Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Farley and Model e departing? Take Ford Next with them…

I saw a comment somewhere that the expectation is Farley will depart early 2024 and the Model e group gets dissolved. This would make sense since the EV plans are not happening and breaking out the financials just amplifies that. I noticed in the SEC filing that nor only is Model e losing big money, also Ford Next. And the revenue for Ford next dropped from an alleged $120 million first nine months of 2022 down to only $2 million first nine months of 2023, and they’ve already lost $87 million in 2023.

Where is the accountability to shareholders for producing profits? I don’t see any thing improving until there is significant change at the top of this organization.

Always a one time accounting charge to write something down. Visteon, Junkyards, Precious metals, UAW Healthcare, Jaguar...you name it.. they love doing those one time accounting adjustments... So glad I am retired..

Model e won't be dissolved but their budget will be slashed by over 50%.

All we need to do to improve 2024 profits by $5 Billion is eliminate Model e and Ford Next. Easy as that!

BEV plans are happening and are key to Ford's future in mobility. Why do you want to hope for failure for your own company, assuming you even work for Ford.

Model e was said to be treated as a startup and no startup is profitable during the build phase. It would do you wonders to read the Ford+ transformation plan in its entirety off-line since you aren't listening in the live Town Hall's.

This what happens when a company focus is political and not business!!

Wish it was true JF moving out but will not believe until he's gone. Governemnt is still pushing EV's along with companies who are woke and not focused on business.

Farley will "elect to retire", along with his golden parachute.
