I think Tesla is so far ahead in this space that Ford may as well not even try.

Yes. And too impractical.

There is a reason.
The reason is the Mach-E itself versus just EVs. The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car in the world in 2023 Q1. A first for an EV. It was also the 4th best-selling car in the US during Q1 behind the Big 3s trucks. The Model 3 was number 11 in the US and the only "car" that beat it was the Camry.

Dealers kept putting insane markups on them so people bought different EVs. It’s the dealership owner’s faults.

People that want EVs don’t want Fords. Or full-sized trucks.
Toyota has taken a more measured approach, and folks are paying insane prices and waiting for months for the RAV4 Prime PHEV.

I don't think gasoline prices are high enough right now. I'm in Scotland now and they aren't doing much of the EV thing here either.

For me it’s a few variables. We like to drive when we travel versus fly, so it doesn’t really meet the need of driving longer distances. Especially when only certain parts of the country have the infrastructure to support it. And when I’m home, I have a really short commute so there’s no reason for me to get rid of my current car which is paid off and works great.
