I actually like those guys. Maybe it's that Canadian/Brit humor hitting a nerve?

 

You didn't pay for my credit. The credit is against my own taxes and it isn't refundable, so the only tax dollars I ever could get back are my own.

Is the credit for higher earners fair? Arguably no, but I don't make the rules. I wouldn't qualify on any other model year due to MSRP caps and income limits so 2022 was a one time exception. But as someone who has had federal and state tax liabilities in one tax year exceed well over half a million dollars, you're not going to make me feel bad about sneaking a one time $7500 benefit. And you're welcome for whatever it was that my tax dollars did for you.

As to the rest of the post, you're posting dated info. As I have posted a few times today, the devil is in the detail. Sales in Q3 were indeed soft, due to parts shortages, recalls and a six week - or half a quarter - shutdown for factory retooling.

Turning to Q4, however:

Monthly sales record was set in Oct 2023, up 52% on the prior year, and then another new monthly sales record was set in November 2023, up 100% from the prior year.

That's it, only a half million dollars? You poor thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

Yeah, nobody paid for our $7,500 tax credits lol, that’s not how tax credits work.

 

People are under the assumption that the government hands over a check for $7500. Nope. Doesn't work like that

 

Exactly. No tax liability, no tax credit.

 

Elon's failures are hidden? LMAO.
Falcon 9 is largely his design. He's likely the premiere rocket scientist alive. He slept on the factory floor because he never left the factory.

 

Hidden was the wrong word. His wealth keeps them from being obvious.

With less wealth for instance, Twitter would have ruined him.

 

90% bombast 10% content it gets old.

 

Your taxes did nothing for me, they likely went to the same crap ours did. Federal at least, since there's not an income tax here.

So do you agree an F150 Lighting is basically the most significant vehicle of all time? Why if so? If there's gonna be an EV vehicle that carries that title, it's gonna be a Tesla (Model S).

 

I never made that claim, so it really doesn't matter whether I do or don't. But nor did the article that seems to have gotten you so upset. All it's saying is that an electrified version of the best selling vehicle in America is a big deal. Which it is, and was.

 

Look at the vehicles rolling coal it's safe to say most of that demo is not ready for an EV truck. It is a curious turn of events that the most tech heavy vehicle ended up being a truck.

 

Upset??? Lol. It's just that ridiculous I find it entertaining-- I quoted the article you can read for yourself.

They massively overshot on this one. It would be a big deal if the demand for these were high. It's not. F-150 doesn't need to be electric to impress, I absolutely loved that Ecoboost 3.5 F-150 King Ranch I had on vacation for 10 days. Brand new had 3500 miles on it.

If yours works for you, good. But for normal truck duty at least around here, pretty useless. Sales reflect it. These Fords are really sensitive to cold weather and it gets cold here.

As for being so wealthy, good for you. I don't hate on rich people unlike so many, more power to you/them.

 

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing and thought maybe if he was more normal he wouldn’t be so successful. I also don’t think he is divisive, he just says what he thinks. Just because other people don’t speak their mind doesn’t mean they aren’t divisive, it’s just not in your face.

 

I love Throttle House’s antics but I’m a simpleton. I also like Carwow and Jason Carissa/Hagerty. More about entertainment for me.
