Ford's aluminum supplier burnt down. They don't have enough aluminum to build the gas F-150 at current demand. They make more profit on the gas model than the EV model. Additionally, it is getting left behind in tech by GM and Tesla (though both with their own baggage). It charges slower and has a lower range than either of those. It is a FANTASTIC EV, but buyers need to be able to live with those limitations, and that's a hard sell when the Chevy dealer next door has a truck with the same size bed that goes twice as far and charges twice as fast. For someone like my mom who doesn't do road trips and could plug in every night, the F-150 EV would be the perfect replacement for her old old King Ranch.

They only make the EValanche, nothing Colorado size yet. Ford is going to make something Ranger/Maverick sized in electric with their new platform.

I didn't know that the Chevy was that much better. Would love a Colorado EV.

Good story, at the five minute mark watch Cody get a bike for free. That kid deserved that!

Rivian will probably be the only US auto maker to survive. I do like the current generation of Cadillac's, especially EV's, now.

Like he said, a LifeStyle bike for those that want to be seen with a Bronco bike on the street and not a really useful mountain bike. Ford FAILURE AGAIN! Maybe they should focus these funds on making their autos have less recalls and the EVs 800V superior products rather than followers. What a waste of money.

For your purposes, this would be more than enough. BUT it won't play most games because it's an ARM processor instead of an x86. That said, for all of your regular "office" type work, it will be snappier than anything else at this price point. And it has the 10-key. Don't get me wrong, it's a cheap laptop, but it will be a great performing cheap laptop. https://www.costco.com/p/-/lenovo-ideapad-slim-3x-153-touchscreen-copilot-pc-laptop-qualcomm-snapdragon-x-wuxga-1920x1200-windows-11-home-16gb-ram-1tb-ssd/4000379412?langId=-1

Over the last six years or so, I have slowly grown my Vinyl collection. This project was an effort to preserve my vinyl playing ways after the original 50 year amp gave out and I could not find a replacement anywhere on earth lol. Here's some other pics of the progress over the last week or so... After gutting it, I installed some wood slats. For the record, nothing was cut away from the cabinet itself. I steed away all the original components in case I ever come across another OEM amp for it. The only change to the cabinet itself was the paint and stain job. After that, I set did a little "switcharoo" with some old school Sony floor speakers that were put into storage due to a pair of blown passive woofers (top speakers in them were active woofers with the bottom being the passive woofers). I combined the working woofers into a single cabinet and cut out two holes on one end to install the mid and tweeter from "gutted" floor speaker cabinet. Then that was installed through the back of the console and it barely fit lol. Here's the rest of the work.

Sometimes, when the $25 1972 console stereo you bought four years ago finally dies, you have to change it up a bit. Before and after below.
