wild how Ford, a car company made by Henry Ford, has tried to brush past the whole "our founder got named dropped in Mein Kampf" and "got the highest award a foreigner can receive (foreigner to Germany) from Hitler" and then decides to burn whatever bridge they started building by supporting yet ANOTHER genocide.

Henry Ford isn't even alive anymore. That company is rotten to its very core.

“Ford estimates they will lose around $4.5 billion making EVs by the end of the year. It’s a good thing that their plant outside of Louisville, Kentucky, generates around $25 billion for them annually making internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks.”

New Ford Electric Explorer 2025 | The Ultimate SUV?

This is the New Ford Explorer Fully Electric SUV! Built in alliance with VW, this SUV utilises their MEB platform that their ID Buzz and ID4 is built on. Its design language upholds it's American-ness though - it's essence (so to speak) It has the look and feel of it's namesake, yet it's been built in Cologne and engineered for UK roads. There are two trims to choose from - the Select or the Premium - and the one we have here is the Premium.

People always complained about Ford choosing to call their electric crossover the Mustang Mach-e, but let’s be real…

In a sea of EVs that are oversimplified or overstyled in bad ways, imo, the Mach-e is one of the best looking crossovers period, not just electric.

And if they were gonna style it like that anyway, then it makes since to call it a Mustang. Even if it looked identical and they slapped a blue oval on it and called it the “Model E,” like they originally patented, it would’ve been kinda weird, no? Like you’d look at that car, and it’d be this sporty, Mustang-esk car that has the most boring branding you’ve ever seen.

That car is obviously styled with the Mustang in mind, and I think it’s for the better. So why NOT call it the Mustang Mach-e?

I think people were just mad at the stigma around this class of vehicle. If Ford would’ve released an electric Mustang coupe, people would’ve been like “cool!” If Ford would’ve released an ICE Mustang SUV, people would’ve been like “Cool!” But make it an electric Mustang SUV? How dare they! This is blasphemous!!

Excerpt from this story from Inside Climate News:

Tesla, you may have heard, is going through a rough patch, and the company represents a large enough share of U.S. electric vehicle sales that its problems could lead to a down year for the entire market.

But that hasn’t happened—at least not yet—partly because several other brands’ EV sales have risen to take the sting out of Tesla’s decline.

Ford is looking especially good, with year-to-date sales through April of 28,252 EVs, an increase of 97 percent from the same period last year. That makes Ford the country’s second-leading EV brand, although Tesla still outsells Ford’s EVs at a rate of about seven to one.

Ford’s shift to an electric future is far from a smooth ride. The company’s EV division posted a $1.3 billion loss in the first quarter, and has a long way to go before this part of the business is profitable. It’s a familiar situation for legacy automakers who must invest billions of dollars for research and development and to retool factories and sometimes need years to see an adequate return on those investments.

Ford’s EV sales surge is being led by the Mustang Mach-E, a crossover SUV, of which 14,482 were sold, an increase of 107 percent, as of April, compared to the prior-year period. The F-150 Lightning pickup also gained momentum with sales of 9,833, an increase of 75 percent. Ford’s other EV, the E-Transit van, had sales of 3,927, an increase of 128 percent.

A lot of the company’s sales gains can be attributed to a price cut for the Mach-E that Ford announced in February. After cuts of $3,100 to $8,100, the model’s prices range from $39,895 to $57,395. (The Mach-E is not eligible for the federal tax credit of up to $7,500 because the model is assembled at a plant in Mexico.)

“The bottom line is that we’re more competitive and doing well in the marketplace,” said John Lawler, Ford’s chief financial officer, speaking about EV sales in an April 24 conference call with analysts.

Ford also is emphasizing gas-electric hybrids as an option for customers. The company sold 56,418 hybrid vehicles as of April, an increase of 47 percent.
