ya thats why every car is a crossover
Nothing shows up in search.
I wish Elon would make a cybercar. The cybertruck looks awesome, but its XBOX HEUG. I don’t even think it would fit in my garage.
>I wish Elon would make a cybercar
>every tesla model is a cyber car
nice low IQ post Black person
>Ford will send these trucks to the crushers before slashing prices to move them off the lots
>EV trucks
Lets hope so. No one wants that garbage. I guarantee you there aren't any V8s sitting around on that lot.
Id take one for 30k. But they’re 75k
The US is committing terrorism and slavery against many of the people.
Nobody wants an EV. They sell in norway because the state imposes a 200% tax on normal cars. And they sell in china because state owned enterprises i.e all enterprises are forced to buy them or given silly incentives like state loans if you put X amount of miles on EVs. This results in chinese companies buying EVs, placing them on concrete blocks plugged in running 500.000 miles without leaving the parking lot. Its all a scam, the only people who buy EVs were forced to do it (norway) paid to do it (china) or they buy a tesla as a second car they never drive to roleplay about saving the world (california)
Not like that in countries with the cheap energy. In Russia EVs are the bliss from above.
>In Russia EVs are the bliss from above.
Post examples, not byd please
All of them. No import taxes (literally zero) + ultra cheap energy. Even Tesla Model X is a nice deal here.
I know for a fact that one of the largest manufacturers in the world, that prides themselves with being so environmentally conscious…will scrap 30,000 of their product if they dont sell instead of lowering their price. And it’s something we all need.
why not give them away and write off tax
Nice link, you piece of shit homosexual OP.

>some think ford is having trouble selling them, while others think it's COVID related
The world is nothing but homosexuals, israelites, and Black folk.
My 22 f350 that i ordered sat at the speedway for six months because they didnt have a computer for it. Gg just in time manufacturing
Economic crash coming.
Well they will just get another bail out. the bigger their "losses" are, the more government money they get. if anything they get more money by failing because then they have the assets and get paid retail value in cash, whereas if they had to sell them to people they'd only have cash value.
I remember living near northfield, oh like 15 yrs ago there was a huge lot filled with fleet cars and vans for quite some time. I always thought about getting a minecraft key and snagging one just for the lulz
>cybertruck announced
>rave reviews
we are cutting our production in half.
It's to force the white cattle to live with the mud races in the big city, sharing tiny appartments in the ghetto with 10 people like in the 19th century.
Hahahahah
Drop a bunch of firebombs and make the whole lot glow with HOLY FIRE for miles
TWISTED FIRESTARTER I HATE EVs
Same here nobody wants a shitty EV they cant sell them they are just building up massive lithium battery fires.
>goes to a storage lot
>cars are stored there
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
What the frick is wrong with you morons? How do you remember to breathe with your brain functioning like this?
Do you morons think every single car is made to order and immediately sold?
Its not a storage lot actually.
Its the entire parking area for a football stadium. Ford rented it out because they had overflow from their storage area.
>not it's not storage IT'S RENTED STORAGE
Fricking christ you morons.
Also, to add another few layers to this fricking moronation. The cars in the OP image are clearly not F-150 lightnings.
This has absolutely nothing to do with EVs and everything to do with car sales in general cratering.
All I stated was a fact you cantankerous adversarial homosexual. Don't assign motivations to me.
>Its not a storage lot actually.
Is not a fact.
I fricked your mother, is.
I had sexual relations with BOTH of your mums.
Simultaneously.
Yank women can't resist the BAC.

frick off OP, if they want to destroy their property, they should be able to
If you want to check onto some cool looking EVs - here's on of the best latest ones, Nissan Ariya. Also good looking insides.
Upcoming from Honda. First year price will be x1.5, ofc, just as usual, but after a year they will drop it, since all EVs are much cheaper in production and this would be a real deal
VW ID4
Golfs coming with electric motors from 2014, and cost like twenty years old BMW 5 series.
The world is terminally ill with financial cancer. Profit isn’t enough, they seek infinite growth. If a company makes 20 billion in profit one year, if it makes 20 billion in profit the next year it would be considered a colossal failure since there was no growth. It’s absolute insanity.
B-class comes with EM since 2015, used costs like fifteen years old 5-series
Used Bolt is a good option also
Hyundai IONIQ
Mazda MX-30 looks nice, but range is only 200km, not much, kinda not serious, but looks are awesome
Citroen C4 is reallty nice, as all french cars lately... Good looking, 350kms range, cheap cost
Toyota never disappoints. C-HR has range of 400km and looks really nice. Also pretty much cheap for what you get.
But koreans steadily, for a decade already, prove to be the best car manufacturers. Cheap, great looks, 500kms range.
KIA Niro, range 450kms, also budget segment
Mazda CX-30 comes with EM from 2019
anyone with half a brain knew that it would end like this.
but CEOs got bribed by the sweet subsidies from the governments, and didn't really give a shit what will happen once those run out, since they knew they won't be with the company anymore by that time anyway.
Bolt EUV (slightly bigger Bolt)
Mitsubishi Airtrek II
I dunno how big import taxes on EVs you guys got, but Jaguar I-Pace I is pretty much budget option in Russia
I think all our second hand EVs are getting exported so we buy new cars. Also all the small shitboxes got pitiful batteries and I want a small shitbox. Only now are they are putting useful batteries in the really small cars.
are any of these better than Tesla equivalent for price and range?
They will change the paperwork to make them into 2025 models, cut production and fire employees, and sell them to you dumb goys next year.
Polestar 2 is very budget and it's a sub-brand of Volvo
XC40 comes with EM from 2017, range is 400kms
Audi Q4 e-tron
I won't post ones that cost above $50K, but some of them, like Polestar 4 do look insane
Why truck when you can have a van?
When the corporate empire captured the market they believed that people would just be forced to go into debt to buy their shit.
I see this a lot with food in the UK, Heinz ketchup is 3-4x more expensive than store brand ketchup, same with their tinned products. Are people still buying this shit out of brand loyalty?
Do they just refuse to lower the prices until the goods are out of date and then trash them?
Seems like a poor business model.
i cant even afford to fix my own car for $600 what makes them think i can buy their fricking bullshit
fricking boomers hoarded all the wealth and are surprised when no one has any
