Musk may be intelligent but lacks wisdom or maybe it’s maturity. That stunt with chainsaws was the most idiotic and undignified thing I’ve ever seen a major company’s CEO do. Regardless of whether one believes the government must be reduced in size or not, acting like a fool who enjoys putting Americans out of work sent all the wrong messages. The behavior was insensitive and compassionless regardless of one’s political beliefs. Terminating people is often necessary, but should be done with respect in a dignified way.
Tesla should beat Ford to market with more affordable BEV, though Tesla’s version may not be an all-new car. Many analysts speculate it will mostly be a simplified and or decontented Model Y or 3. That’s not to say Ford won’t have a better electric car, or offer a more affordable price soon after.
Stock price is not an indication of a company’s fiscal health. Nor does a big fall impact the company’s bottom line.
Also, it’s still higher than a year ago so I don’t understand all the hand wringing. I just consider this an overdue market correction.
The SVT Ranger with supercharged 5.4L V8 is something else. Looks like there is space around engine for newer V8s that are narrower, whether Coyote or Godzilla. Obviously would have to be a DIY project.
HI Daniel Arguello and welcome to the Blue Oval Forums. I am not sure if you are referring to the switch that resets the fuel cutoff (i.e. after an accident etc.)? If yes, and you do not have your Owners Manual, I will download the PDF version of the 2010 Milan Owners Manual and look it up. Or you can download the PDF version of your Owners Manual yourself and find it: https://www.lincoln.com/support/
EDIT- I Googled "2010 Mercury Milan fuel shut off reset" and get the following (not sure how reliable/accurate it is): https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=2010+Mercury+Milan+fuiel+shutoof+reset
Get back to us and good luck.
It has been something to watch. Out of all the things that could derail the company, who would have thought it would be Musk's politics?
I suspect they'll weather the storm. Elon has an ego, and deep pockets.
They not only made the moronic decision to make their products political, but political in favor of the people who will never buy their products, at the expense of offending their core demographic.
I can tell you right now, Ford executives are jumping up and down high fiving over this. CE1 is almost certainly gonna beat Tesla to market with affordable EVs, allowing Ford to enter a segment in high demand right as Tesla owners are jumping ship left and right to other brands.
Will Tesla go out of business entirely? Hard to say, but I can see their stock going back to double digits a share if they don't make massive changes to repair their image.
If they look like they're gonna go under completely, someone should buy their supercharging network for pennies on the dollar, the one part of the company worth a damn.
