2024 Objectives / Planning
Nice to see management is getting 2024 PR objectives set before break. I feel better knowing there is a plan for me.
Ford EV sales vs Tesla
Ford sold 62,000 EVs in 2023. Ford sold 61,000 EVs in 2022. An increase of 1.6% YOY. Tesla sold 1.3 million EVs in 2022. Tesla sold an average of 430,000 EVs per quarter in 2023. Wholly cow. It will be over 1.7 million units this year. ... — read more
