Unending EV Disaster:

"Profits at the German auto giant Mercedes plunged on Friday as sales of its slick new range of electric
vehicles (EVs) went into freefall. Porsche abandoned its sales targets for battery-powered cars amid waning
demand from customers.

Ford is losing nearly $50,000 (£39,000) on every EV it sells, while Tesla's profits dropped 45pc. Meanwhile,
battery manufacturers such as Germany's Varta are getting wiped out. Over the last few days, it has become
clear that the EV industry is on the brink of collapse.

Hundreds of billions of euros, dollars and pounds have been pumped into this industry by political leaders
and the subsidy junkies that surround them - and it is surely time they were held to account for the vast
quantities of taxpayer cash that has been wasted."

Both Ford dealers near where I live have lots filled with Mustang Mach-E cars.
Apparently they can't give them away.

I was struggling on whether to include Ford in this, because of those mustangs, and this:

I saw this and stopped. Little did I realize, it was a 2 year old story:

NEWS: Ford announced Wednesday that the company has produced its 150,000th Mustang Mach-E since starting
production nearly two years ago.

As the company scales EV production, almost all of Mustang Mach-E's growth to date is coming from customers
replacing ICE vehicles.

Thanks for letting me know that they're not selling.

=====

Ford Motor company is in crisis:

"The company will now cut the share of its total capital spending dedicated to EVs from 40% to 30%, and take
a writedown of at least $400 million on manufacturing hardware it already built."

Cars aren't selling. Period. They managed to hide an economic
collapse in plain sight!

Ford was selling like 1 million F Series pickups a year. They
have sold fewer than 400k this year so far. Chrysler is down
to a single car, and they're talking about ending the name
entirely. The new Dodge Hornet has a what, two year supply on
the lots? Buick is supposed to go belly up:

https://finance.alot.com/business/automotive-companies-on-the-brink-of-bankruptcy--20599

Mostly the auto makers just don't give a fuck. They refuse to
sell the cars people want, and even though costs are plummeting
the prices are obscene.

I've said since before 2020: EVs do one thing and one thing
only, and that's price people out of cars.

This is it. This is "The Future" Obama planned for when he
ordered over 100,000 American into the unemployment lines, forcing
the closings of independent auto dealerships.

Google it. This was like 14 years ago! In plain sight, and splayed
across the headlines, our treasonous "Leaders" had already decided
that the worthless "Bottom" 80% wouldn't be able to own cars, that
cars were too good for us...

And now it's here. The future they never hid from us is here.

True.
People don't have the money and are unsure of the EV vs ICE marketing and long term support.

They are disposable cars. Where I live certain models are impossible to insure due to high cost of
repair and parts.
The only ones I see locally are mostly Tesla.

Masquerade control of the masses behind a green new deal and the sheep will gladly sacrifice and

That constitutes a DEATH THREAT against a former President, Rudey:


https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/871
18 U.S. Code § 871 - Threats against President and successors to the
Presidency
U.S. Code
Notes
prev | next
(a)Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail
or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any
letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any
threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon
the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice
President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office
of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or
knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the

shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years,
or both.
(b)The terms “President-elect” and “Vice President-elect” as used in
this section shall mean such persons as are the apparent successful
candidates for the offices of President and Vice President,
respectively, as ascertained from the results of the general elections
held to determine the electors of President and Vice President in
accordance with title 3, United States Code, sections 1 and 2. The
phrase “other officer next in the order of succession to the office of
President” as used in this section shall mean the person next in the
order of succession to act as President in accordance with title 3,
United States Code, sections 19 and 20.

Service Protectees
The Counterterrorism Section of the National Security Division has
supervisory authority over 18 U.S.C. §§ 871 and 879 cases. As great
caution must be taken in matters relating to the security of the persons
protected by 18 U.S.C. § 871, United States Attorneys are encouraged to
consult with the Counterterrorism Section (CTS) of the National Security
Division when they have doubts on the prosecutive merit of a case. For
the same reason, dismissal of complaints under 18 U.S.C. § 871, when the
defendant is in custody under the Mental Incompetency Statutes (18
U.S.C. §§ 4244, 4246), requires approval from CTS. In other cases,
United States Attorneys must consult prior to dismissing a count
involving, or entering into any sentence commitment or other case
settlement involving a § 871 charge.


https://www.secretservice.gov/newsroom/releases/2024/01/phoenix-man-arrested-making-online-death-threats-against-president-and

PHOENIX –David Michael Hanson, 41, of Phoenix, was arrested on Wednesday
for making online threats against the President and Vice-President.
Hanson was charged by Federal criminal complaint on Tuesday with five
counts of Threats Against the President and Successors to the Presidency
and five counts of Interstate Communication of Threats.

The complaint alleges that in November and December of 2023, while
living in Arizona, Hanson used a social media platform to post threats
to murder the President and Vice President of the United States. On
November 19, 2023, Hanson posted online a series of threatening
statements including one that stated, “#joeAndKamala I’m asking you to
resign on Monday your alternative is death brutally murdered.” After the
U.S. Secret Service spoke to Hanson and warned him that it was a Federal
crime to post such threats, on December 23, 2023, Hanson posted another
series of similar threats aimed at the President and Vice-President.

Each count of Threats Against the President and Successors to the
Presidency carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine of
up to $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release. Each count
of Interstate Communication of Threats carries a maximum sentence of
five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to three years of
supervised release.

A complaint is simply a method by which a person is charged with
criminal activity and raises no inference of guilt. An individual is
presumed innocent until evidence is presented to a jury that establishes
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The United States Secret Service is conducting the investigation in this
case. The United States Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, is
handling the prosecution.
