    Ford Retreats from Russia

      .... more cuts for Ford.

    Ford will exit Russia's passenger car market and focus solely on the light commercial vehicle market says a report from Bloomberg.  Alligned with those moves, Ford will cease production in the country at two vehicle assembly plants.  Those plants will close by the end of June 2019.  Ford produces the Focus, Mondeo, Fiesta, and Ecosport in Russia.

    These cuts will cause significant job losses for Russia.  This move comes after Ford announced as many as 6,000 job cuts in Germany and the UK  and cut jobs at a transmission factory in France. 

    Honda, Nissan, and BMW have all recently announced cuts or closures in European operations.

      Very interesting read and clearly Tesla is not up to par with the Chinese. Testing was done in Mongolia with -20 temps so the batteries took a major hit, Tesla was around low 30% range with a Tesla 3 RWD having 48% over their normal range where Chinese were around 50% over their normal range. Clearly, Tesla needs to update to at least 800V system and put some engineering into their battery packs. Sadly no Korean EVs were in the test mix. The Newest Mercedes CLA was and really took a hit for being the newest 800V system, sad that the battery system sucks so bad. 67 EVs Were Range-Tested In Sub-Zero Conditions. Here's Where The Teslas Ranked Story is based on this posted YouTube video.   This cracks me up, so much great Karma to these crooks, amazing that one of them has a CyberTruck and was putting it in the frunk when it blew up.

      Really hope he has to sit in prison.   OUCH - I truly believe that the U.S. will be like China in 3 to 5 years and EREV will have a short life. Everybody's Betting On Extended-Range EVs. This Could Make Them Obsolete Instead

      Proof that what GM is doing here is bad for America, Death of manufacturing, the support of supply train and that Idiot47 has not understood or figured out. Tariff threats clearly are a FAILURE for America.

      WOW, Boeing moving manufacturing to Canada. Hope this gives him a heart attack and goes 6 ft under.   WOW, Idiot47 world is collapsing and I hope he takes a dirt nap.   Further proof that Idiot47 is clueless in how to run a business let alone a country.
