Had to share this one. Yes, I've been on jobs where management had hired just a bunch of warm bodies and then told me to "Fix it."

Even just as a concept that just doesn't work as an EV where CdA matters. Aside from that the lines are simply childish.

We all have to be careful about the "It was better back then" frame of mind. Those rose-tinted memories of a time that never was are at the root of MAGA.
The Lucid Air Sapphire hyper-sport sedan will begin sales in Europe early next year. It has been seen on industry testing days lapping at the NΓΌrburgring with Misha Charoudin and (rumored to be) Ben Collins at the wheel.

That's the whole point of the constant noise. Overwhelm the public sphere with so many constant and contradictory inputs and history disappears.

It's easy to be snarky but manufacturing new vehicles is costly and time consuming. Ford was in early w/ the Lightning pickup and Mach-E, started spending billions on new factories for new models when the market totally shifted. Ford's 'skunk works' now designing smaller/cheaper EV products.

Ford has been working on their own design for a similar size skateboard and various vehicles based on that. I'd rather see them working with Lucid's new efficient mid-size Atlas platform under development now and available to OEMs.
