New regime took a realistic approach vs trying to ki-l ICE with regulations.
Can’t wait to see Billy and Fartley say we don’t want to go back. Guess who will be ok with it, Toyota.

Water’s world? No Maddow is my source of intellectual enlightenment. 🙄
Toyota has the right business model. And all the other OEMs done F’d up. They will be around longer than Fomoco or Tesla.
@qc+1jp6rw02e Yeah I caught tonight’s episode of Watters’ World too pal… Understand the transition is not going to happen overnight, rather over many years/decades as BEV tech matures and infrastructure is incrementally upgraded. The point is we can’t throw all that R&D out now and expect to make a better product than foreign competitors who have spent the prior 20 years perfecting their cars. Every year EV market share grows, if we don’t continue to make investments we are willingly giving up customers to other companies, and will have a smaller slice of an ever-shrinking pie
Do you understand how bad the electrical infrastructure in this country is outside of your little bubble that you live in?
Do you understand what life outside of suburbia looks like?
Try to move outside of the 2 hours of where you live and see what the rest of the country is really like
For Pete's sakes you don't even understand what it's like to live in the urban areas of your bubble where people don't have garages and park on the streets in front of their houses IE hamtramck
Where are they plugging into?
Oh that's right you're going to wait for the totally inefficient people running this country to upgrade everything and get chargers in place.
All due respect you are delusional
That's why the company is doomed
@hy+1jp6rw02e It’s not some religious dedication to the environment. Simply put, the world has extracted most of the easy oil. We now rely on resource intensive methods of extraction, most of which, we don’t even have to capability to refine domestically, so we have to import oil for fuel. We're dependent on unfriendly countries for almost all of our transportation energy needs. EVs not only solve the problem in the future since we can charge them with any method of power generation, but as the technology matures they will become superior to ICE in terms of comfort, reliability, safety, and cost. Pushing off the R&D on EV now is only delaying the inevitable. We can either invest now and learn from our mistakes or give up the entire market to Chinese companies.
We have a problem that a lot of people have strong religious beliefs to do with climate, certain human rights issues,... you get where I'm going....
Call them derangement syndromes, mass formation psychosis, or what you like.... but it's not easily settled.
If you buy a Tesla some protester will probably burn it.
Seems like the revolution is well under way and we need to carry on with the counter revolution.

You are completely on point. There is no reason we should make any change to the Ford+ Transformation Plan and our dedication to BEV mobility and the profitable services/subscriptions that we can offer our customers.
We will be in the best position of any mobility company when the next administration is in power.
Tesla quality is similar to Nissan, which is not very good. GM and Ford are much better quality, overall. Some Tesla's with the Panasonic battery, have a well-built and designed propulsion system. There are still the the other issues.
@cf+1jp6rw02e i don't know, if i were in the market for an EV, those Lightnings and Mach E's seem way cooler than the Teslas which look like turtles.
Yep the last 10 years of planning lost 15 billion on BEV’s with the help of the Biden regime. so Ford should keep doing the same thing. 🤡
Yeah we should scrap the last 10 years of product planning to accommodate the next 40 months of this bumbling administration, the actions of which will almost certainly be erased on day one of the next, so that we can be behind the 8 ball for the next decade too. That’s a great idea and not short sighted at all!
If Ford doesn't go back to basics it will be the end for Ford. Model e cannot compete with Tesla and should be completely gutted. Most people will never buy a Ford EV when they can buy a Tesla. Stop talking fancy garbage and get real.
GM is investing 1 billion in a revised v8 and a new I4. Fartley and Billy are going to run the company into the ground.
To the clowns saying BEV will be the future whether you like it or not are delusional. Customer's pay the bills not the government. The government may loan or give money (tax dollars) to promote BEVs but they currently can’t force people to buy them. Get your head out of your b-m.
@bs+1jp6rw02e
early 1920s, let us speak up to the managers about the new horse bridle, the future of the company.
Why not speak up in favor of ice to manager and at town halls!!
whether we want it or not, EV is a future, more near than distant, opportune time to readjust and stop pushing half baked products to the market and do it right
Model e mobility products and services are the prime direction for the company. Leadership reiterates this at every Global Town Hall. The plan has not changed.
Perfect time to eliminate the money losing Model e and go back to ONE FORD.
No new powertrains and a nightmare EV landscape.
