Elon Musk has been under scrutiny for the way he handles his duties at Tesla for a while now, and a recently uncovered email won’t help his case. CNBC recently obtained emails that show Musk asking Nvidia to prioritize processor shipments to his social media company, X, over Tesla.
TheflyersfanWouldn't it be easier and cheaper for Ford to nuke their EV program now and instead pay any non-compliance fines that might creep in? Losing between $100,000 to $132,000 per vehicle doesn't keep the lights on for long.
Jkross22Ford bailed on sedans and hatches to build higher margin SUVs and trucks and EVs and then got drunk during Covid with profits that they now can't figure out how to get back. I wonder what would have happened had they played the long game with Fusion/Fiesta/Focus. How much would it really cost them to bring over the Puma hybrid? That's an interesting car and would give people a reason to at least look at Ford. Other than Mustang and F150, the rest of their stuff looks homely and is too expensive for what it is. Especially the homely Escape.

JonathanI can't believe I'm saying this, but I feel some sympathy for the legacy automotive companies. Being told by the feds to manufacture increasing numbers of a product (EVs) that the majority cannot afford, don't even want if they did have the money, and all to allegedly "save the planet". I pray more sane and rational minded people turn back some of these regulations and impending deadlines before they're implemented.
