You got to have big testicles to have a Ford servicing your own teslaticle company cars.....

Elon is not afraid to team with anybody.
I think he will try and work with Bezos on his Hydrogen bldg's at truck stops ?

If you have not heard, Bezos is keeping the Rivian deal for in town and rural delivery.
All 1100 over the roads semi's are going hydrogen.
There is an easy way for infrastructure there, even convenience stores for cars>>> not with electric charging though
Totally explains why ELON's new Tesla is the Tesla H.

I truly hope that Ford does not fall completely into the abyss with E units, bad choice.

No more small commercial vans.  Nissan ended vans in 2021.  The Chevy City Express (a Nissan made in Mexico) left in 2018.  The Promaster was a Fiat made in Turkey as well.

SIL buys 4-5 vans a year for his business. He tried the Fords small and large and has stuck with the Chevy. When GM quits building them he'll need to go to Ram or the MB.

The MB Metris/Sprinter is on it's way out too.  GM full size (Chevy Express/GMC Savannah body-on frame "traditional") and Ford full size (Transit euro tall/regualer roof unibody) are still around.  Ford electric E Transit and Brightdrop (GM) Zevo 400/600 electric vans are available as well.

Now I know why these are working for him. He's got a water heater install business with about 20 guys working for him. He keeps them 3-4 years then gets  new ones. He's got some type of GM plan (similar to Ford's X plan) where he gets a set discounted price. He kept one of the little Ford Transit vans just as a parts runner.
