Yep. If they built for another 25 years like the 1998 Benz E-class = dodge charger, they would have made the money back. Can’t build something new for 5 seconds and stop then wonder why cost per unit was so high

And these companies are trying to recoup the cost by selling their popular models at premium prices without German levels of interior quality or performance, isn't more reliable than a German car, and has the added negative aspect of poor quality that compromises the safety of drivers (a mercedes or bmw might hurt your bank account, but it's not going to cook you and your family). GM still has some juice left in it because of the corvette and the cadillac black wings, but the rest of the American cars are junk. I've no love left for ford. Chrysler could get it back if they bring back the neon srt and knock it out of the park.

Yep. This too.

That 1,5 is present in alot of car, Ford, Peugeot, Citroën, etc its a bad motor, they also have a 1,5 diesel also shared and its also terrible. They do this bad bandage crap, and after the car is stopped, they are going to charge the client for the repair...

I thought wet belts were wonderful and trouble free?/s

Agreed

They did it to try and drive enthusiasm

Why not? Is Edsel or Model A better?

What a shit thing to say. You don't know his Ex, ya jerk

A bit concerning considering her past. Might just be his turn.

I will advise you stop investing on your own and seek for guidance from a professional, I don't invest on my own anymore, always required help and assistance...

0:02 from my personal Financial advisor

YES!!! that's exactly her name (Mrs Elizabeth Rossiello ) I watched her interview on CNN News and so many people recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from NJ 🇺🇸

I'm a long term investor, I withdrew my profits of $61,000 during Xmas period last year...

This sounds so good and I would like to be a party to this, I there any way I can speak with her?

Now They're putting drain tubes on the 3 cylinder dragon engines. I know because I've installed several. Apparently they also have problems with the oil separator cracking and dripping oil all over the exhaust. I've never seen one leaking myself but ford thinks it's a big enough risk to pay us to inspect them.

Exactly It will take years for ford, or any new EV builders to recoup their investment. It took Tesla 17 years to turn a profit.

I read your comment, because I do the same thing! I just think they are charming together. No other reason is needed really…😊👍

😂😂

BABY Bronco? Not cool.

I think that April admitted that she drives what she can afford. If you just putt around the city this might make sense.

Small engine turbo= low engine life.

That's not a surprise. Tesla took 11 years to be profitable and up until last year had the biggest installed capacity to produce electric vehicles. Other manufacturers don't have the money or are not willing to spend enough until the cost per unit comes down to make money. They wouldn't even bother if it wasn't for policies and electric vehicles grabbing the entry luxury market.

WE need to see the numbers before you come to that conclusion. These numbers are lies. Electric motors are cheaper than ICE. For instance Tesla motors cost between $3000 to $5000 to manufacture, and that's all you need. No transmissions, no alternators, no turbos, no fuel injection, etc. Everything else Ford already has, the assembly line, chassis, drive train, etc. And that leaves batteries. Again Tesla batteries cost between $10000 to $15000. So if you remove the costs of the engine, transmission, and all other such parts, and replace them with motor and battery at most there is a $5000 to $10000 extra cost for Ford. So where does the $100,000 come from? April is right. They want a gov(tax payer) bailout so they are fudging the numbers. All corporations are doing this now. Tesla, Rivian etc. strated from scratch. They had to build factories, did all the R & D, but Ford has no such expenses. They have everything, and simply bought the parts, motors, bateries, software, and assembled. Again where is the $100,000 over run per car? People need to stop being so gullible. Corporations lie. They lie non stop. They own the politicians which is why politicians lie because they get bribed. Do the math yourself. And look at the CEO incomes. They are all up year on year 25%. If they are losing so much how come CEO incomes grow, even during the pandemic when no cars were sold. It does not add up. They are ripping us off yet again.

@@Metal0sopherTesla is the only company to profit from electric! Rivian = going broke due to cost per vehicle!

Still is for me, I have a V8!

Personally own 3 v8

If you are able to use a ford lighting daily you don’t actually need a truck.

@@djplonghead5403 ok 🤣

I’m glad you like the truck. The truck isn’t the problem. The company can’t or won’t improve their manufacturing process. You paid probably 75k for a truck that costs 150k or more to make. If they can’t make money at a price people will pay they won’t make them. They won’t support them. The dealers won’t service them etc.

@@thewaygokid3135 Not sure what your talking about. My ford dealer has serviced and fixed issues on my Ford Lightning a few times without issue.

This is a Ford Focus in USA!!!!! I wouldn't touch that car with a 10 ft pole!

Heck yes !! 6 months into that trans, everyone at ford knew it was a train wreck. Ford ?? “Let’s build it for another 11 years.”

Subsidized. The government(people) paying for it doesn’t make it successful

BYD doesn't count because all Chinese companies are essentially the Chinese gov't.
