Ford CEO - Americans need to “get back in love” with small cars

[Sprintey]

At present - West Coast beginning counting - it's looking like Trump will win US election

That will throw cat amongst pigeons of EV policy in the states.

[FTE217]

I'm gonna LOL my chops off I tell you if so.

[Sprintey]

Start chuckling cos here's the day 1 agenda and it can be done by executive order:

Wildcard is Elon getting close to Donny, Tesla will probably get special treatment.

[FTE217]

its a damn mighty HOOT !
What a friggin win - Elon made the call long call ago backing the horse he knew would agree making a special under the table agreement no doubt about it.
Never know what it is but you can bet his brand will have Import protection of some kind and other EV competitors not.

[Sprintey]

Yep it might be tied to 'so long as you build it in America'.

They're going to drill on day 1.

Also, this win is bigger than the 1980 Reagan win apparently - look what happened to all the late 1970s green tech developed under Carter, and what happened with oil, when that occurred.

In the end Farley's still an Idiot!
Still talking crap about how good EV sales are while repurposing a plant in Canada from building EV's to F350's & shutting down another shift for EV's in Michigan
Never seen a CEO with less vision

So does the average onlyfans 'model' on the Gold Coast, quest is probably going to still be in his job in 12 months where as Jim Farley will be ousted and onto his next company to ruin because Ford CEO's never seem to go the distance before being replaced

if we determine whose an idiot by income then that puts this entire forum somewhere below that Mensa candidate Kanye West and all our politicians in Canberra.

Franco (or your real name), you need to get a girlfriend, just saying.

[Citroënbender]

I’ve offered to set him up with a friend of a friend.

Well we were shocked when our family friend “Joel” came out but each to their own I guess.

I just borrow yours from time to time, the older the chook the better the soup.

Great idea, since you've offered we can go looking for my future ex wife together,

...told you, old

Five months later I ended up ordering a Mazda3 G25 Evolve SP Sedan, 2.5 litre/6sp auto...

The manual gearbox in the i30 is fine out my way, it's no good in suburbia if you have ligament issues with your left knee.

I haven't picked it up yet, maybe sometime next week...

One imagines if Ford still made hatches you'd have purchased Ford hatches instead of Hyundai and Mazda hatches post Fiesta ST

The new car is a sedan but yes

The Mazda3 hatch is nice but I wanted the extra boot space for suitcases…

Sold all my shares in Ford when they started talking billions investment in EV's.
Used the money to buy Nvidia.
The return numbers say I'm not an idiot
Then again I may be an idiot for buying Ford shares in the first place

If he were an idiot and I don't think he is, it's not the one being paid highly that's the problem, it's the one/or company board agreeing to pay them highly that's the real root cause of the problem.
