My guess is Jim Farley will come out with some other big announcement about something completely irrelevant to this issue. Anything to deflect problems.
Maybe he'll expand on that whole "selling directly to the consumer" thing.
I think that could happen for their electric vehicles. It would make sense to break it away from ford to better compete with Tesla and Rivian. The lots around here are filling up with Mustang Mach E’s and to a lesser extent the ford lightning. Dealers won’t budge on the price and the Mustang is already overpriced compared to the tesla counterparts. I think the lightning is in a similar situation with the Rivian truck. I wouldn’t be surprised if the second generation lightning is sold exclusively online although I think that’s a couple years away.
Not an expert. JMHO.
