I mean, look at your pricing Ford.

Give me an EV Truck for under 40k and I'll buy it.

I feel like these stories are all different versions of "Americans buying power has completely collapsed"

Honestly, I have a solid job and I still can't see myself spending 40k on a car. That's just such a crazy amount of money to put into something that sits outside in front of my house 50% of the time doing nothing.

I probably will never again be able to buy a new car, because I'm from the generation where 5 year loans are the absolute MAX I'd ever do on a car.
