Shame on Ford, Farley and the board of directors. After 50 years of being a loyal Ford customer i am done. Farley says cars are boring- real nice comment from the CEO.
I was a loyal Honda guy for 25 years. having bought 10 new cars in that time. Switched to Lexus a few years ago and have never been happier. Only remain loyal to those who remain loyal to you.
Sold ALL my Ford stock 3 years ago. EV obsession is and was a huge mistake and driven by sanctimonious blowhards that want to tell you how to live your life. No thanks and please F off.
Farley is going to make me buy a Toyota for sure my next vehicle especially when the idiot brags about the Chinese vehicle he doesn't want to give up. Goodbye FORD....
Yeah, you could buy a nice TRD off road Tacoma and a Rav4 for the price of one lightning. But honestly I would rather find an old classic vehicle and put the money into restoring it. I love Ford but only the 90's and down, pretty much done with new cars all together, older ones only go up in value anyway.
@@j.c.4192 _well, they say the chinese are subsidized_ You missed what I said. The Chinese companies are subsidized by the Chinese government. US EV's are subsidized by the taxpayer *and* the buyers of normal cars. That's why the price of all cars has gone up.
IN carson, ca THE AAA COMPANY TRUCK IS ELECTRIC, BUT ITS IN THE DEALERS SHOP EVER MONTH, they charge everyday the truck and it only gets 145.00 miles a days work? someone came up with a camper shell that has 2 - 1000 watts solar panels on the top of the shell , but its only good in sunny condition , in cloudy condition its a have charge, full charge is 50 amps per hr, cloudy condition is have that per hr.
I remember the story where the guy charges up the Lightening, loads the family up, hooks up the boat and they are going on vacation. They made it 85 miles and were out of juice.
I've just discovered this channel and I've subscribed because i love the way they don't talk down to me like others and the information is factual and very interesting and this is the first I've seen thanks guys and keep up the good work and it also makes me proud that they are from the greater DFW area where I'm from 🎉
Thanks for the update on Ford. The video was a little tough to follow with all the edits and flashbacks to previously recorded footage from older videos but the updates on where Ford is going blindly into more electrification and Chinese partnerships was very interesting but not in a good way for Ford in my opinion.
People quote his Xiaomi comment out of context. He did say he likes the car, but he also said a lot of things people didn't pay attention to. He just doesn't want what happened to Detroit repeat. The ignorance is what killed Detroit car industry and if you think the tarrif is going to stop the Chinese auto maker, you are naive. For those who don't know the car competition landscape outside US, this is the iPhone moment where EV is the iPhone and Ford is like the Nokia. Ford can still do well without enbracing EV for the next 5 years and he as CEO can get pretty decent salary, but Ford will eventually disappear as battery technology is improving at rate fule conbustion engineer can never imagine.
Their ridiculous demands, esp high earnings, are seriously outside of reasonable. I used to work for automotive vendors and spent enough time in their plants to understand what “UAW” truly means: “U Ain’t Working.” They milk the companies for everything and give little (work) in return.
That's what I have noticed with all unions for the most part. The slackers get all the perks and benefits, put on a pedestal while the real hardworkers get used and taken advantage of.. the mop up crews that are forced to take up the slack for the slackers. @crazeedad7813
You act like prices wouldn’t be where they are now if they got paid less. Newsflash. The prices would still be the same because of stockholders demanding dividends
I don’t have a problem with Ford introducing Chinese cars, but I would expect the same price. You can buy a Chinese maid vehicle fully equipped loaded for under $20,000 and if you get anything above $20,000, it’s really a prime and exquisite looking car and the CEO knows this But no anything coming in from China. They’ll be 100% markup and the American people are screwed. I’m sick and tired of American company screwing the American citizen when the American citizens are the number one consumers of the world which should be giving the entire world a middle fingerand use our buying power to our advantage for lower prices boycott every American product
What a load of crap he did the right thing checking out the competition he has tested many different brands and he is right the Chinese car is way ahead of us . And your information on this propaganda is totally false
According to US insurance data, for every 100,000 EV's 25 will catch fire, whilst for every 100,000 ICE vehicles 1,532 will catch fire. You have been played and you dont have the smarts to realise it
@@stevehayward1854 You don't understand that almost all regular car fires are older vehicles that are poorly maintained. All EV fires are relatively new cars and happen spontaneously. What's worse is gasoline cars burn at a relatively low temperatures compared to lithium battery fires, which burn at over 5,000 degrees and cannot be put out once started, even if you dunk the entire car in water.
@@ElMistroFeroz So you have no answer to my facts. _It is a fact_ that EV fires are generally a surprise and not related to maintenance or usage patterns. _It is a fact_ that the fires from Lithium are so hot that they cannot be put out using traditional fire fighting. In fact, water *fuels* lithium fires. If you look on youtube, you'll find a Tesla that rolled into water and it was burning underwater. Become educated please.
I don't care if the garbage producing companies go broke and out of business, I'll keep my paid for, reliable, easy to fix with affordable parts when needed, old truck. 👍🏻
The lady also mentioned ev’s not selling, has she never driven by a legacy auto dealer? The lots are full of trucks and cars. No Teslas have an overstock of over 30 days yet a year or more. Tesla has over 30 billion dollars on hand in case they think of something to do with it. Legacy auto manufacturers all have 200 billion $ debt or more adding service on debt of about $8000 a vehicle that has to be added to cost their products. So who is having trouble here, you figure it out.
Depending on the EV from China, it might be a good thing that the CEO of Ford is impressed. He can use the information that he has acquired to make affordable trucks and cars in the USA under the Ford brand. BYD has a pickup truck that is affordable (but needs to be made larger for the US market) and is hybrid. It runs an ICE engine (low displacement) which runs a generator that charges the batteries, which run the electric motors. The truck always has a battery capacity so will always have full electric power when needed. Since you are not using full power most of the time the ICE engine regenerates the battery as you drive. You don't have an issue with range as the ICE motor can just be filled at any service station, but can be plugged in at your home or charger if you want. The other thing with the BYD is that the battery is leased so you don't have to worry about the battery degrading with time, and the company has built the truck so the battery can be removed robotically and replaced when required at the companies expense (since you only lease them, and BYD owns them). It will bring EV (or Hybrid) vehicles into the 22nd Century and will make the Big Three stand up and take notice. EV vehicles can be built and can be profitable if you change your business model to support the customer. The Ramcharger will be the first American made experiment in this direction. Lets hope that the battery lease will also be adopted.
An electric Mustang could be really cool, but slapping the Mustang name on a crossover SUV, electric or otherwise, is a ridiculous idea. The Mustang MomE is just embarrassing.
I used to work with a guy over 20 years ago who over his years had been a Ford mechanic. He was all sold out on Ford and always drove a Ford truck. I saw him a couple of years ago and he was driving a Chevrolet truck. I never asked why he had a GM truck but I'm figuring something pretty serious made him decide to switch from Ford.
History: 1988: Ford was going to make a new 4 cylinder and V6 front wheel drive Mustang. A letter campaign from the public kept them from doing it. The Front drive platform then became the Probe.
make all electric cars about half the price of gas cars. That’s how they’re supposed to be sold, but big greedy because they gotta make everything new more expensive, but it’s not better yet
As workers wages fall father behind auto makers will slowly starve them selves at this rate opening the door for low cost alternatives or competitors from else where .Also, Ontario Canada changed the new home building code to require an EV outlet be installed where you are selling to an EV owner or not . Side note, good to see your sister back, ;-)
I am leasing a Lighting for over $500 a month with no money down. At the end of my lease, if I buy it, my total payout ia $58K. I am saving $2500 a year charging vs buying gas. I have no engine, transmission or exhaust to maintain/repair or replace. I dont care to hear a noisy engine. I enjoy the quiet. And 0 to 60 in 4 seconds is pretty nice when you need it.
Once the tax credits are out this nonesense will stop. Only Tesla will remain as EV manufacturer and Ford and Chevy can go back to American muscle. Otherwise they just gonna die as a company.
The issue that all of the big 3 need to look at is the fact that they have totally abandoned the people that made them profitable all of these years. The people that need an dependable but affordable vehicle. $40,000 and up is not in the budget of more than half of the country. Start building good affordable vehicles for the everyday people. The market is there.
There's plenty on the lots, it's just that they don't make sense from a cost or resale perspective. If you buy an F250 with the diesel engine, you can drive it for 10 years and probably sell it for what you paid for it originally.
Farley is an idiot Ford is going down they won't even honor their warranties anymore I'm speaking from personal experience family-owned Ford dealership for years 62-year-old loyal Ford owner no longer! 😢
If you have an electric dryer in your home, you already have the plug outlet you need. Why is FORD not importiing the Explorer and Capri EVs from Germany?
The Mach E needs to be a better car with better software and integration, and better more available charging. Good electric cars are selling well in certain markets but almost good cars don't sell well anywhere.
It’s how you learn, China EV is years ahead of anything made in America, yes including Tesla. Americans continue to fight for big oil while the rest of the world has moved on years ago.
If Ford looks for more ways to cost cuts with where they source their parts, we the consumer will suffer for it. I'm a Mustang guy through and through and have had 4 different gens. I've noticed over the years that Ford changes their sources for parts and you can tell when the quality suffers. Clips to hold interior moldings for example are weak and break easily in my 2017 Mustang. The car isn't even old, can you imagine how brittle said clips will become after 15 years. They'll become GARBAGE and they will begin to fall apart. Speaking of, stop with the cheap noisy plastic, PLEASE Ford. Great info y'all 👍🏼.
Hi Ford I guess you could be me,I just bought a gmc Sierra Denali reserve 2024,and I have 900 miles on it, and now I'm hearing about rear ends locking up, dropping valves, transmission shifters not working and fuel modules going out,all gmc,all kinds of problems going on. I guess I will see what's next,I have been a gmc Sierra Denali fan boy for year's, but Mary barra head of gmc has sold us out, Ford is the king of recalls, now it's gmc pulling out ahead of Ford, what has happened to American made vehicles, built in Mexico has become synonymous with all vehicles that we buy today, cheap junk, I paid $73,000 out the door for my dream trk,and what now I we will see 👀 what this truck brings down in matantence, pray for me,I'm a disabled Vietnam veteran, and I hope I've got something that will last !!!
I drive the exact same truck, 2001 7.3 4x4. I’ve been thinking about buying a new truck but after seeing what’s going on with these car companies I think I’ll just keep driving it and be satisfied with that.
We delivered electric Ford pickup trucks to the government the carpool boss said they didn't even have chargers for electric trucks our government hard at work😅
Hang on to your money. When Ford has going out of business sale,you'll have money to buy 3 for price of 1. It's funny that most other companies aren't on same bandwagon as Ford and are selling more.
my uncle had a real ford lightning and would blow the doors off anything he ran against the fact that they stuck a name on it and expected people to want that thing and the mustang was a huge insult your basically calling your customers dumb ass hell thats why no one is buying those things
Ok. You can plug it in your regular outlet...the electricity cost is 1/3rd of gas. There's no oil changes, air filter changes etc. You guys are giving bad info. Too bad.
I agree towing is not an ev’s strong point. Gotta tow get a diesel. But I have a 22 model three now has almost 70,000 miles.s on it. But it is crap the lady saying the electric is expensive or the plug is expensive. Know what’s expensive, gas, oil, oil changes, transmission service, head gaskets valve trains, engine failures. Another problem with ice is having to go to a gas station and stand there while you fill it at five times the cost per mile of an ev,. I get up every morning to a “full tank” no need for a gas station. It’s faster, safer and way less likely to catch fire also quiet and quicker. At 74 yrs old my wife and me drove 4000 miles.s round trip to the Grand Canyon in less than 7 days. How tough could it be for us to do that?
You are living in a bubble, burying your head in the sand, last year the number 1 selling car globally was a Tesla Model Y. The whole world loves EV's but they dont like over priced crap ones made by the legacy car guys.
@@stevehayward1854 Not really. Tesla soaked up what EV market there was. I don't care if it was the best selling car, most people still like SUVs above all. The Tesla market is mostly upper middle class people with multiple cars. Teslas are ugly and boring to me.
for a long time, they all should have made them like the Volt or the Karma. You always have that gas engine to fall back on while they are improving the electric side. And they need to make those batteries recyclable.
I am a long time Ford guy, from 73-79 trucks to 78 bronco an several 77 an older broncos , a 65 mustang. A 04 ranger I had lifted as well. And my 2001 super duty. I will not and never got anything new after that..I hate all new ford's. I'll stay with my classics, but if I get anything new. It's going to be a Toyota... and I'll rebuild my super duty before buying a garbage new one..
As a loyal ford owner and ford stock owner this ticks me off to no end! The mach e is NOT a Mustang! We own 4 real ones from a 1988 gt to a 2017 premium! Get rid of the ev! I'm ok with the hybrids but no no no to full electric!
Remember when 'Quality is Job One' at Ford? That was decades ago. Ever since Jim Farley was named CEO, the auto quality is sinking with deep recalls costing millions of dollars 💸. That's why Henry Ford built the Rouge Plant because he wanted total control control of the quality of parts going into his vehicles Ever since the Ford family and Ford executives have outsourced the parts, quality went out the door and into the wind. Ford caused their own present problems because the Ford executives want to spend less on quality products going into their vehicles. Ford has become a word beginning with the letter "F," but now doesn't end with the letter "D". You fill in the last three letters that properly describe the company today. Thanks to Bill Ford Jr.. He did a shitty job running the Lions football club, so he handed the control of the football club to his sister, who is doing a better job than Billy ever could imagine. Now Ford Motor is in deep s**t. 😢
This quite possibly the dumbest report I have seen this month....and friends that is saying something. I expect nothing else from "adults" who go around with backwards baseball caps and skipped class.
Brake failure or excessive wear on an EV? My Toyota uses the hybrid for braking and battery charging. They should go 100K easily. The friction brakes are used about enough to keep them from rusting. 42.5 MPG lifetime Oh, and AWD is standard issue with the hybrid package
Yeah. That part of the presentation is a flat out lie. I have a lightning with one pedal drive, which means when you take the foot off the gas pedal, it gradually brings the vehicle to a stop using regenerative braking, avoiding use of the brakes, while simultaneously charging the battery. This feature reduces wear on brakes, which makes they will last much longer.
Are you forgetting that ICE engines also degrade, and I mean a lot, a lot faster than battery degradation, there are batteries still going strong after 500,000 miles with no maintenance. MG even warranty their batteries for life, could you give the same warranty to an ICE without servicing it, I think not. You have been brainwashed by the Big Oil and Legacy Car industry propaganda/lobbying
Yes and the problem with battery degradation is (a) it is inevitable since the design life of the batteries is roughly 15 years assuming normal driving patterns (b) once the battery degrades significantly, the entire car is junk because of the replacement cost.
@ A) Yeah, no. They are finding out these batteries can last beyond 200,000mi before they need replacing.... Which is about the same lifespan as most ice vehicles. B) batteries are still pretty useful well beyond EV use. Most can be reused for utility use or home backup power.
First most of us don't want electric cars second I sure the hell don't want any Chinese made electric fire mobile anywhere near my family property or friends
EV’s work well for some people, but for now the majority of buyers want ICE vehicles. As time goes on and the technology gets better, along with electric grids that finally get updated, more buyers will consider an electric vehicle. Farley should buy a few more and have some of his engineers study them. Remember when we underestimated small cars from Japan? Let’s not let that happen again.
The narcissism and greed of the auto industry played itself...
Apparently you don't know what's been going on in Washington, DC and Sacramento, CA for the past 40 years. You're being played.
Shame on Ford, Farley and the board of directors. After 50 years of being a loyal Ford customer i am done. Farley says cars are boring- real nice comment from the CEO.

No
Who cares? At least they didn't kill the ICE Mustang
These companies all looked at Tesla and thought they could replicate it. The mistake they made is that a Ford buyer is not a Tesla buyer.
All garbage vehicles anymore. Don't worry about quality or reliability, we want your money!!
That's right. Why blame China? Their EVs are not even here yet. Whatever trouble is created here not there.

Side note, good to see your sister back, ;-)
They should pay more to their union leaders that in turn pocket those funds and or finance failed loser democrats.
I am leasing a Lighting for over $500 a month with no money down. At the end of my lease, if I buy it, my total payout ia $58K. I am saving $2500 a year charging vs buying gas. I have no engine, transmission or exhaust to maintain/repair or replace. I dont care to hear a noisy engine. I enjoy the quiet. And 0 to 60 in 4 seconds is pretty nice when you need it.
who is your electric co to be able to save $2500 vs gas?
@gradylucas5265 My electric.company charges 10.3 cents per kwh
Once the tax credits are out this nonesense will stop. Only Tesla will remain as EV manufacturer and Ford and Chevy can go back to American muscle. Otherwise they just gonna die as a company.
I am not a fan of EV to many problems. Don't like Ev being push down are throats.
They kept the V8 muscle car when others didn't plus Trump is back in office so I think your over thinking this.
The issue that all of the big 3 need to look at is the fact that they have totally abandoned the people that made them profitable all of these years. The people that need an dependable but affordable vehicle. $40,000 and up is not in the budget of more than half of the country. Start building good affordable vehicles for the everyday people. The market is there.
EVs are not the clean vehicles they are advertised to be.
NOBODY CARES...
Trumps sanctions are comming! 😂😂😂👍🏼
Bye bye Fo Mo Co! I’ll not support them. They think they are loosing money now, just wait!
Ford dealers over charged for EVs. Lightning was to sell for 50 thousand came to market for 90 if you could find one.
There's plenty on the lots, it's just that they don't make sense from a cost or resale perspective.
If you buy an F250 with the diesel engine, you can drive it for 10 years and probably sell it for what you paid for it originally.
Farley is an idiot Ford is going down they won't even honor their warranties anymore I'm speaking from personal experience family-owned Ford dealership for years 62-year-old loyal Ford owner no longer! 😢
The CEO of Ford looks like Chris Farley's brother
They actually are cousins believe it or not.
Fat guy In a little coat
@@cwqrpportable I guess you never saw Tommy boy with Chris Farley? Lol
This dude needs to go.
Tell ford we don't want ÷EV😊
If you have an electric dryer in your home, you already have the plug outlet you need. Why is FORD not importiing the Explorer and Capri EVs from Germany?
The Mach E needs to be a better car with better software and integration, and better more available charging. Good electric cars are selling well in certain markets but almost good cars don't sell well anywhere.
Well said. No lack of demand for compelling EVs stacked with features at affordable prices
he looks like a Chris Farley from Tommy Boy.
It’s how you learn, China EV is years ahead of anything made in America, yes including Tesla. Americans continue to fight for big oil while the rest of the world has moved on years ago.
Yeah I like those Chinese made products there's a lot of shortcuts .
If Ford looks for more ways to cost cuts with where they source their parts, we the consumer will suffer for it. I'm a Mustang guy through and through and have had 4 different gens. I've noticed over the years that Ford changes their sources for parts and you can tell when the quality suffers. Clips to hold interior moldings for example are weak and break easily in my 2017 Mustang. The car isn't even old, can you imagine how brittle said clips will become after 15 years. They'll become GARBAGE and they will begin to fall apart. Speaking of, stop with the cheap noisy plastic, PLEASE Ford.
Great info y'all 👍🏼.
Hi Ford
I guess you could be me,I just bought a gmc Sierra Denali reserve 2024,and I have 900 miles on it, and now I'm hearing about rear ends locking up, dropping valves, transmission shifters not working and fuel modules going out,all gmc,all kinds of problems going on. I guess I will see what's next,I have been a gmc Sierra Denali fan boy for year's, but Mary barra head of gmc has sold us out, Ford is the king of recalls, now it's gmc pulling out ahead of Ford, what has happened to American made vehicles, built in Mexico has become synonymous with all vehicles that we buy today, cheap junk, I paid $73,000 out the door for my dream trk,and what now I we will see 👀 what this truck brings down in matantence, pray for me,I'm a disabled Vietnam veteran, and I hope I've got something that will last !!!
WTF he needs to go!!! I drive a 2001 F-250 with a 7.3, no EV for me!!!
I drive the exact same truck, 2001 7.3 4x4. I’ve been thinking about buying a new truck but after seeing what’s going on with these car companies I think I’ll just keep driving it and be satisfied with that.
They should just make a two door, long bed, electric Maverick. That makes sense to me.
We delivered electric Ford pickup trucks to the government the carpool boss said they didn't even have chargers for electric trucks our government hard at work😅
Sad part ford CEO is driving a $40,000 Chinese electric car that outperforms any American EV.
I don't believe its better than a Tesla Model S Plaid, the fastest/ quickest American car made. prove me wrong.
I thought she was your wife you told me it was your sister but anyway I'm glad you bring her on for the interview she sounds very professional
Hang on to your money. When Ford has going out of business sale,you'll have money to buy 3 for price of 1. It's funny that most other companies aren't on same bandwagon as Ford and are selling more.
...and who is going to repair that crap??
@D3M0ify like a Timex - junk it.
As a Ford Lincoln tech and with consensus with my colleagues we hate Jim Farley and the direction of the company.
my uncle had a real ford lightning and would blow the doors off anything he ran against the fact that they stuck a name on it and expected people to want that thing and the mustang was a huge insult your basically calling your customers dumb ass hell thats why no one is buying those things
The Tesla Cyber Truck was quicker than a Porsche 911 while towing another Porsche 911.
@@dennispolack4370 Fake Video
Next to what jaguar is doing, calling the Mach-E a Mustang will be the dumbest thing any Auto company has ever done.
Ok. You can plug it in your regular outlet...the electricity cost is 1/3rd of gas. There's no oil changes, air filter changes etc. You guys are giving bad info. Too bad.
Till it burns your house down or you need a new batt that cost more than car is worth in 10 years
@williampearson9772 those are all ridiculous old tropes.
@williampearson9772 best car ever owned. Batteries at 5 grand how much is a motor?
@williampearson9772 what are you 80 years old?
I agree towing is not an ev’s strong point. Gotta tow get a diesel. But I have a 22 model three now has almost 70,000 miles.s on it. But it is crap the lady saying the electric is expensive or the plug is expensive. Know what’s expensive, gas, oil, oil changes, transmission service, head gaskets valve trains, engine failures. Another problem with ice is having to go to a gas station and stand there while you fill it at five times the cost per mile of an ev,. I get up every morning to a “full tank” no need for a gas station. It’s faster, safer and way less likely to catch fire also quiet and quicker. At 74 yrs old my wife and me drove 4000 miles.s round trip to the Grand Canyon in less than 7 days. How tough could it be for us to do that?
This is great news
I hope all these dealers go under ..They all have been taking advantage way too long
Yeah, government bailouts again I guess. Nobody can stand EVs.
You are living in a bubble, burying your head in the sand, last year the number 1 selling car globally was a Tesla Model Y.
The whole world loves EV's but they dont like over priced crap ones made by the legacy car guys.
@@stevehayward1854 Not really. Tesla soaked up what EV market there was. I don't care if it was the best selling car, most people still like SUVs above all. The Tesla market is mostly upper middle class people with multiple cars. Teslas are ugly and boring to me.
Your dumb millions of people hate electric cars, only pussys buy electric cars@@stevehayward1854
Gas cars have gotten lots of bailouts, seems only fair EVs get one
for a long time, they all should have made them like the Volt or the Karma. You always have that gas engine to fall back on while they are improving the electric side. And they need to make those batteries recyclable.
Japanese brands started making cars in US. American brands started making cars in Asia. Interesting
I am a long time Ford guy, from 73-79 trucks to 78 bronco an several 77 an older broncos , a 65 mustang. A 04 ranger I had lifted as well. And my 2001 super duty. I will not and never got anything new after that..I hate all new ford's. I'll stay with my classics, but if I get anything new. It's going to be a Toyota... and I'll rebuild my super duty before buying a garbage new one..
Who wants an electric vehicle? There aren't enough charging stations across the country and the lack power!
New charging stations are popping up daily.
Get rid of Farley.
Get rid of Farley and bring back Alan Mulally as Ford CEO !
sales are slow, but dealers refuse to sell them at a reasonable price. I love the Mach E, and I want to buy one.
As a loyal ford owner and ford stock owner this ticks me off to no end! The mach e is NOT a Mustang! We own 4 real ones from a 1988 gt to a 2017 premium! Get rid of the ev! I'm ok with the hybrids but no no no to full electric!
Remember when 'Quality is Job One' at Ford? That was decades ago. Ever since Jim Farley was named CEO, the auto quality is sinking with deep recalls costing millions of dollars 💸.
That's why Henry Ford built the Rouge Plant because he wanted total control control of the quality of parts going into his vehicles
Ever since the Ford family and Ford executives have outsourced the parts, quality went out the door and into the wind. Ford caused their own present problems because the Ford executives want to spend less on quality products going into their vehicles. Ford has become a word beginning with the letter "F," but now doesn't end with the letter "D". You fill in the last three letters that properly describe the company today. Thanks to Bill Ford Jr..
He did a shitty job running the Lions football club, so he handed the control of the football club to his sister, who is doing a better job than Billy ever could imagine. Now Ford Motor is in deep s**t. 😢
It says a lot when the CEO of Ford is driving a Chinese vehicle. You have to ask yourself why isn’t he driving a mach E or f150 lightning?
I have been a ford guy since 1989. Only ford pickups. But that may change. Management is destroying the company.
Jimmy is heading to Boeing for media ceo , after he destroyed Ford .
Farley needs fired immediately 😮
This quite possibly the dumbest report I have seen this month....and friends that is saying something. I expect nothing else from "adults" who go around with backwards baseball caps and skipped class.
Your mom enjoyed my report last night.
Brake failure or excessive wear on an EV? My Toyota uses the hybrid for braking and battery charging. They should go 100K easily. The friction brakes are used about enough to keep them from rusting. 42.5 MPG lifetime
Oh, and AWD is standard issue with the hybrid package
Yeah. That part of the presentation is a flat out lie. I have a lightning with one pedal drive, which means when you take the foot off the gas pedal, it gradually brings the vehicle to a stop using regenerative braking, avoiding use of the brakes, while simultaneously charging the battery. This feature reduces wear on brakes, which makes they will last much longer.
The Ford CEO is for sure related to Carlos Tavares.
He is comedian Chris Farley’s first cousin actually.
Don't forget about battery degradation.
Are you forgetting that ICE engines also degrade, and I mean a lot, a lot faster than battery degradation, there are batteries still going strong after 500,000 miles with no maintenance. MG even warranty their batteries for life, could you give the same warranty to an ICE without servicing it, I think not. You have been brainwashed by the Big Oil and Legacy Car industry propaganda/lobbying
Not as bad as you think it is.
Likes like stating don't forget your vehicle vehicle will lose mpg the older it gets.
Yes and the problem with battery degradation is (a) it is inevitable since the design life of the batteries is roughly 15 years assuming normal driving patterns (b) once the battery degrades significantly, the entire car is junk because of the replacement cost.
@@thegreatempire3882 Cars do not get lower mpg as they get older.
@
A) Yeah, no. They are finding out these batteries can last beyond 200,000mi before they need replacing.... Which is about the same lifespan as most ice vehicles.
B) batteries are still pretty useful well beyond EV use. Most can be reused for utility use or home backup power.
First most of us don't want electric cars second I sure the hell don't want any Chinese made electric fire mobile anywhere near my family property or friends
I guess CEOs should never buy a competitor unit to compare. 🙄
EV’s work well for some people, but for now the majority of buyers want ICE vehicles. As time goes on and the technology gets better, along with electric grids that finally get updated, more buyers will consider an electric vehicle. Farley should buy a few more and have some of his engineers study them. Remember when we underestimated small cars from Japan? Let’s not let that happen again.
