Ford to cut 14% of European jobs, blaming EV shift and rising competition

The Mustang EV seemed nice until I read about all the issues with that shoddy door ... I don't know what to call it... "entry system"? I would have preferred a decent BEV with a simple door handle that's proven to work in all (weather)) conditions. Not a car where I have to negotiate if I'm able to use it, or not, even before entering it.

This seems self inflicted to me. Detroit is far behind the industry leaders on EVs, and they’re pushing high-end trims with non-differentiated form factors.<p>Ford has the F-150, which is uniquely practical, but I doubt they’ll sell many in Europe.<p>I’m surprised there hasn’t been a land grab with different manufacturers racing to ship models that match their core competencies.<p>For example, Stellantis has a plug in hybrid jeep, but if you want an EV for off roading your only choice is Rivian. Where are land rover and range rover?

They will become a domestic brand protected by tariffs and laws. Jim Farley said it while discussing Chinese Auto manufacturers and their global rise.

They can’t compete with byd. Doubtful any auto company reasonably can.
