Undoubtedly, some form of government handout either over or under the table.

“Ford has this kind of money how?”

A $1000 incentive is peanuts.

List price for the F-150 Lightning is around $70,000, so $1,000 per vehicle isn't out of line as far as dealer incentives go.

Speaking of money a couple I know built a McMansion they couldn’t afford near the Ford Blue Oval City in Tennessee.

The plant is to make batteries and electric cars.

Their reasoning is if they put all their money in a giant McMansion the value will only go to the moon because of the battery plant and all the new, high paying jobs there. Then they can sell the house and retire.

Now much of the building and planned operations at this plant have been suspended.

Oops.

"Ford has this kind of money how?"

From the taxpayers' wallets, via the "Green New Deal".

Simply being an EV gets you taxpayer-funded "benefits"....aka; subsidies.
