    Ford plug in hybrids have just had a safety recall and they’re not to be charged due to a battery fault and fire risk.

    Don’t worry too much with fords track record with recalls you’ll be able to sell them again by Q1 2026.

    Isn’t it a physical fault with the batteries that they are planning on putting a software plaster fix on? <laugh>

    Smartest meter that we had was one where the glass was loose in the front and if you inadvertently leant something against it in the cupboard it pressed on the wheel and the wheel wouldn’t go round!

    I miss that electric meter!

    Tesla will come back, once the public temper tantrums subside.

    The media isn't known for accuracy. While there are some subsidies (monies paid from public funds), some of what they tally are tax credits (monies not paid into public funds), and contracts (monies paid from public funds for services rendered). All three can be judged on their merits but they are not the same thing.

    In the US perhaps, but not in Europe (or Canada, or China, or Mexico), I don’t think the share price has collapsed anywhere near enough yet.

    The new Y model is out soon. The sales of this will determine the rebound.. or not.

    Tesla have the advantage that if sales go badly, they can offer free charging via the network.
