I know this dude wasn’t an employee but what the hell is the company doing with an uncovered 8' hole.  Like the fact that you can’t leave a hole uncovered should be obvious.  There are also pretty clear OSHA regulations about it:

I don’t know I wouldn’t call a 6 month trend in stock price of -21.36% “doing well”.

Weirdly enough the buildup of inventory might help them as there is about to be some serious supply chain problems due to dock worker strikes.  Similar to how Toyota came out on top of the chip shortage.

I don’t know the Mustang Mach-E sells pretty well and the F150 Lighting sells much better than GM’s offerings in the very limited EV truck segment. The Ford E-transit is pretty much the only EV van and they moved over 6,000 units of that this year which is more than I thought. So I wouldn’t say Ford got caught flat foo…

In the first paragraph the “U.S.” is used in two different ways making it confusing to the reader.  The initial cost of $2 billion for EV tax credits is talking about the U.S. federal government.  The $820 billion quoted in the embedded link is more of a direct cost to U.S. citizens.  It also was kind of a sketchy…

Wait until you hear about the metric system in the U.S.

That’s fair. They do get terrible gas mileage. The charms are they are 1. bulletproof reliable 2. cheap/easy to work on 3. Hold their value exceedingly well. 4. great off road 5. that back window!

What if they made some alliance with other manufacturers that weren’t doing well, maybe Renault and Mitsubishi for example?

Hmm, have you heard of the 5th gen 4Runner? It is like your old 4Runner in every way just new and, depending on your definition of ancient, possibly the same car.

“Other updates the Cybertruck’s FSD system gets are:

The Dodge Rampage is wayyy uglier than several of these:

“S&P Global cut Nissan’s credit rating to junk in March of last year.”

The Subaru Tribeca. I’m not even sure what they were trying to do with it as they had several models that were better at doing whatever it was trying to do. I’m kind of surprised it even lived long enough to have a facelift done as the first gen was hideous and should’ve been shelved before production.

I would imagine most CEO’s of car companies are terrible people as well-however they don’t own one of the largest online communication companies or blab about offensive social commentary on everything.

There were plenty of Hyundai’s that blew up to oil starvation too:

One of the earlier “fixes” to the whole oil starvation causing the engine to fail issue with Hyundai’s was to update the software for the knock sensor to make it more sensitive. Essentially the car could preserve the engine by immediately putting the car into limp mode when the engine would inevitably start to fail.…

I would imagine that has to do with what the final drive ratio is on the manual car.

“New cars suck. I told you: I’m old.”

I’ve found the mechanical stuff is relatively stout on modern cars the main pain points are the series of various modules all over the car that fail and need to be reprogrammed using manufacturer specific scan tools.

Do they drive it? I saw Lincoln LS’s with the 3.9 V8 come in almost daily for ignition coils.
