How is Ford going to deliver on the Gen 3 Raptor with this chip shortage?

[UnlimitedTraction]

between ford trying to improve their cafe standards, tightening evap rules, and not having the parts to produce their bread and butter vehicles, its not looking good. the hellcat engines are on their deathbed with the epa clamping down and if the parts suppliers can't get their act together, the v8 raptor might be a really short run.

Yup, that is what I think too. I am pretty happy either way with my 2020.

same, last year of the gen 2 & last year of the scab.

I sort of regret not getting a race red scab when I could have but the dealer that had one was playing so many games with me, I passed on it. The s/crew ended up working out better because I want to tow an enclosed trailer in the future

unfortunately I think you’re right. Biden and his ring of leftist idiots will do everything in their power to make sure we’re all sitting on top of giant cancer causing batteries ASAP. It’s not just the big V8s that are on their deathbed...the internal combustion engine itself is also singing its swan song.

It took longer to turn political than I thought it would.

I know right, it’s crazy how issues that are directly linked to politics tend to turn political. Gets me every time.

I agree 100% which is why I have a TRX on order. I think 2024 at best is the last year of the Hellcat in its current form. My guess is the Raptor R with the screaming V8 will be similar.

So the “battery technology” directly mirrors our cell phone batteries. So we are all walking around with cancer in our front leg pockets. And Biden wasn’t even a glimmer in political posturing when electric vehicles were being pushed. Are you blaming Biden because you support Trump, or because you truly believe he is the reason going electric is happening?

The jury is still out on cell phones. We will probably never know the truth because there’s a huge lobby behind big tech. But there’s been a gigantic uptick in the incidence of glioblastoma multiforme, the deadliest of brain cancers, and it coincides with the widespread use of cell phones. Here’s some reading, educate yourself:

Mobile phone use and glioma risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis - PMC

Many studies have previously investigated the potential association between mobile phone use and the risk of glioma. However, results from these individual studies are inconclusive and controversial. The objective of our study was to investigate the ...

Long-term Cell Phone Use Linked to Brain Tumor Risk

The most recent study results show that the risk for glioma triples with long-term exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields emitted by wireless phones.

for the Biden thing:

Biden wants to build a national EV charging system under $2 trillion infrastructure plan, but it won't be easy

An estimated $300 billion is needed to build out a global charging network to meet the expected growth of EVs by 2030, including $50 billion in the U.S. alone

So you would be mad if I told you I voted for Biden I am guessing?
