Ford preventing EV lease holders from buying the leased cars

So, stupid question does that mean that Ford's batteries are that crappy? I mean a lease is typically what 36K miles?
Leases were always kind of dumb overall and this likely makes it worse for almost all cases except some fleets. The leases had better be insane term wise otherwise fuck that. Then again buying a car now is so insane maybe that's why they're going to try and push leases.
I wonder if it will stick around if the market corrects and you're actually seeing depreciation on cars. Also, I wonder if they'll get stuck with a check if the market crashes and if they get a bail out at taxpayer expense if it goes south. I think we all got fucked on GM and Chrysler in 08 and wouldn't be surprised if it happened again.
I also wonder if they'll hit anti trust too.

As mentioned in the video, Ford doesn't do anything for the 80% of people who own the cars. But... the environment? It's just a car grab to benefit dealers.
Bullshit it’s to put these cars in a bidding war on ford accelerate so ford can make that big money.
The point is YAA is correct. Ford isn't all about the environment. They're about profits. And dealer profits.
