As they’re loosing $3B towards EV investment.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

They can lose another $3 billion on top of the $3 billion they already lost.

Ford can build as many EV’s as they want, I ain’t buying. And that goes for GM and Chrysler too.

[ealgeone]

attaboy....double down on stupid there, Ford.

[House Atreides]

They WILL NOT SELL that many.

Battery EVs are not yet “ready for prime time.” This rush to the building of soon to be obsolete products is going to cost the shareholders big time. The key weakness is the battery pack. The propeller heads of our society need a bit more time to come up with the right recipe for all temperature, lower cost, more robust battery packs. Not only for BEVs, but in other applications like storing power from intermittent sources.

I can hardly wait until they come out!

I would get up early, to stand in a long line in order to not buy one.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Good luck selling these in cold weather states.

Talk about wasting resources

LOL
Memphis?
Man this is going to be great for Tennessee.
Until it isn’t. Kind of funny since the story goes that a lot of blacks went north in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s to Detroit (and Chicago and Milwaukee?) for jobs in factories.
Now that a lot of blacks are up there and all established, Ford is moving the new jobs and the newest factories away from where the workers are.
There has to be more to this story from this perspective. I wonder if any real journalist is working on it.

Next and possibly last vehicle will most likely be a Toyota product with ICE.

I’ll keep the trucks as long as I can get fuel.

[Osage Orange]

Jim Farley is an idiot.....

[Blood of Tyrants]

A whole lot more four year old children are going to be needed in the cobalt mines to keep up with the demand.

They should probably plan on going out of business too.

[PLMerite]

“Ford plans to build 500,000 EVs annually at its $5.6 billion Tennessee campus”

Really. How many does it plan on selling?

[rktman]

Awesome plan eh?

Subsidies?

[hopespringseternal]

Insanity. The electrical grid can’t support EVs, and they are doing absolutely nothing to change that.

While the ruling class may think turning the middle class into sessile serfs is a great plan, the technology that lets that ruling class live a comfortable life depends on large numbers of highly educated and/or skilled people.

The drive to achieve that education and hone those skills depends on those people seeing a concrete benefit to themselves by doing so. Nobody is going to bother getting an engineering degree to earn minimum wage and live in a dump they can never leave.

[griffin]

Nice knowin ya, Grid!

[NWFree]

Good luck with all that battery crap so popular it has to be forced on people

[taxesareforever]

Golf carts?
