My, the title really kind of buries the lede. He's making a fairly salient point.
It’s weird because I feel like I see a lot of solid points from him on EVs and yet I don’t feel like I see a lot of leadership from Ford in the EV space, and missteps in their rollouts. I’ve driven the Lightning and Mach E, great cars in many ways, but still expensive (although I remember the work truck variant of the Lightning was actually slightly less expensive than a comparable ICE vehicle). They spent a lot of money on electric and then haven’t pushed farther.
It’s one area where I wonder if they would do better as a private company, not beholden to investors who want results this quarter.
All Farley has to do is buy SlateEV.
Slate looks great on paper, and is loved on internet forums, but I really don't think Americans will buy them.
I though Americans would have bought Bollingers in droves but that company was so mismanaged they pissed away a great idea.
Slate sounds great, I love the concept, but I have no idea if the company will last long enough for me to be ready to buy a car again whenever they finally launch.
