Ford, UAW reach tentative deal to end labor strikes

UAW and Ford have reached a tentative agreement that could end a nearly six-week strike at the automaker, the union announced Wednesday night.

I see Fords and Fain/UAW have come to a tentative agreement that has to be ratified and voted on but that still leaves GM and Stellantis groveling. They didn't get their 40% either. They got 24% over 4 years. Still knowing who I do at Fords, I'm confident that Fords will be building plants in RTW states and moving south and opening in a non union atmosphere.

Marshall battery plant is up in the air still and Not sure about their suppliers. I'm sure there will be a price increase on new vehicles, not that anyone can afford a 'well appointed' one today, anyway.

I sure as heck cannot.

Yea, the warranty on a Mach E battery is 8 years/100,000 miles. Then what? I have (2) vehicles older than 8 years now. My old F150 would probably be on its 3rd or 4th battery by now if it was an EV. Aftermarket EV battery replacement is going to have to be a thing.

A friend of mine tried to cheap out on batteries for his electric golf cart and got bit. He ended up replacing the replacement batteries. An EV would be that times about 6 or 8 I guess.

True . spent 1700 on our golf cart batteries. If you are looking to buy an electric have to go in with eyes open and accept long term risk or accept trading in for something else when it gets to the end of the warranty. pay your money and take your chances.

... and pay a premium price to junk it because the battery is Haz Mat.

Or companies like Redwood Materials will buy them since they have successfully recycled over 90% of the EV batteries they have processed so far,

and just released their pricing sheet for dismantlers.

But not for individuals, only recyclers and dealers and I bet the original owner gets screwed.

This is all very new, hard to say if dismantlers are just accepting or paying but it sure sounds like no one is paying a hazardous waste disposal fee.

Even when the general public isn’t able to buy some production always goes to government and fleet sales…

Hey Gale,

Have you ever made a cross country road trip using the dependable Tesla superchargers? How was the FSD? We'd all love to hear about it again (and again)

Considering he answered that question days earlier I can't tell if you are being facetious or serious.

What does the guy circle jerking his tesla ego have to do with the Uaw strike again?

So we have a deal or what

Show us on the doll where Tesla hurt you.

Will Ford stock move today? If so, which way will it go?
