Thread regarding Ford layoffs

@lie+1muprnTb Henry Ford put the world on wheels by providing affordable transportation. Bill Ford and your ilk are undoing Henry's vision and are ushering in an era un-affordable transportation for the working man. Pick-ups use to be the domain of farmers, municipalities and construction firms, not the elite. There use to be tests, like pick-up box grain leakage which was critical to farmers. Since the mid 80s more people started buying pick-ups because they cost less than cars. As time has passed the grain test has gone away and the market is dominated by casual drivers like yourself, not hard working Americans.

@lie+1muprnTb - Douche

The ones on the lot don’t qualify for the EV tax credit. They exceed the threshold cap on price.

The Government fascist alignment with Big Tech is who wants EVERYONE in an EV, with the exception of themselves, of course. It's all about controlling the people for the upcoming implementation of global communism right here in the USA. It's like the arrogant calling for g-n bans when they have armed security. They don't want you to have the right to defend yourself either.

Nobody wants EVs. If they did polestar rivian Nikola etc would be run away success..they are not…Tesla is rich people pet project. if you want to be green go to the Amish and get ye self a horse and buggy…

Good job model e losing money with your mach -e, lightning and e-transit. You should stop destroying the positive value ford blue delivers.

My friends and I all love our Ford Lightning trucks. We are mostly Director level manufacturing guys and a couple of physicians. We always throw our mountain bikes in the back and cruise on out to the trails for some epic riding.

I think Ford should stop making the XL and XLT. Who is even buying those trucks anyway? Poor people or blue collar working men? Is that really the image that we want for our brand? Absolutely not. Ford should be targeting the educated - high earning - young men and women that can carry this company into the future.

@rvj+1muprnTb: Yes I have driven a Ford Lighting and all I can say is boring.... Way to expensive for a "Grocery Getter" and why put my families life in danger with the possibility of burning down my house!

F150 Lightning has no value proposition. Its capability for EV range is a joke given the cost. The styling is boring, frankly they do not stand out. The Lightning is a personification of the Ford leadership team: Boring and Incapable.

rvj+1muprnTb you need to stop drinking KOOL AID. Numbers and Data do not lie. Get your hear out of you a$$

Success by what metric? For shipped a little over ~4300 Lightning's in the 1Q. They also sold ~5400 Mach E's. Tesla delivered over ~422K vehicles globally in the same time period. They sold 1.3M cars in 2022.

Let's at least be factual with numbers. Ford's EV results to date have been disappointing. And the competition will only increase.

Lightning has been a success. Don't be fooled by the automotive press which has a vendetta against Ford and the Ford+ transformation plan.

Have you even driven one?
