The Olinia Uno is a planned six-passenger car that can travel up to 125 kilometers (77 miles) on a single charge. It is expected to go on sale next summer for about 150,000 Mexican pesos or roughly $8,500, according to a press release.
The car is designed for urban settings and has a top speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour.
It’s a golf cart. But these have utility around Mexico city.
"We should not let them into our country,” Farley said during an appearance on Fox & Friends, according to Bloomberg. “Manufacturing is the heart and soul of our country, and for us to lose that to those exports would be devastating to our country.”
Ford CEO Jim Farley is so full of shit. Ford is making trucks in Mexico and Canada and no longer has lower cost options, just big stupid trucks with plastic engine oil pans.
I had to do a double-take. Holy crap you’re not kidding. Considering that it’s a feature of metal pans to deform (instead of cracking or breaking) when colliding with something, switching to a brittle material is just asinine. WTF, Ford?
Farley also told media there is a shortage of mechanics at car dealers making $120,000 a year. No flat rate Ford mechanic makes that.
Farley lies so much he should get into politics.
You can also find videos of Ford mechanics finding new vehicles with cobbled brackets because of parts shortages.
I mean, it’s not as bad as their timing belts running in oil
And despite known major issues, they just keep selling the bad designs. This is how they killed the Fiesta and Focus, once the number one selling cars. Every single had had repeated transmission failures.
Volkswagen has been doing that for a least a decade or more. I had a 2018 alltrack which had one. At least in that case there was another thick plastic skid plate covering it and other parts. The biggest PITA is the high probability of stripping the drain plug.
Yeah, nobody makes vehicles in the US or Canada that aren’t made in part in the US, Canada, and Mexico. That’s just the post NAFTA manufacturing environment. Labor heavy and high pollution components are made in Mexico while skilled labor and assembled parts are made in the Great Lakes region crossing borders as is convenient.
