Tesla has likley the most efficient manufacturing of any carmaker in the world, yet they cannot sell a car in North America as cheaply as the Chinese. I seen a lot of stuff on Chinese complaining about how poorly constructed many of them are. The Chinese are big on features, not on long term reliability.

So, is this the crack that eventually breaks open the dyke?

Background: as of a couple of weeks ago, at least one poll showed QC's Premier not doing so well in the popularity department in spite of a honkin' minority in the legislature/National Assembly from 2022's provincial election, so is this one way of looking nicer?

Finally, a replacement for the Edsel. /
That is a lot of money to kiss off. What factories do we have in Canada that are geared to EVs? With Trump already on the warpath their future is looking pretty bleak and I don't think Ford's will be the last bad news for the EV industry

I said years ago that EVs are not well suited to a Prairie winter - it seems those "experts" are lacking in expertise and the gullible politicians who fell for it are the problem.

I think most people have realized that the promised land of cheap EVs that can replace IC cars was a lie.
EVs will continue to get better over time, and they'll still exist because there is a market for them, but for most North Americans a hybrid or PHEV is far more practical.
EVs shine in the suburbs as a second car in the family. You keep the bigger SUV/Truck for longer trips, and commute with the EV. For people in apartments EVs are difficult to use because overnight charging isn't really an option for most renters.
PHEVs and Hybrids combine the best of both worlds, and allow for easy long distance trips, as well as the reduced commuting cost of an EV, particularly a PHEV.

The real problem is lack of accountability for these experts and politicians.

I would be interested in a diesel or V8 Gas pick up hybrid option.

The Mach E Rally is in my future. I already have a truck(s) but for in town zips you can't beat an EV if you have the ability to Level 2 charge at home.
