I Cancelled my Cybertruck for the F150 Lightning

[Old Pro]

If you compare the Ford to the Chevy, it is no contest. Chevy by a mile. C&D, R&T, and many more have done side-by-sides and the WT4 creams the Ford. More range, more room, etc. The Ford is a conversion of the existing F-150, the Chevy is a new EV from the ground up. GM makes its own batteries, Ford's are made by the Chinese. If anything will compete with the CT, it will be the E Silverado. Unfortunately, GM burned its cash horde during the strike and can no longer afford to build its new EV plant. But Tesla is not exactly machine gunning CT's out the door ...

On a recent RV trip to Yosemite, rode for several hours in a buddy's Chevy with some sort of a variable engine. Nice Truck. He said there had been some sort of issue with the engine at some point. Chevy didn't notify him of the issue, he discovered it on a long trip from San Diego and had to end up leaving it at a dealership away from home to have it addressed. Yosemite is beautiful!

Ok, so let me ask this question. What company(ies) do you do business with where you like everything that everyone in the company does and/or believes?

I’m going to assert that this is quite a bit about our not very limited visibility of all that surrounds EM, and how little visibility we have into most other companies and their leaders. There are people everywhere in every company with someone doing something you might not approve of. Are you ready to write them ALL off?

how may people know Ford was a Hitler fan ?

we are happy for your happiness, new Ford F150L buyer. glory to your journey!

also.... MORE CTs for the rest of us ( patient, value per $$$, "know what they want", radical tech people)...

I'm headed that way only b/c of Elon's erratic behavior and beliefs he spreads online. I have a LOW reso number. Too bad I can't sell it.

unbelievable. The msm does quite the damage.

How many people know that Ford sued the US government and won because the we bombed his automobile factories in Germany? (It’s a fact, look it up)

to be fair, others don't proactively attempt to make themselves pop super-stars

i think it's a little disingenuous to equate musk to every other corporate exec

plenty

type henry ford and elon musk in google, go to news articles, and there are literally dozens of recent articles drawing the parallels

It's true, Elon puts himself "out there" more than any other CEO. But anyone saying "I refuse to buy Tesla since Elon is a jerk" is under the mistaken impression that CEOs are wholesome folk that share their values.

If we're being honest musk would have taken the tesseract.

how is it mistaken, if what people are saying is that they have (A) a bare minimum requirement, and (B) any baseline consistency

people boycott target, walmart, Chick-fil-A, and any number of corporations whose business or management decisions they find antithetical with their bare minimum requirement of some baseline consistency with, if nothing else, decorum if not values



just as Musk can say what he wants, so can consumers

Lindberg also had some strange political views. It's best not to go too far down that road considering recent reporting?

Please cancel your orders if you guys are offended. We wouldn't want you to be sad. Also, I get to move up higher. Truck is super cool and I can't wait to get mine. Finally saw it in person yesterday.

So yes, I hope more people cancel to be honest.
