trhodes+FollowTesla’s Fancy Model Y Still Up for Grabs?Turns out those hyped-up Model Y Launch Editions didn’t fly off the lot like Tesla hoped—they’re still chilling in inventory months later. Even with all the bells and whistles (think Acceleration Boost, Full-Self Driving, and premium finishes), buyers just aren’t biting, probably thanks to that $59K price tag (or $52K with the tax credit). If you want a rare, fully-loaded Model Y without the wait, now’s your chance. But honestly, the regular Long Range might be the smarter buy unless you’re all about those extras. #Tesla #ModelY #ElectricVehicles #CarNews #EVs #Cars97Share

walkerjason+FollowFord’s Earnings: Trucks Up, EVs Down 🚗⚡Ford’s about to drop its Q1 earnings, and it’s a total rollercoaster. Truck and hybrid sales are crushing it (hello, 16% jump!), but EVs? Not so much—sales tanked 40% in April. Tariffs and rising costs are making things even messier, and Ford’s expecting to lose $5.5B on EVs next year. The bright side: dividends are still juicy, and their trucks are basically holding the fort. If you’re thinking of buying Ford stock, maybe wait for the dust to settle! #Ford #Earnings #EVs #Trucks #StockMarket #Investing #Cars40Share
