Just announced in Detroit free press that one half of ford dealers will not sell any full electric EV vehicles in 2024. Cheers.
Sounds like Ford is having a problem producing a good price competitive product. Hopefully they will figure it out. Maybe a direct to consumer sales model is needed.

Sounds like Ford figured out that they don't have to play the game. None of the EV's are "competitive" it one removes the tax incentives/government subsidies. Every heard of the term ROI? It drives business, as it should.
I don’t know. Some companies seem to be doing well with EV’s. Ford needs to figure it out or risk losing market share.
Companies doing well with EV's only sell EV's. They aren't competing against their own, better selling, ICE products. You only miss market share if there is a market to share. Consumers dictate the market. If demand isn't there, Ford isn't missing anything by letting Tesla sell EV's while everyone else is selling ICE's. If the demand were there Ford would invest more into it. They are smart enough to know that at this time, despite subsidies, demand just isn't there. There is no EV market share to be lost - there is in the ICE market.
