The feedback was that BYD doesn’t need to buy anyone’s existing plants.   Also Ford realises that most of its BEV plans for Europe are underwater but there’s a ray of hope. what’s been revealed with new construction process has breathed fresh life back into what lies just beyond C2’s reach…..   and that’s why Ford is keeping Valencia that is until the plan changes again LOL

Plan B was to exit building cars in Germany and Spain. I've mentioned this before in other thread... the fix was already in if you had been paying attention to what Ford was doing: Move Craiova to Ford Otosan out of control of Ford Europe Cancel Focus so you can close Saarlouis  Cancel Kuga, and replace Transit Connect with rebadged VW Caddy so you can close Valencia Cancel Fiesta, and then mail in the MEB EV so when they inevitably fail, you can shut down Cologne Sell one, two, or all three closed plants to Chinese companies eager to setup production in Europe Restart production in India to export to Europe Fill in other niche products imported from North America and/or China This plan was torn up when Ford abruptly cancelled the restart of production in India... still no explanation from Ford why they pulled the plug. My strong suspicion is BYD didn't want to pay the asking price for Valencia so Ford was forced into keeping the plants open. Which means they didn't need India again.

None of the other car companies selling cars in Europe are struggling as hard as Ford. And they are launching very good EVs that buyers actually want to buy (e.g. see Renault 5)   Coincidentally, they also didn't cancel all their existing vehicles and tell their dealers and customers to F off. 

At this point, I think it's easier to count Ford's EV successes than EV-related failures. Ford management has fumbled the past 5 years in just about every respect, and those failures have bled out into Ford Blue. 

There are two other branding spots... The original "READY SET FORD" spot (1:00) that launched the new campaign and an additional (:30) titled "To Those Who Can Ford". These video files are too large to upload here.

It's unbelievably obvious that Ford made a mistake killing off their hatchbacks and sedans, globally but especially in the European market. Farley should be pushing for more passenger hatchbacks and sedans to make a return to Ford's lineup, which given recent rumors, seems possible. But they never should have killed these models in the first place. The focus and fiesta were icons in Europe. 

Ford Moves World Headquarters but will Ford be able to assimilate to Dearborn?      

Yes, you were correct. These predatory trade practices have been in play for decades. Rare-earth minerals are another huge example. Government subsidies to put competitors around the globe out of business.
