Here's why we swapped small cars, sedans, and hatchbacks in favor of bigger crossovers, SUVs, and trucks.  Why We Swapped Sedans For SUVs and Trucks (It's the law)    

Just to let all know, lots of kool stuff. Big info curve to digest. You will need a teen to help with the tech. Still flipping between F150 and F450. A couple u turns flipping great. One hard ride , I knew that going in. I think it will take some tine to sink in. All in All  super duty all the  way.

Software defined vehicles are already here as evidenced by Jim Farley admitting that a certain vehicle (F150) has 150 modules in it controlled by software from suppliers. Ford has to go to them and request the proposed changes…. Thats a scary thought and all so Ford could save $500/vehicle.

1. As always, Ford stock will be lower than it should as the voting rights for the stock are controlled by the family, and not by Wall Street investors as they would like it.   2. Wall Street does not like uncertainty. If there is a chance the tariffs are implemented, then they will treat it as bad.   3. They see Ford's lack of profit in EVs will lead to a lack of future investment. Lack of future investment will mean they are behind Chinese competition. A reminder that the Chinese brands are not just in China anymore, but have swarmed emerging markets and are establishing plants in Mexico and Europe too.    Anyone else find it crazy how close Ford is to GM in revenue?!?!

Ok so help me wrap my noodle around this. Yes, the tariffs are a concern, but those were suspended, realistically, they probably won't go into place given the level of pushback they received. Sure, Ford is losing money on evs, but taking corrective action to rectify this in the coming years. They have a robust revenue stream, are making billions of dollars in profit every year, and exceeded analyst expectations for the quarter.    So with all of that in mind, can someone tell me why Ford stock is having it's worst day in 4 or so years right now? Right after I bought in as well in the high 9s. It's like I have the worst luck with timing the market, the first time I invested in the stock market was in mid 2019... Gotta laugh or you'll cry. Hopefully it recovers to the low to mid 10s in the coming weeks.

I think they're going to be similar to the '96 F-150 in that it'll take some getting used to but won't be a massively radical departure like Cybertruck.

That makes sense - I was referring more to the frame, etc.   They're not going to wildly recreate all of that just because it's an EREV - they're going to use it as a starting point and modify from there.

When you push so hard for the lowest possible price you get what you pay for.
