Farley says Ford is behind in EV (vs. Tesla and China) so Ford can't afford to "walk away from EVs."

Farley just was noted as saying how far ahead Tesla and China for EVs. Might mean that Ford is going to go further into EV design and production.

Letting their expensive EV product wither and age with only more and more decontenting definitely didn't help

The first step and most important thing Ford must do to salvage their EV sales:

And just a couple of years ago, Farley was decrying “commodity vehicles.” If I were an investor, I'd wish he’d pick a lane and drive it for more than 30 seconds.

This back and forth flip flopping in the media is not helping Ford in any way. Farley just needs to keep his mouth shut and do a lot more doing than talking about they need to do it. The EV part of the lightning is not that bad. He needs to show that they can get the software right and have the capability to do timely updates to everyone.

I took a chance on Fords 1st go at EV's believing they would eventually make things right via updates. The verdict is still out on if they are going to do that. I see some progress but then see these flip flop talks and lose hope. The one thing that won't change is that if my lightning does not get the features I was promised by my dealer (pro power with truck off) and some refinement on all the dumb quirks that people have been complaining about for years, I will not take a chance again on Ford's next go around.
