- CEO Jim Farley drove a Xiaomi SU7 for six months to study the competition, but ordinary U.S. buyers currently cannot purchase the model because of tariffs and technology restrictions.
- The electric pickup announced for 2027 is planned to start at $30,000 in Louisville, while the F-150 Lightning Pro starts at about $55,000.
- Ford says the new pickup will use 20 percent fewer parts and half as many cooling hoses, while the new production system is intended to accelerate output by up to 15 percent.
- The plan is considered difficult because China has government subsidies, extensive engineering capacity, advanced battery technology and low labor costs, while U.S. electric-vehicle incentives have been cut.
And if we lose this, we do not have a future at Ford.— Jim Farley, Ford CEO, discussing Ford's prospects in the context of global competition with China; quoted in The Atlantic article The American Car Industry Can’t Go On Like This
