We'd love to have your review or rating at Apple Podcasts! Snowcats produced by DeLorean (and good ol' diesel fuel) are keeping our phones working! Ford CEO Jim Farley praises the Chinese Xiaomi SU7 that he drove for months. ...He can't be labeled a Grosse Pointe Myopian! Ford reveals plans for EREVs like many other markets are preparing. What if a Range Extender (in an optional mode) was a roaring V8 or a screaming Hyabusa engine being stressed with a load and software-enabled "gears" to emulate a conventional ICE?
