I believe this is both true and a little false at the same time. IIRC, Ford didn't take a direct TARP bailout like GM but did receive a sizeable emergency Line of Credit from TARP. Not sure if they ever tapped into the LOC though.

ETA: Not sure who downvoted you, what you said is more facts than not. I gave you the 5th upvote accordingly to distance myself from whatever idiot DV'd you.

Ford stock price dropped to under $10 last November. Looks like it's going there again.

I'll never understand this criticism of car dealers. Yes, they want to charge as much as they can get away with, just like you want to pay as little as you can get away with when buying. When a customer does it it's smart, when a dealer does it it's greedy?

Democrats pushed the EVs or else policy.

Who does the UAW back? Democrats.

I hope they fold.

Ford isn't losing this much just from EVs -- their F-150s and Broncos are ridiculously overpriced -- and specialty vehicles like the Raptors are almost impossible to get -- and if available, are priced 10k to 20k + over MSRP. Try to order a Raptor Ranger and you are looking at 1 year to delivery --or just an F250 and it may take you 3-4 months for delivery.

My 2023 F-150 Tremor had the AC randomly stop with less than 1k miles -- weird clunking sounds under the right side axle -- and on the F-150 forums, this is common.

Ford has manufacturing, inventory, over-valuations, and predatory pricing issues --I could carry on, but EVs are only a small part of the problem.

Both my F-150 ecoboost made 15 mpg -- never hit 20; even on the highway -- wtf is the point of an "ecoboost" if doesn't deliver good gas mileage. My V8s performed about the same with mpg.

Ford has never taken a loan from the government in its history. It is the only American car manufacturer besides Tesla that can say that.
