A very good video I thought. Interesting that He's going to buy another one, albeit at a greatly reduced price.
IMHO, the big issue with these cars, will not be after two years, but maybe after that, as time goes by, maybe after 4 yrs, who will buy that car with the prospect of a battery replacement in the not too distant future. Does anyone know what the battery life is, & how much is a replacement (battery)?
I've done my bit for the EV movement. Picked up my new TTV6 Petrol Raptor a few months ago.
By my calculations I should be able to offset at least two Tesla's with my car!

how do you like it so far?
Are they as good on fuel as Ford claims them to be in the real world?
On the road I'm averaging around 13.5. Just spent two weeks at Fraser Island and it averaged 19.7 but that was with a lot of inland tracks so still pretty happy with it.
It absolutely hauls. Quite astonishing that a 2.5T vehicle can accelerate the way it does. Funnily enough it's the suspension that really is the best feature. Traffic calming is a thing of the past. It has active suspension and just eats up speed bumps, woop de doo's etc.
Best car I've bought since I got my GTS. It's a bit weird having the two parked next to each other though (Ford and HSV).

So Tesla Gigacastings ( ie a fancy way of making “die casting” large parts sound more special than it really is… Elon BS Marketing 101… ) are not a good design idea for a pickup truck towbar direct attachment point…
Bring on the Tesla Fan Boys / Girls trying to defend this design issue and towing safety standards that allow a 11000 Lbs / 4990 kg tow rating, with a towbar attached directly to the light weight Aluminium Die Casting one piece rear structure…

I heard the cyber truck described as “giving birth to a delorean if the mother was smoking crack during pregnancy”
South Korean drivers scramble to get rid of electric vehicles, citing safety concerns following fires…
23 August 2024
“ Vehicles that were completely burned down due to a Mercedes Benz electric car fire that broke out on Aug 1, are lying in the underground parking lot of an apartment complex in Incheon, South Korea on Aug 2, 2024.”
https://onecms-res.cloudinary.com/im...?itok=rIEJhzbT
“ On Aug 1, a Mercedes-Benz electric sedan with batteries made by Chinese company Farasis Energy caught fire in the underground garage of an apartment in the South Korean city of Incheon.
The blaze took over eight hours to extinguish and reportedly damaged more than 100 cars. More than 20 people also suffered smoke inhalation and had to be hospitalised.
Preliminary investigations show that the fire was made worse because the sprinklers in the parking lot did not work properly.
Just days later, a Kia EV6 burned out in a parking tower in South Chungcheong province, taking more than an hour to put out.
However, safety concerns are now hurting South Korea's EV market.
Used-car dealer Song Su-chan said more EV owners are trying to sell their cars but there are few takers.
We have (EVs) being put on the market, but we can’t accommodate them because they’re just not selling. We need to be able to sell one to buy another,” said Mr Song, who has 45 years of experience in the trade. “

“ Harris campaign now says VP ‘does not support’ electric vehicle mandate in latest flip-flop…
What the “fact check” leaves out is that Harris, 59, co-sponsored legislation in April 2019 that sought to ban the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles by 2040.
The Harris-backed Zero-Emission Vehicles Act of 2019 – introduced by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.) – was announced as a “bold plan for transitioning the United States to 100% zero-emission vehicles.
The bill would have forced automobile companies to transition away from fossil fuels by requiring 50% of new passenger vehicle sales be zero emission cars by 2030. The mandate would ramp up 5% each year until 2040, when 100% of new vehicles sold would be required to be electric or hydrogen powered.
After model year 2040, the [Environmental Protection Agency] Administrator may issue an injunction on the manufacture of any passenger vehicles other than zero emission vehicles by a vehicle manufacturer,’’ reads the text of the proposed legislation supported by Harris “
