All the Ford ads on TV are for conventional gasolene powered vehicles. 6/2023. The only place I see EV's evaluated is on Motorweek.

My oldest grand daughters boy freind is a Ford salesman. He told me that they can't keep a EV on the lot, and many are sold before they get to the lot. It's the ICE stuff that's not selling fast.

 

In my part of Canada, very quiet Ford Mustang electric cars and SUVs are commonly seen on the streets but no ads on TV.

 

Exactly!
If the EVs are selling quickly on their own, there is no need to advertise them.

 

Tesla is only now beginning to talk about advertising. As long as you're constrained by production, there's not much point to advertising and padding your order backlog.

 

I use a DVR so I don't see a lot of commercials, but during the live TV that I do watch, I have seen plenty of Ads for the Lightning.

 

The last time I was at the Ford dealer (3/2023), the head man said that all the EV'S that they have sold have been returned.

 

I'm in UK.
On road , I can't remember a drive where I have not seen EV cars ,over here , ev have a green badge on the number plate so easy to distinguish .

I see three Teslas every morning on my commute to work.
Why can't someone make a nice-looking electric saloon car?
Fuel consumption is directly proportional to height - I don't want a tall car as I don't want to pay 50% extra for the electricity it uses.

That unverifiable claim is in start contrast to everything else that is out there.

There's Teslas and Bolts and Leaves all over the place here. I even saw a Rivian SUV going down the highway. Yet I saw a stat that only 40% of potential new car buyers would consider an EV for their next purchase. (There's also at least one hydrogen-powered Mirai; I've seen it parked, and the nearest gas station has a pump for hydrogen. So far the filling station hasn't exploded, but it's a safe distance over a hill from me.)

 

do you trust what a car sales person tells you ?
