Worth noting: this was not “Ford” responding to Tesla/Musk it was the personal account of a Ford employee and not one who would typically be in a position to speak on behalf of Ford.

The Roadster2, Semi and Cybertruck are all vaporware in regards to production. Much like Bre-X gold deposits. It’s not hard to roll out a hand built demonstrator so simply showing a (partially) working mock up doesn’t make them anymore an auto manufacturer than the hundreds of tuners at SEMA every year.
No, it doesn't work that way. What you're describing is Bre-X. When there is no gold in the end, everything collapses.
Ain, there are so many variables you cannot make that assertion with any confidence.
No one is “mad”. I just call bullshit when I see it.
you have to redo your house’s electrical system to install a single 240v plug? how do you dry your clothes?
Except they Tesla was an AWD model and they left the F150 in 2WD. Then they gave the Tesla a rolling start.
Penske is an idiot. The E-tron is the EV equivalent of the Q8, not Q5. Size, performance, features and wait for it...price are nearly identical.
Be prepared for the onslaught of “you’re a short seller” comments.
The Tesla measurements weren’t 100% uphill, they are on similar “hilly” routes which includes up and down grades. It’s an apples to apples comparison.
no, 5mpg is not accurate. With a heavy load you may get in to the single digits but it’s still high single digits.
Depends on which measure of efficiency you’re talking about. If looking at energy consumption, yes, the Tesla may be slightly more efficient. If looking at energy storage, than Tesla is far less efficient.
A few things....
When you can’t make typical curved, stamped body panels fit this is what you do...
Link? This ain't on his Twitter as of now...
Correction: they will claim the base model will be $40k but the launch editions will be $90+ and 3 years from now there will be an admission that they’ll never sell one for less than $55k
It’s not working....it’s incredibly off putting to anyone who isn’t a Muskateer. Specifically share holders
What is the SAE J2807 tow rating and how much batter (%) does it consume making the Davis dam run bottom to top?
Commerical trucks don’t have crumple zones....and weigh a lot more than 4200lbs. And make up 1/3 of all vehicles on the road.
The “fun pedal” will no longer be available in anything in North America starting around 2025. Mark my words.
