Is any body else concerned about the 7.9% YOY decline in Ford vehicle sales and 10.9% YOY decline in Lincoln sales? If vehicles aren’t selling, jobs will be eliminated.

When Ford makes a vehicle with poor quality. Ugly, outdated. Full of problems and recalls. Sales will go down.
No one wants to buy a Ford.
What’s also unsaid is the quality of the management team. Look at Tim Son-Hing, the guy followed a g-y employee into the bathroom like it’s a never ending frat party, tell me that’s mature.
Your definition of impatient: Not being willing to write a blank check for flunkies that keep over promising and under delivering. Drain the life out of a 123 year old business to chase a pipe dream that never materializes. Not because its a pipe dream, but because the fortitude to execute PROPERLY isn't there. Special snowflakes Look what has happened - The ones you fanboy for are gone...they just are. You can shill all you want. They still left before they finished the job.
@ey Yu really need to layoff the "CRACK"... There are plenty of foreign OEMs already well ahead of Ford in EV design and technology. You need to provide legitimate examples vs the BS you spew... I heard all these same statements before I retired. In the real world.. Ford is losing money.. sales declining .. Your only hope is a bailout or subsidies... because you surely cannot do it on your own. Not the that circus of a BOD and a comedian as CEO..
Ford vehicles are ugliest vehicles out there. No innovation whatsoever. Same look each and every year until the vehicle dies.

You seem very impatient. Software for the mobility market is not an overnight turnaround. Neither is the rest of the vehicle for the most part. It takes time to plan and execute. The UEV is closer than you think.
@er so the excuse is poor product planning for the past 2-3 years? Most companies fire people with such poor performance.
decline due to models discontinuations, replacements are coming, but 2/3 years away. Next year will be uneventful as well.
@ej actual software providers publish their subscription numbers every quarter. Ford is a truck manufacturer, and not a very high quality one.
Post ID: @dy+1m6s8h8rf, not publishing sales revenue for the most lucrative business in the mobility market is the right move. Why give competitors and advantage? The growth in this space is yet to come, with our new products which fully enable services to the forefront.
@dy ford pro employs LL4s that are s-xual predators
@cr the fact that they don’t publish a line item for subscription revenue recognized makes it clear Ford is nowhere near being profitable from subscriptions.Also that the failure at delivering security subscriptions is now vacationing in Europe and still collecting a Ford paycheck. Pro profitability is mostly accounting tricks.
Ford Credit and Subscriptions will save us!!
You are right. We shouldn't be concerned UNTIL that thing launches.
When are you going to stop saying "almost"? All ya ever say buddy.
Not concerned. The UEV hasn't even been launched yet along with the compelling features/services that customers are sure to pay for. Sit tight, the take back of sales and market share from our competitors is almost upon us.
