Scotty, those electric bikes that go faster than 15mph in NY State are required to be registered and insured! Operators may also be required to carry a motorcycle endorsement on their Drivers license.
GM and FORD is all we have left. :(
Or Trucks.

@@smithbry2000 For a frikkin half ton pickup
Yeah Yeah, people are still buying them,
They need to stop stealing from the ICE véhiculas and see what happens when they let the EV’s survive on their own, like these illegals, survive on their own.
Ford needs to go back to making affordable and reliable cars again.
How long as it been?😅
Not happening
I agree.
They’re trying to make their vehicles into subscriptions, where you need to pay them for a new vehicle every 2 years when your vehicle wears out
The first mistake was putting 4 and V-6 cylinder turbo engines in everything.
Maybe if Ford didn't suddenly jack the starting price up on their trucks by $20,000 they might actually be selling more.
But they are loosing $132,000 per sale. How can they lost $152,000 per sale. They need monet for their second gen ev witch will have reduced parts, an an optimized platform exclusevely for ev.
Seriously though. A half ton truck costs almost 100k…wasn’t that like half a house price not long ago?
It isn't just the price of the vehicle but the cost of insurance which will require full coverage and that begins to get pricy as well!
They didn’t base model is 36k

It's not entirely Fords fault, the EPA has a lot to do with quality failing because of the EPAs too restrictive rules and controls. But yes, Ford certainly isn't thinking about affordability for the masses.
@@brandonsheffield9873 The stupid government forced all the manufacturers to gear up to switch to mostly EV's...that aren't selling and Ford said it lost $35,000 on every EV it managed to sell even at MSRP. Latest quarter numbers show the EV branch losing over a billion $$$. They were trying to make up the losses on the vehicles that DID sell...like F-150...but they're killing the 'Golden Goose'.

Never trust a person who's job is to separate you from your money.

10k isnt much, maybe 1 mill
Get the government out of auto manufacturing and prices will come down.
The shareholders have been too cheap with engineering, and governments like Japan actually subsidize their auto industry while the U.S. subsidizes oil?
I entered WyoTech with a dream of becoming a general motors mechanic, maybe working in my uncles dealership in Oroville.
I graduated WyoTech wanting to own my own shop.
Because while in WyoTech I learned GM was not general motors, but now stands for government motors.
Watch the documentary who killed the electric car.
As a teenager and into my twenties I would have never owned a Ford.
I'm sitting in my F-250 right now. Dodge Dakota is the only vehicle i liked more, but that's only because gas mileage.
It's not the manufacturers, it's the dealers. The highest value dealership in the US makes more profit than Subaru, the dealerships are just middlemen protected by the law

When single taillights cost over $3k to replace on the upscale Ford Lightnings you better look out!!!!
That doesn't include labor.
Whole market a scam only real company i find that isnt they call a scam you cant make this clownshow nightmares up
No different then a Camry or Accord. LED headlihgts with seelf leveeling etc are expeensive, it has nothing to do with the fact its an EV.
@@farts6499 🤣🤣🤣
@@farts6499 Big difference....the self leveling headlights are no where close to the cost of one taillight with the sensors in them....$2200 dollars EACH for ford lightning...and the rest is labor and taxes to install for grand total of $3000 per side.....They are $1600 each used on Ebay....parts on EVs are ridiculously expensive...so much so that they total out EVs out much more often due to parts costs/availability....a large part of why they cost so much to insure....not saying parts on other cars/trucks arent expensive but they hardly ever exceed whats EV parts cost....why is hertz and other car rentals downsizing their fleets?...MAINTENANCE COSTS is a huge issue for them on these things...
After decades of buying Fords…. And decades of crap quality/service and faulty repair….. switched to Toyota…..
Us too... Ford and Chrysler are junk. 6 generations of our extended family all switched to Toyota and Honda and spend less time in the service drive. Screw the domestics. Follow what Toyota is doing.. hybrids are the SMART thing to have, not electric only. They are smart.
Same here.
Why did it take you so many tries to learn the lesson
Smart man.
👍👍
I would NEVER buy a vehicle for more than $40,000 (unless it went 200 mph)
So you not only spend $65000 you also spend 14 miles per gallon of gas... Wow what a deal....
We should go back to normalizing $25k cars.
Lots of ev are below $40,000, and prices will become even lower with the new battweries with 27% more energy density. manufacturer can decide iabout having the same range with less battery (and less weight) or increase the range by 27% more without any modification to their ev..
Dealer: it won't go 200 but the speed this baby will drain ur account will make ur head spin!!!! Whata deal right!
Good basic, pencil and paper, Math! Thank you! 🩷🇺🇸🩷
@@EnriqueThielehow much would it cost to replace a battery? I heard it costs an arm and a leg to replace a tesla battery. What about climates with extreme cold? How can i get my electric vehicle started when its -35 outside?
If Ford (or any other manufacturer) wants to make a pile of cash all they need to do is produce a bare bones pickup truck. When I say bare bones I mean exactly that. Standard model is manual EVERYTHING from the windows to the transmission, single cab, rear wheel drive, 8ft bed. The only "fancy" feature included on the base model should be A/C. Headlghts, tail lights, and marker lights should be the bog-standard tech possible. Everything else should be optional extras.
The only thing I disagree is with the single cab idea, Families buy space, and they don't always care about towing. Most people aren't going camping.
That was the platform on the early models. Now they base it on "What the people want." When it's all you can buy, if you want a new vehicle, what do you do?
My first car was a 1964 Falcon Futura. I sure do miss that car. Simple six cylinder. Plenty of room to work on it. Factory four speed with after market a/c. Two- door hard top.
Im a falcon aficionado....first car my dad ever rented for a family trip ......he got a ticket for running a red light around six in the morning in Illinois .....near oil wells .....great memories 🎉🎉🎉
I just hope that the "Mustang" Mach-e disaster won't bring the good old original V8 Mustang GT to it's grave too... using Mustang name to sell those golf cart was an horrible decision.
Why the "Big Three" do that to some of their legendary models is beyond me.
*"ReaL Mustang"* People hate the MACH-E.
Another thing that "Back Fired" on Ford.
I drive a Mustang the E is ugly.
They sold 164 of those here in Australia so far this year.
No electric golf carts
Automakers need to go back to making reliable, quality vehicles and stop with the computerization of vehicles.
Cramming more computing components into the vehicles is part of what has driven the prices up along with inflation and good old-fashioned greed.
Blame epa. Write your congressman and senator 😅
@@JKHTX Toyota makes reliable vehicles just fine. Put the blame where it belongs instead whining about the dreaded government.

I would love to be able to buy a vehicle without all the electronics. They make it harder to troubleshoot and repair when something needs replaced. Plus, it's more expensive.
Get rid of the turbos and offer manual transmissions in all vehicles.
Right
Because that will surely build sales with the majority of people who can't drive a manual trans car (or truck).
Manual is dead. I daily drive a manual fwiw

We are in 25 year in the century and flying cars are basically out of the picture. We just going backwards. I may as well keep my 1990s volvo wagon forever.

People can't drive without hitting things. If they were in flying cars there would be cars falling out of the sky every five minutes.
@@user-uy9gp3rm7e Cars have gotten a lot safer but drivers have gotten a lot worse.
The other day I saw a blonde in a big SUV weaving on the interstate and waving her hand out the window. I thought maybe she was in trouble so I pulled alongside. No problems just drying her nail polish at almost 70 mph. I don't know whether she was a natural blonde but I suspect so.
I literally just saw a news story touting a new flying car a couple of days ago. It was very cool looking. Problem was it was basically a sports car with wings and an airplane type tail. So, it was basically a frigging small airplane with a car shaped fuselage, that would take up at least 4 traffic lanes because of the wings and took off and landed like an airplane, because it was an AIRPLANE!
Yay 90's Volvo wagon 🥳
I agree with your wife Scotty those electric Mustangs are uglier than ugly keep up the good work old man
They should have stopped with the '67's. Done and done.

Hey....Ford said their Mach-E sales went up by almost 60% with the price cuts! But what that really means is that instead of selling 2 last quarter they sold 4. Statistics can be made to lie you know.
That would be 100%, not 60%.

This reminds me of the situation with Toyota Prius Primes in 2017-2019. No one wanted them... or knew they existed. I bought one brand new for $22.3k + TTL. It also got the $4.5k federal EV tax credit... making it cheaper than a Corolla. No one cared, no one wanted them.

All auto makers need to realize that many people can't afford 95% of the vehicles they make. They need to focus on more affordable and reliable vehicles that everyone can afford to buy. They should pay attention to how many 2022, and 2023 vehicles are still on the lots unsold. I have been looking for a decent used truck for several years, I might have thought about a new truck if they were more affordable. I have a chunk of money to put down on one but the payments will be more than my mortgage, and I already know that they will not last long before needing some type of repairs. Plus in the northeast there's a good chance of it rotting out about the same time you are making the last payment on it. I was hoping one of them would actually come through on the low cost truck, oh I mean a low cost truck available in the USA. Not just other places. The new ford, Fixing Our Recalls Daily!
I take the same stance as Charlton Heston here about my older Toyota... they can pry it from... Ok you get it. Ford is way too expensive now. I know someone who paid over 90k for a truck. I've owned homes that cost less, and not that long ago.
Scotty is not only my favorite mechanic he’s now my favorite economist. I think you are spot on Sir.
I love how the EV owners brag about not needing to get an oil change. Remind me how great that is when you replace your $20k battery! How many oil changes can I get for that money?!
Lol what a silly statement. As if you're going to replace the battery after 10K miles.. A Tesla Model 3 battery costs $10K + $3K labor. How much does a brand new Toyota Camry engine assembly cost? The cost of a battery is falling as production scale increases, and with new battery tech like Sodium Ion batteries, it's game over for gasoline engines, once that cost curve meets, it's bye bye.
@@igotanimac1
No, Tesla's are a minimum of 22,000 USD to replace the battery pack not including labor.

Tesla's plummeting stock price should tell you that. They will be out of business soon because the BEV is being rejected!!
The Ford Lightning has a 1000x charge warranty or 8 years. That’s 330k miles. I guess your gas guzzler can do that warranty too? Gas is not infinite. Solar is and will get better so will batteries. No Sun No Us.
Old batteries las 300,000 miles. LFP last 500,000 miles plus. New batteries (installed during 2025) last 1,000,000 miles. That is 66 years. By the way those batteries will never be replaced since the cost og EV in 6 more yars will be around $5,000.
New F150s are way over priced 60-75k , had to get used one that was more in my price range of under 30k. Especially if you want Lariat class with Good features, it's at least 70k.👎 Then 90k-100k for electric ones ( which only go like 300 miles or less) They've gone nuts..
No one wanting to pay 70k for a for a basic pickup truck when they can’t even buy food and pay normal bills

@@connor_flanigan That's nothing. The first few years of GM's new-for-1988 GMT400 pickups had terrible transmission issues, particularly if you towed trailers even occasionally.

Thank you Scotty for what you do. I have learned a ton of valuable information from watching you!!!
I've lived in Houston almost 40 years. I've can only think of a handful or more that conditions were right for hail or severe enough to cause damage.
The Beijing Auto show just happened...and nearly all the vehicles in it was EVs, what is China doing that is not being done in the USA?
Scamming. China doesnt even want those scams theyd rather have a tesla dude and they cant afford them and we shouldnt buy them either they suck
Chinese government subsidies up the wazoo
Mining and processing/producing coal like crazy because it's plentiful and the low-price option.
uighers
Thee Chinese don't have an opposition paarty who are working 24/7 to demonize EVs.
2k... send the link Scotty
Always enjoy your rant on the subject! Especially when it is about truth!👍👍
Still trucking along in my base model 2004 Toyota Tacoma. Best and most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. Nothing power, all manual locks and windows. Manual transmission, all stock with no problems. Just basic maintenance. We need to bring these types of vehicles back.
I miss some of the Mercury models. Just saying…
I think by law e-bikes can go up to 28 mph for class 3. Over that it might have to licensed as a electric motorcycle.
Get in a fender bender in a regular car is like several grand. Got rear ended, car still drivable, just the trunk was damaged but still functional, insurance wrote off a 4 year old sedan.
They stopped shipping Cadillac's out of Tennessee...We ordered a 2024 XT5 in November 2023. We put down a deposit, they finished building and inspecting in January 2024...now its May 2024...still not left the plant in Tennessee. no reason given for holding it
This is not surprising. Ford's EcoBoost engines are crap, they are money pits and cost a fortune to repair !
10-speed automatic only makes it worse
The 2.0L Ecoboost and 2.3L are good engines. The V6 twin turbos are where it starts getting expensive and tons of piping etc. Naturally aspirated is best for a daily driver. Simplicity is key
Democrat’s pressure car manufacturers to create this useless crap 💩
@@kclefthanded427 the old Ford 6 speed used in the F-150 were the best.
Have they added port injectors yet to the EcoBoost?
Checked the radio waves frequency on a tesla last night. It is as loud as my 50 inch TV - but it's all around you! Good luck with your tumor operations!
We got a hail storm about three weeks ago in Bellville Texas, just outside of Houston. Tennis ball size hail with a tornado throwing them sideways through houses, AND downward through roofs. Covered the roads in a solid layer of ice in a minute or less. Went from a warm sunny day to a winter wonderland in about 15 minutes. Then came the ground temperature variation and the thick fog. So thick I couldn't see the end of my hood. With all the chemicals dumped into landfills, I don't think THAT property is worth much.
Ford needs a better ceo than what they got now
Ford needs a better everything
@@mikefoehr235 yes
Ford clearly hired a DEI CEO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
CEO has no common sense at all.
They are giving them away & I still don't want one😂
Someone quoted when we were saying we could go back to the coal powered steam car at this point and some guy actually converted his jeep to run on coal and steam i said sweet almighty it look so expensive i wonder what a horse costs
I have a 2010 Ford sport Trac my code reader came up solenoid A B & C could it be the alternator?? Also if I change the transmission fluid and filter will that possibly be a quick fix if it's pertaining to the transmission?
Still have my 2005 Ford F-350 FX-4, Lariet Diesel Dually, 140k miles still looks like new!! originally 32,500. I will not replace it with the new one at $105,000.00.
If Ford giving away trucks. I want a king ranch f150 , a ford f150 raptor and a convertible Shelby mustang , and raptor bronco. Thank you Scottie , I’ll be waiting for my vehicles .
I agree with you except for the Bronco
Still wouldn't take one !!
I wanted to buy a raptor from the dealership. It only had 56 thousand miles on it. 2020. Fully loaded. Can you believe they still wanted 75 thousand dollars for it. The salesman told me. The truck has been sitting on the lot. For 3 years now. I offered 50 thousand cash money. He told NO !!.
@@harveyhankerson8359I don't believe you
@@modus_operandi2508 u can sell it or have or have it crushed recycled and get money for the steel 😂
I've been living in the Tomball/Houston border area for a number of years. I don't recall the last time we had hail. Maybe in other parts of Houston. IDK.
Probably melted before you went out side.
Still driving my ford fiesta 2019 love the gas mileage and love the reliability
I lived in Houston for 6 years and never seen any hail. I think solar panels are a good idea for that area considering how sunny it is almost all the time.
Where can I get one then??
This guy talks a million miles an hour, but he never really talks about anything the video describes
The only reason someone would rent an EV is so they can try one.
Here in Australia they sold 164 Mustang Mach-Es this year.👍
I just got a new 2023 explorer for $15k off sticker. Great deals to be had on the leftover 23 and 22 models. And there are tons of them out there.
I miss my dads 1991 ford f150 extended cab i6 5 speed manual. dual fuel tanks. :(
A 240 acre solar field🤣, what good is that? They built a 5000 acre one in my town, and that's only good for about 1/3 of the houses in town, and Houston is so much bigger than my town.
It is a start.
Solar is the best way to have redundancy. We shouldn't rely on grid power 100%
The price of a new car is out of reach for a lot of people. Since 2012 the cars that I have purchased were certified used Honda's and Toyota's. I can't bring myself to pay what they are asking for them new and I drive to much for leasing to be an option for me.
6 mil subs! omg you're making huge bank dude, i remember when you started this channel. Good job.
I have had 3 F150's. They were all great trucks.
I have had ford's since 1990 ,I love them,,trade them in at 200k miles
I'm a retired truck driver
Everybody wants things yesterday
Everything's got to be on time
Which I think causes more deaths on the highway by people trying to get somewhere fast
we got microwaves to cook our food faster and yet we don't think it's fast enough now
I don't know why everything's got to be so tight schedule build a house in 2 weeks instead of a month to get it right the first time
Since we're in overdrive on everything butt people want to be in warp drive because what we got now I ain't fast enough including the the microwave
Instead of making things faster now we got to step back on technology because now we have to stop and wait a while to charge our vehicles
I don't see people wanting that since they want things so fast
I’m in Hawaiian time. If can, then can do. If cannot do, then cannot now. Always have tomorrow.
@@Michael-yi4mc There's Greenwich mean time, Eastern standard time, daylight savings time and Pacific not too specific time.
Ya....and drive your semi like a maniac to get your miles on your elog....get off the road early even if you give up an hours drive time because you found a place to park and can't take a chance of finding another one
@@jim-zx7gz yeah I know what you mean they're always tell you to pull over if you get sleepy well I did that on a get off ramp what time the time but the police are run you off and I ask the office if I can have his name in badge number he asked me why
Because my company and my insurance would want to know why was i driving when I was still sleepy and it's not time for me to drive yet now
I started driving throughout the night instead of the day more peaceful less traffic going through towns
Out west they closed the rest areas down to force us to go to truck stops I guess if we go in and use the restroom and by doing so hoping will see all the stuff they got for sale and hope we buy more junk food
Is that Michigan international speedway Brooklyn, Michigan ? Come June when Nascar is in town it's going to be rough finding a parking spot .That's what the neighbors that live close to the track are saying.
Hey Scott I bought a use car with an extended warranty but now it's ran out they added it to the price of the payment the payment was 300 originally but with warranty it came to 410 if the warranty is over my payment should go back to 300 rite? There charging me the 410 still any suggestions?
Hindsight being 20/20, Ford should have made the Lightning a hybrid instead of 100% BEV.
They have a hybrid. That’s what the power boost is.
A diesel hybrid?
I'll take a 2023 F-150/Platinum. I'll even give ya 30k if it's a 5.0
Really great advice. Scotty is amazing.
My idea for the toyota tundra and tacoma would be to do a version that's a hybrid that the electric motors drive the front wheels and the V8 drives the back wheels. You can even call it an all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. It would just be two different engines driving the wheels. Still get great city mileage but still have the power of the V8 when you need to tow. Plus if you put in a LiFePo4 battery it can run for 20 years without being replaced.
The mustang GT used to be the blue collars vehicle of choice now it’s completely out priced for my many
I wonder if VW is doing the same thing. No thanks. I'll take care of my older truck/car and stay away from the new ones.
If at some point you start keeping track of your car expenses, you will notice how much of your money was wasted on a dead end technology called ICE car.
Hey Scotty, correction in the Hundy Ionic the battery cost $61,0000 Canadian to replace the "damaged" battery LOL
i got the 2022 corolla cross early and broke my cardinal rule of never buying a first year production vehicle but, its built in the new usa plant and after 3 years in on my msrp purchase, ive spent less then 500 in service. couple issues nothing major, so far its got 40k miles and a broken center console button. needs front rotors and brake pads though. i run michelin cross climates 2s its AWD. those tires are amazing. yea i traded in my corvette z06 for a corolla. so what at least i dont have to buy 10k carbon brake rotors and random failing parts.
