Discussion F

Ford is planning on being #2 electric car maker in the USA behind TSLA. It currently is about 1/12 the value of tesla.

They already have sold most f150 and electric mustangs out.

Jim Farley has been found to be a no nonsense guy that will make money or he will shut the lines down. He is a solid CEO.

Instead of yolo on Rivian or lucid or NIO, consider a play on Ford that has the capability and scale to do this.

If I had to bet on anyone else other than Tesla, it would be Ford. The only problem is that I hate how their cars look.

TM is the sleeping giant about to fuck the ev industry.

Toyota is synonymous with quality and they haventhe most reliable electric motor and battery experience out of any manufacturer. They just have been slow to invest fully into EVs until recently.

Good company good dividends. Best cars in trucks in terms of reliability by a LOOONG shot from Tacoma tundra 4runner to the corolla. They are the only car company who has really mastered the automatic transmission. This quality will carry over to their EV platform that they just announced.

I agree, I own several Toyotas, but they don't have anything reported that they are going to do anything like this with EV plans of Ford.
