Yea, the big shot at MEMA The Vehicle Suppliers Association suggested that it'll probably be a decade or two or three   “In some cases this has been 20 or 30 years in the making, and we’re trying to undo it in a few years. It’s not going to happen that fast.”

It’s going to take time but we have to decouple from China. We have no choice.

But see, those short term losses at Model E is wishful thinking, Jim Farley now admitting that the uptake of BEVs is much slower  than envisaged three years ago. This is an uphill battle and Ford is now realising just how difficult it is to deliver electric vehicles  that enough buyers will embrace.   CE1 is as switch to a more manageable vehicle, a restart that i believe targets people who are interested in Tesla 3 and Y but adds a completely different flavour, one that attracts both business and retail.   For now, big BEVs like T3 pickup and Utility are in the  too hard basket until battery technology and cost improve. The best that T3 was going to do was match EV Silverado ability and most likely, Luke warm sales.

Ah, yes, like the plumbers union filing ULP's over waterless urinals…

Guess that explains why EVs are selling like hot cakes.

Yea, I like private free markets as much as the other guy but government policies like you described are in place in Europe and the U.S. too, it ain’t only them Chinese Commies. And as the American automaker big shots said at the conference, government policies alone aren’t going to save the car industry. Contrary to what the Jen Meiners dude said in the article, government policies alone aren’t going to kill the car industry either. That applies to Europe, America, and Red China.

Too commodity for Farley....

Why do you think there is no fear? Because the government is propping them up.    The CCCP has repeatedly done this in many different sectors that makes it almost impossible for companies that actually have to answer for their failures to stakeholders. See the "Rare" Earths and Solar industries for examples of this.    Its hard to compete against that. 

Well those patent drawings could be the CE1 going by the leaked photos
