DeluxeStang Posted December 14, 2024 Share Posted December 14, 2024 If Trump is smart, he'll leave our current policies in place. But that's a big IF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 14, 2024 Share Posted December 14, 2024 Most of what he says is posturing or negotiating and doesn’t mean it will happen. He’ll use those threats to get something else, I agree with dumping the tax credit, it’s no longer needed. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we get over the rhetoric, the true question will start, what is it that you really want us to do, what moves the needle for you without resorting to tariffs? I smiled when Canada and Mexico threatened to impose tariffs of their own, so they want to charge their own people 25% more for buying American products? I don’t think so, that would be political suicide for those leaders and parties. Agree with dumping tax credits, it’s obscene to throw up to $12,000 at large high $$$ BEVs those are being bought by people who can use a tax credit to reduce their Income tax. Someone on $40k per year can neither afford these vehicles nor fully use the tax credit but that’s a whole other thread…..

Rick73 Posted December 15, 2024 Share Posted December 15, 2024 Seriously, what do they expect Farley to say, as if he has a choice? I mean, would he ever say, no Ford Can’t Deal With Trump Policy Shakeups so our plan is to sit on our hands and watch stock plummet for 4 years? Since no CEO would say that even if true, it makes these types of reports useless, or worse laughable in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in the grand scheme of things they are far better off then say GM when it comes to hybrids or Dodge/Ram/Jeep. The biggest issue is just getting them into more products that don't have a P/HEV setup in them. Ford overall is in decent shape with powertrains till the end of the decade between EV and ICE powertrains. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about Mexican politics but I’m fairly sure the D-bag up north doesn’t GAF about what the people think. Hell, there’s been plenty of discontent within the populace for years now and he still got reelected somehow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
