It’s also true that not everyone wants a Tesla. Even when affordable, many people just don’t want a barren, brutalist interior. People often want things like a turn signal stalk, a few buttons for the most commonly used systems, and *GASP!* a gauge cluster display that’s in front of them while facing forward. Some of us don’t want to use a touchscreen to aim the AC vents when we could just do that with our hands like we’ve always done, and more quickly. Some of us also aren’t impressed with Elon Musk’s edgy behaviour(..)
P.S. All this could be true, but GM is not able to sell the Chevrolet Bolt in large volumes, nor is it able to export this electric car to Europe. At its heart conceptually, the Chevrolet Bolt was a compliance electric car that GM made only because it had to. Tesla and the Chinese electric car manufacturers are still completely safe, especially in Europe, where there is absolutely NO "competition" from GM...
Basically, GM has completely lost the European car market and there is very little chance that they will be able to come back. Most likely, Ford will also lose the European car market (Ford will no longer make the Fiesta). It's hard for them to go here. Americans are not good at producing compact and subcompact cars and crossovers...

Focus your attention on yourself, your behaviours, your dreams and your purpose.
-
All you need to know is that you have to be better than you used to be and not better than others. You are you and they are them. Every time you focus your attention outwards, every time you choose to compare yourself with others, you will lose sight of who you really are. This will weaken you and you might lose faith in what you can and can’t do.
-
The most important person in your life is you and all you need to do is better than you used to be. Never stop learning. Never stop growing and improving. Remember that!

This caption was inspired by the many messages I’ve been getting recently. And something I also need to remind myself from time to time. Hope everyone is having an awesome week so far!!

Two doors too few: Part 2 Ford Granada Mk 1, 1972-1977. The Granada was Ford of Europe's flagship model and the first to be sold across European and UK markets. The Mk 1 range comprised a 4-door saloon, 5-door Turnier Estate, 2-door fastback coupe and this 2-door saloon that came with 1.7 V4 and 2.0 litre L4 and V6 engines. It used the long doors of Granada coupe and the 3-box bodywork of the 4-door sedan. When the Mk 2 Granada arrived in 1977 both the 2-door saloon and coupe had been dropped

Ford quietly reveals its GENIUS 2030 strategy to exit Europe & China
P.S. Maybe this way Ford will be able to save itself from bankruptcy with the help of LFP batteries...! but in any case, Ford will become a much smaller player in the international car market...
