EU authorities are also reacting to the many billions of dollars in Chinese government subsidies that have gone into BYD and every other part of the Chinese EV industry. They only like that sort of thing when it is Airbus.

Not a fair comparison since one EV charger can service 1 vehicle every hour, maybe 2 while a regular gas station can serve anywhere from 24 vehicles per hour up to 120 at a place like Buc-Ees.

The US Government has already warned Mexico not to offer Chinese Auto makers any incentives to build plants in its country also, since both the EU and NA are pushing back on the Chinese dumping product in both markets because of weak demand in China.

Placing all retail orders at the default priority code 19 means that all the orders are treated the same. As such, it means that the Dealer is doing nothing to manage and prioritize the order in which retail orders are scheduled. Forget that the order date will supposedly do the job. It's nonsense as the reality is that the scheduling system will schedule the order that's the easiest to schedule and with the fewest commodity or supply chain issues, etc. An F-450 Limited with priority code 19 since September 2023 will most likely never get scheduled. You're doing business with the wrong Dealer. It's their responsibility to manage their USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) but they have done nothing! The Dealer should have assigned a much lower priority code and/or contacted the Ford Zone Manager or Regional Scheduler long ago to have the order reprioritized at 01 or 02 to expedite scheduling. The Dealer has wasted your time.

True, but also, not everyone with an EV needs to use an EV charging station. In over 5k miles, we have used an EV charger once (well, twice if you count the freebie we got while we shopped). I've used a gas station twice in the past 10 days with my truck in only 250 miles (towing fuel economy stinks).

An AWD 5.0 with the front being powered by an electric motor would be cool and solve two problems. It would compensate for the low end torque that the 5.0 lacks and also provide the traction needed for hard launches while helping eliminate wheelhop.

I’ve just about reached the point where my a-plan will never be used for myself again.

What a silly design! So, the solution is to permanently affix it with Gorilla Glue? So, when the day comes that you need to remove the slide-on accelerator cover you then can't.
