The last straw was his misinformed opinion on the EV industry, which is "very dear to me", as I'm a mammal and breathe air. I can't tolerate people spreading FUD on-line. (FUD = Fear Uncertainty and Doubt).
EliTheComputerGuy drives a Ford F150 truck and periodically pulls his Airstream trailer to various places in the US... even though his wife had cancer(s) ... he doesn't seem to care about health.
I doubt it was his decision, but he recently admitted that their next car will be electric... and he keeps insisting that it will be a small Ford... he goes on and on about how great Fords are ... which is COMPLETE BS!!!
First of all Ford doesn't make good products, nor EVs. Their leadership strongly opposes any innovation, unless it's about making crappier cars, saving them money, allowing dealerships to make more money on repairs...etc. This isn't a phenomenon just at Ford ... many non-silicon-valley companies (like ISPs) act the same way; their goal is to corner the market and milk their customers, without spending on R&D.
OK, enough about that guy and his twisted views ...
Ford is currently making (assembling) a few of the four types of vehicles and plans to launch a couple more next year, BUT they are not making their own motors nor battery packs, which are the most important parts of the EV and can make a break a product. Instead they are sourcing these very important components, which means they'll have the bare minimum specs with bare minimum quality, because Ford and the supplier have to make their share of profits on it. In contrast Tesla make their own batteries, motors and electronics for their cars, which means they can sell decently optimized cars with a respectable profit.
At the end of the day Ford will most likely be successful with their EVs, as they'll be a lot better than their ICE (internal combustion engine) cars, even if they put in the crappiest components from third party suppliers. On the other hand people may not want to settle for a Ford anymore, when they'll see the huge technology difference between a Tesla, Rivian, Workhorse ...etc. and Ford.
To date, large car makers haven't made EVs that match the 2012 Tesla Model S specs, but Tesla did! They recently upgraded the front motor and controller to improve efficiency by 5%. That efficiency gain (92% -> 97%) immediately increased the range to 370 miles and even reduced cost, which is just amazing.
In the meanwhile other EV makers are struggling to match Tesla Model 3 performance, which they kinda' did, at a much higher price, but can't compete in efficiency and range. I-Pace, AUDI E-Tron and others don't come close to Tesla Model X efficiency, which is a huge, heavy, 7-seater SUV.
