FORD DITCHED EV production and It Does NOT Look Good

In December 2022, Ford's CEO Jim Farley announced a partnership with 2,000 dealerships for the company's new Model E program. However, after two years of active encouragement, the company is suspending its electric vehicle certification program for dealerships after rolling back requirements late last year. But why the sudden change of mind?

It is like this AI generated junk can't even do elementary math.
The increase from 2022 to 2023 was 50%. It is 15% for 2024. So, lets say the market was 500k cars in 2022, with 50% increase in 2023, it is now 750k or an increase of 250k cars. Rising again by 15% in in 2024, it is now 862,5000 cars, an increase of around 112k, yet that increase is actually impressive as the overall auto market is significantly slowing down for ICE cars.
This also ignores the context that the overall auto market in 2024 is growing at 3.5% compared to 2023, meaning EV sales growth is about 4x to 5x higher than the overall market including ICE cars.
This is just literally toddler level of AI generated garbage.

You just gotta love the E-150 pulling the Airstream. Will it even get across a football field on a charge? NOT LIKELY. Just remember the arithmetic they're using. We sold none this year, we sold 1 next year. And the headline reads 100% growth. Don't fall for this b.s.

Are you seriously this dense....? First of all, it is an F-150, not an E-150, second of all the Airstream is around 5000 pounds, and the F-150 towed a 5300 pound Coachmen trailer around 100 miles. Are you claiming football fields are now more than 100 miles long, instead of 100 yards...? There were 1.2 MILLION EV's sold in 2023, and sales are projected to rise by 15% to 20%, while the overall ICE market is at 3.5% year over year.
So, people shouldn't fall for your failed Arithmetic nor your obviously poorly researched BS.
