Ford needed to become a platform of its own to rival the likes of Google, Apple, and sometimes Microsoft. With Spacelink and Twitter, Telsa is situated to do just that. Sadly, I never witnessed Ford IT 10x anything and they snap at you if you challenge them to try. This type of apathy is a reflection of terrible leadership.

This is fords next Firestone tire incident. If it takes 6000 gallons to extinguish a Tesla and they have to dig a pit to throw it in will it be the same for ford better or worse? Ford my advice…stop throwing you money in the garbage by wasting it in EV, just invest that money in an index fund. Lawsuits galore when someone will be injured or ki-led or their house catches on fire.
"Save your snarky remarks for...Tesla's substandard quality in the EV space." Considering DF brings nothing to Ford other than copying Tesla, it is time to recognize he is not the leader Ford needs.
“We didn’t know that our wiring harness for Mach-E was 1.6 kilometers longer than it needed to be. We didn’t know it’s 70 pounds heavier and that that’s [cost an extra] $300 a battery,” he said on a call with investors Thursday. “We didn’t know that we underinvested in braking technology to save on the battery size.”
Retaining good engineers could have solved this in advance, nothing Farley is capable of doing will fix any of our problems.

Okay if he wasnt there can you ask him not to bag the millions he pocketed as bonus?
Doug Field was not at Ford during the time his expertise could have benefited the Mach-e program. Save your snarky remarks for gm's second rate EV's and Tesla's substandard quality in the EV space.
That wire is DF's idea to connect vehicles in the cloud. lol
