Ford CEO Jim Farley I am simply amazed at the utter lack of imagination and the will to make things right in this CEO. Perhaps it would be better if Farley takes Ford out of the continent completely. Simply because his vision doesn't have the balls to compete. As a loyal Ford customer, I am appalled by his statement that he has had enough with "boring cars". Sorry Jim, you made them boring by not keeping up with market and using cheap materials. And of course, wrong planning. Example: both Focus and Kuga share the same platform and interior. Yet made in two different sites. Why? Hyundai makes 3 x models at the same plant in CR. And Focus and Kuga still bring you profits, whereas your EV venture is in the minus. Wake up and make good efficient cars that people want, not what you want to sell to people. Or go and buy all cars yourself! Keeping the stock price up is all you care about. Not what people want, even the loyal customers. What a shame! Keep Ford in the US; but it wont survive for long on trucks alone!

In the car world, sometimes money just isn’t enough. Certain supercar manufacturers put you through a vetting process before you’re approved to buy one of their creations. Other companies, such as Ford, make you wait a long time for the return of certain beloved models, such as the Mustang Mach 1 or Bronco. It’s been two decades since Ford produced the 2004 SVT Mustang Cobra with the Mystichrome paint job. And guess what? It’s still not bringing it back to its list of available colors. The good news is that RTR Vehicles has started offering the distinctive, color-shifting finish. https://lnkd.in/gAN8pDYs

When thinking about electronic vs paper, consider the price of training people on GDP vs the price of maintaining an electronic system. I had a friend that drove a Jeep Sahara (I think it was), but all her network drove big black SUVs. Well, she bought herself her big SUV. It was beautiful! It even had steps that opened up when you open the door. I really appreciated that. The problem was that she couldn’t afford the gas that the SUV drank daily, so it spent most of its time in the driveway. Can you afford the maintenance to the electronic system? Will you have enough staff to be able to make changes quickly in these electronic platforms? If so, then this is for you. Remember, if you can’t afford the maintenance of a BMW, a Honda will take you to the same place, within the same time.

As we say at Ford, be curious! Let's take a look at the all-new 2025 Ford Super Duty. Ford continues to lead as it understands the customers' needs, whether commercial, ranch, or farm owners. The forward-thinking approach delivers what those who love the extra tech, innovation, powertrain versatility, and taste of cabin luxury. With strong competition in its rearview. The Super Duty still stands out as the leader in this segment.

The Ford Motor Company transformed the auto industry in 1908 with the release of the Model T, a car that brought affordable transportation to millions of Americans. 🚗💨 Henry Ford’s goal was to create a vehicle that was durable, simple to operate, and accessible to the average person. Priced initially at $850, Ford's innovative use of the assembly line reduced the production time, allowing the price to drop to as low as $260. By 1927, more than 15 million Model T’s had been sold, making it the best-selling car of its time and connecting rural Americans to the rest of the country. This vehicle not only shifted American life toward urbanization but also set the foundation for modern automobile manufacturing. #ModelT #FordLegacy #AmericanInnovation Alt Text: A black-and-white photo of the 1908 Model T, Ford’s universal car.

History of automotive repeating with EV cars History to start with - Roughly 20 years after the “car” was invented by Mercedes in 1886, there were more than 100 car companies (yes!) in US alone (ref1). The car manufacturers battled it out and 50 years later (by 1960) just around 10 companies survived. And by 2000, there were 3 main players - Ford, GM, Chrysler. Fast forward a century, now again more than 200 car companies (ref2) are battling it out in China! By the way, it seems that China is the new US for (EV) cars. And of course, the market is brutal and “survival of the fittest” would play out in the next years. But, don’t expect that it lasts another century. Give it another 10 years. We will have the list of winners. Reference 1 (ref1) : https://lnkd.in/gBsDkxww Reference 2(ref2): https://lnkd.in/gYi_RqcX

Ford stops production of many different EVs in 2024 Ford has seemingly been struggling to keep up with some of the competition when it comes to EV's, as they have shut down production on one of the assembly lines for their Ford Lightnings, and now they are seemingly stopping production on 3 row vehicles as well, being the Lincoln Aviator and the signature Ford Explorer. Some of this could come down to the prices of batteries increasing lately, or the lack of sales in that division of cars. Both could be a possibility as well. All we know is that Jim Farley promises the next F-150 EV series will be "revolutionary" https://lnkd.in/g_cKvgZu Image from: https://lnkd.in/gXHrzw76
