Time to dump the dealers and go direct
They can’t by law :(
Ok, but lots of big companies just break the law and then say “change it or we will fucking burry you in ads that say you rape turtles” and then magically the law is changed to accommodate them. It’s the Silicon Valley playbook.
Legacy has switched to the full propaganda against ev model instead shrug
To create an affordable EV vehicle at a price that still allows the company to make money will take time and resources invested in creating the infostructure to do so. The people at the helm of the company now will not be there when this comes to fruition so there is no motivation for them to reduce their company profits for something that will hurt them during their tenure.
The switch to EVs will have winners and losers, companies that are run like this will probably fall within the loser camp.
Eh Ford specifically sells a shitload of trucks. Most vehicles they sell are trucks. Trucks make most of their profit. And trucks will still allowed to be combustion for a while
well, ford told them they had to, among other things, hire and train competent and knowledgeable sales and service staff, and that’s just a bridge too far for your typical car dealer
Kind of like that ID.4 couple I found at the only charger for miles who had arrived at 1% because the dealer didn’t tell them about ABRP
could be because abrp is garbage
What’s the better alternative for a Volkswagen?
