This too shall pass.
Once they get past the warranty issues - they've learned their lesson.
Buy at $13.00 and then hold on for the ride ... especially if you're younger.

They're looking to increase their hybrid offerings, following GM's lead in stepping back from full electric.

They'll be looking for a bailout if the dims stay in charge.

Ford has had more mainstream hybrid offerings long before GM did. Fusion, Escape, etc,

Exactly but they're still going to take a hit covering warranties on the EVs already on the road for the next two years.
They'll do fine in the hybrid market but their bread and butter, at least for now, is going to be their trucks and midsize gas powered models. It's what their loyal customers want and are willing to buy.

Fords quality has been declining immensely over the past two decades. Started with the turbocharging/ecoboost. It’s so bad it appears to be built in obsolescence. During Covid they raped their customers on prices and now they are holding parking lots full of cars they can’t sell because folks are so underwater on their previous purchases and they have squandered money on green investments people do not want.
This was easily predictable.

What car company didn't? Most had add on charge into 2024

The recent recalls on their ICE's hurt their bottom line.

They didn't in 2008.

If they dropped another 10%, they would be in Tesla territory.

$GM to delay opening of EV truck plant in Michigan by 6 months, to Mid-2026 --WSJ
$GM also pushes back release of first Buick EV, which had been planned for 2024
$GM says delays in EV projects are an effort to adjust to consumer demand
Porsche downplaying EVs too
They all see the writing on the wall that people wanted Tesla’s not EVs
Battery cars are just souped up ultra expensive golf carts
The top 10% all bought one to look cool & hip & woke because they have private homes to plug in car each night in private garage / parking lot
The rest of America lives in apartments in big cities without access to EV chargers near their cars or is in bottom 50% who laughs at price tags of battery cars they can't plug in each night anyway
Musk will continue to sell cars but its not $TSLA growth story anymore and $F won't be the only one canceling EV factories

They ridiculed the Toyota guy for going into hybrids. Who is laughing now?

What's with the "$" in front of the ticker symbol? Meaning?

this should have been the play all along, but you know, government.

It could easily go to $2-$5 bucks. That's when you buy and hold all you want, can't lose money.

Weird... It's almost like millions of us saw this coming? How were we so much smarter than the business barons at Ford Motor Company? It was blatant virtue signaling and ESG pandering... No doubt with some pressure from BlackRock.
They probably did not anticipate as negative a hit but they had to take a hit now via their pandering for investment security through BlackRock in the long-term. Just BlackRock "forcing behaviors."
Sad.
