What they are doing over here is completely insane indeed. But in Ford's defense what’s also factoring in is of course the fact that the Euro-Dollar exchange rate has dropped about 8% between 2015 and 2023. And I would not be surprised if Ford Europe is simply forwarding at least a part of the...
Ford are actually profitable by themselves but they lost their shirts on liquidating their Rivian shares in 2022. They took a 7.3 Billion $ write off on that. This is one of the remains of the gigantic mess that Jim Hackett left behind which Jim Farley now has the unthankful task to clean up...
2023 prices in the Netherlands range from EUR 115.000 for a Fastback automatic to EUR 132.000 for a Mach-1 manual. This includes 21% sales tax and an emission tax, which ranges from EUR 57.000 up to EUR 71.000, depending on the specification. So over 50% of our out the door price is taxes. We...

All pre-production S650 cars that are currently running around were most likely built on the...
If I recall correctly Job 1 production of the S550 also started a few weeks earlier than planned in 2014. Apparently they plan the start date with some extra margin, which they can cancel if there are no setbacks.
Offtopic but interesting nevertheless is that the current F150 Lightning will run for less than 4 years after which apparently a new generation will already appear with a new platform.
The problem here is that the people who are currently in charge of product development at Ford are idiots. First they create an electric minivan and call it a Mustang and now they think S650 Mustang buyers are millennials who do nothing but play games all day and < quote > want an interior...
