Ford’s electric pickup has been America’s best-seller for quite some time, but digging deeper into the numbers reveals why Ford chose gas and hybrid trucks to bring in higher profits. The company sold 10,005 F-150 Lightning EVs in the third quarter, a healthy 39.7% increase year-over-year, but nowhere near the 207,732 F-Series trucks sold during the same period.
“For larger retail, electric utilities, the economics are unresolvable,” Farley said. “These customers have very demanding use cases for an electric vehicle. They tow, they go off-road, they take long road trips. These vehicles have worse aerodynamics and they're very heavy, which means very large and expensive batteries.”
A Ford spokesperson later clarified to InsideEVs that Farley was specifically referring to large, customer-focused "utility" vehicles—SUVs like the Ford Expedition and so on. Despite some setbacks and the cancellation of its large three-row SUV, Ford is far from done with EVs, however. The automaker is planning a midsize all-electric truck that is a kind of quasi-F-150 Lightning successor; a family of from-the-ground-up EVs on its so-called "skunkworks" platform; and a broadened series of electrified vehicles, including hybrids and extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs), which Farley elaborated on during the call.
I see trees of green Red roses too I see them bloom For me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue And clouds of white The bright blessed day The dark sacred night And I think to myself What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of people going by I see friends shaking hands Saying, "How do you do?" They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cry I watch them grow They'll learn much more Than I'll never know And I think to myself What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself What a wonderful world

Turn key on (do not start), turn radio/AC/fan off, set parking brake. Turn key off. Turn key on (do not start), wait until air bag light goes out, wait 3-5 seconds, then buckle and unbuckle the seat belt 4 times, ending with it unbuckled, wait for seatbelt light to flash and then stay on, then buckle and unbuckle one more time. That's it !! You can drive it around the block with your seatbelt unbuckled and the warning on the screen will stay on, but NO CHIME !!
One position Mamdani has stood firm on is his criticism of Israel and lifelong support for Palestinian rights. It represents a break from the Democratic party establishment and could be a deciding factor for many voters in a city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel.
the biggest takeaway was Trump’s willingness to add sanctions to those imposed under the Biden administration.
“This is the first set of sanctions from President Trump after he returned to the White House,” said Weafer. “And the fear now is that now that he’s broken, kind of like the seal, as it were, that if he is dissatisfied with any progress with Russia going forward, then he may come with more and more damaging sanctions.”
“So many of these measures have been implemented too slowly and ... a little bit at a time so that Russia has had time to adapt and to prepare and to prevent and to react,” Perrotta Berlin said.
In 1963, the U.S., the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union signed the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty to stop nuclear tests in the atmosphere, outer space and underwater.
The decision was made over environmental concerns and the fallout of the Cuban Missile Crisis, per the CSIS. The Threshold Test Ban Treaty in 1974 limited the yield of underground testing to below 150 kilotons. In 1992, Congress passed a resolution that prohibited the U.S. from conducting underground nuclear tests unless a foreign state did so, leading to the current moratorium. Of note: The 1997 Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty sought to ban all nuclear testing worldwide, and it proved largely successful even though it was not universally ratified.
The SNAP shutdown halts roughly $8 billion a month in federal food assistance — money that usually flows straight into grocery stores and helps feed 42 million Americans. Without it, both low-income households and major retailers like Walmart, Aldi and Kroger feel the pinch. Driving the news: Companies and nonprofits are rolling out new programs to keep food flowing — from free grocery credits to multimillion-dollar donations.
