outside1234··on I'll be stepping back from leading product for X
It has collapsed. It is just bots and racism that have collapsed it, not a technical failure.

It has also collapsed on a business front. There are rumors that it has 1/10th the revenue that it did before.

I agree, I want one. But not without CarPlay. Ford it is until then.
