These keycards are great, can be reprogrammed to a different Tesla (or cancelled if lost) - and a new pair costs 35$ (or €). I drilled holes in one, so I can keep it on a string around my neck inside my wet-suit/triathlon-suit. The price for a new key for an old-fashioned car is _much_ higher.
The analogy would be early on when Smartphones came out. By that metric Apple "lost market share" to competitors when they introduced their own smartphones. After all, before that Apple had 100% of the Smartphone market! Let's ignore the fact that Apple smartphones were replacing dumb phones at a rapid pace. (there were some other "smartphones" at the time but this is simplified)
I think you are over-estimating Ford's ability to be embarrassed. It's all about the money.
Yep, it'd be difficult to stay within your lane, but to have a source that does an honest "Hatchet job" without an ulterior motive would be huge. Even if the Youtube channel was wrong every so often and had to retract or modify their position... it would insightful. As would a "fan boy" that would be honest and fanboy everything about a particular model.
The Senate gets one budget reconciliation bill per year. But the COVID stimulus was passed using last year's budget authority, so they have access to a bonus round this year.
If I recall, a replacement fob for my wife's 3000GT was around $300!
I wonder how much Ford charges for a replacement Mach E fob. As you said, the keycards are MUCH more friendly when it comes to things like water sports. Its all in how they want to skew the story.

Just about to return a loaner MX75 given for minor recall repair on our 2016MX90D. What is very interesting is that the MX 75 has a 90% charge range of 245 miles, while my MX is around 221 miles. So looks like there have been significant improvements to the motor to allow for better range with a smaller battery...
Ford Mustang Mach-E Proves It's A Winner In 456-Mile Tahoe Road Trip
We road trip in the Ford Mustang Mach-E to find out if it's a capable EV. Turns out, it's among the best EVs you can buy today.insideevs.com
Tesla advantages are software, updates and charging infrastructure. Ford advantages are lots of service centers to get help, and hardware build quality. Can't get locked out etc since ford's use a B pillar combo lock to gain entry.
If charging infrastructure improves alot over time it will help Ford and the ev industry overall most.
I think cost will still matter most to the masses with the EV push though.
Yeah, saw that but i think that's just Tesmanian guessing. I mean AFAIK there are two if these side by side, so Model Y production probably won't have to fully stop but may need to be dialed back for a few das.I saw something that said it should be back up and running again in a few days.
Giga Press Minor Fire Extinguished at Tesla's Fremont Factory, Possible Return to Operation in a Few Days
Yesterday Giga Press at Tesla's Fremont factory caught fire, which was quickly extinguished. No Tesla personnel or fire brigade was injured. The cause of the fire hints that the Giga Press can be repaired shortly and return to full operation.
Looks like caping at 690 right now
Umm, didn‘t a good deal of the money to help bail Greece out of its recent debt crisis come from Germany and France?
A lot of people don't know this but you can use the same key card for multiple Tesla. Very handy if you are building up a small fleet!
Macro is playing a big role right now, this stupid yield nonsense that everyones'their
over is making things tricky
