The problem is it has to be APPROVED by ford corporate for warranty work. If they have a backup of service calls your car will just sit on the lot for weeks with nothing being done and no loaner/rental for you.

When I test drove my Kia Niro EV the dude couldn’t even tell us how to turn the car on or shift into drive. (step on gas pedal then press button)

They also ignore that it can also be almost completely recycled, its not lost. You mine it once and keep using it multiple times.

They also completely ignore the fact that technology improves and we are actively working on alternative batteries that use less rare minerals and are safer.
