Correct, inventory at 173K is pretty skinny considering Ford likes to run around 220-250k max
Even with sales just under 48K, ford is prioritising builds to the more profitable, fast moving versions.
Maybe need to see the quarter result but definitely down about 10,000 last month vs Jan 2025.
The US is going through an unpresented growth in energy requirements for manufacturing and AI, so I don't think their will be too much an issue in selling batteries to people for energy storage.

Hey Texasorta,
So thinking this through, Ford sees a big market for battery production but,
If Tesla is already heavily engaged in supplying industrial batteries, will there be enough buyers for Ford?
Except they'll have to make some sort of announcement because they have a more updated version than we did, so unless the updated one just shows up at dealerships, they'll have to say something...
What's with the big random "7" trim piece on the d-pillar?? Just looks out of place.
The annoying thing is that some of them would be ok if they just made them 5-spoke designs instead of the ugly 4-spoke.
Hyundai seems to be the only one going "all in" on the 80s look.
I don't recall Ford/Lincoln actually stating that production would end-they might just do a wink/nod thing and not really play up the fact it would be coming from China?
