While I want BEVs to succeed, I’m also extremely objective and look beyond obvious “facts”.  Without proper context, facts alone can be misleading in my opinion.   You are correct that total BEV sales are increasing, but if most are sold at a loss, it means very little, right?  Long term that would not be sustainable.  We don’t really know to what degree companies like Ford, GM, Hyundai, VW, etc. are subsidizing their BEVs in order to increase sales volume.  We can assume most of these sales are probably not presently profitable IMO.   A better indicator or gauge of present-day BEV viability IMO are manufacturers that only build battery electric vehicles because they can not subsidize costs with other profits or investments as easily.  When I look at Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, etc., the picture is not quite as bright; not to mention other BEV manufacturers or startups that have failed or will soon.  We only have data for one month of sales without tax credits, so it will be interesting to see what happens with manufacturers that can’t simply fund BEVs with profits generated from selling ICEV and HEV.   I know profitable BEVs can be designed and manufactured but I’m not sure what percentage of population would buy such vehicles when they are based on present technologies.  Wild guess is that at present that number is under 10% if BEVs are not subsidized and must sell at a profit.

Everybody around here are up about 20¢/gal from last Thursday for 87 E-10 (see post above) and 91 E-0 is its usual chaos.

The mounting hole it threads into is stripped out - either tap it a size larger or slip a nut behind it if it is open on the other end and with a longer bolt, tighten it up.

A "three year delay" on T-3 means it will be scrapped and replaced with something that uses tech from CE1 as an electrical foundation.....

Here's a good Sunday morning read: https://www.hagerty.com/media/automotive-history/116-years-before-the-mach-e-henry-ford-built-this-barebones-battery-powered-model-t/  Below: great grandson of the Mustang Mach-e: 1914 Henry Ford prototype electric vehicle Fred Allison, electrical engineer who designed the car's electric motor is at the tiller.:

Prime example of ignoring facts.  Ford hasn’t dropped Mach E or Lightning and they’re bringing out at least 3 new EVs.  Other mfrs are bringing out new EVs and EV sales are still increasing year after year.

So in other words a Mach-E? 

Truth of the matter was turning KTP over to Super Duty production greatly increased Ford's overall F series production capacity in class 1 through 5.  Sales increased substantially.  

Umm, no. Well, CT might, but most states use objective measurements of the pavement. I actually know a little bit about this subject…

Long Before The Chevy Bolt, GM Built An Electric Egg On Wheels   Interesting and entertaining short article that highlights how long GM has been working on BEVs, in this case much before EV1.  The featured miniature car concept looks a lot like an electrified BMW Isetta knockoff, at least in principle.  GM combined the Isetta’s front door with a canopy to make it look cooler, though I’m not sure if easier to enter and exit without banging your head.   BEVs sure have come a long ways in last 55 years or so.  Too bad engineers of that time did not have lithium batteries to work with. https://www.carscoops.com/2025/11/the-2027-chevy-bolt-could-do-with-some-of-the-gm-512es-pac-man-weirdness/     P.S. — Before some of you get defensive, yes, I’m quite aware Ford had similar projects that date even further back.  I’ve posted pictures of incredibly tiny Ford BEVs before.
