Farley: And if we lose this, we do not have a future of Ford.

It’s the most humbling thing I’ve ever seen.

Seventy percent of all EVs in the world,
electric vehicles, are made in China.

They have far superior in-vehicle technology.

Huawei and Xiaomi are in every car.

They have facial recognition.
Cell phone technology. Yes. Yes.
Connected to their cell phones. Yes.

You get in, you don’t have to pair your phone automatically. Your whole digital life comes, is mirrored in the car.

You have an AI companion that you can talk to Chat, ChatGPT, equivalent in China to yours.

All the automatic payment is already there.

You can buy movie tickets.

It has facial recognition, so it knows who’s in which seat and which media you like.

Wait, why don’t Ford cars have that?

Would you need to go with Apple or…?

Yeah, because Google and Apple decided not to go in the car business.

And even beyond that, their cost, their quality of their vehicles is far superior
to what I see in the West.

I mean, we are—
we are—
we are in a global competition with China,
and it’s not just EVs.

And if we lose this, we do not have a future of Ford.

@cv one more day and the word changes forever

Jim Xi Farley

I’ve read the TikTok comments in that video. OMG, so many people are clueless, but think they know what is best. Perhaps they should go and live in China!!!

@cv Doug, you know you get paid too much to be on here right?

Toyota didn't jump on the delusional EV train as fast as F/GM/FCA now did they?

@d3 df is just a conman fraud who makes false promises to get talent in the door.

Locks the door after

@cv if there was anything of substance they would name and claim it. It’s just a marketing ploy while they scramble to come up with something.

Meanwhile at Toyota their first solid-state battery is expected to offer a 621-mile driving range with an 80 percent fast charging time of just around 10 minutes. They have negotiated the manufacturing and materials and will be producing in 2027-2028.

Ford=cart before the horse
Toyota=horse before the cart

DF+JF=shining examples of Dunning-Kruger effect

You are are totally missing the intent. JF (and DF) are releasing statements like this in preparation of the August 11 event where Ford will leap over all the competitor's tech including China.

The landscape of the future of mobility will shift, with Ford in the lead just days from now.

Maybe if Ford hadn’t spent the last 15 years reinventing how to remote start a vehicle half a dozen times.

If Ford vehicles ever do all that I'll never buy one. I want my car to get me from point A to point B. The rest of the cr-p the OP routed? Stupid garbage nobody needs.

It’s over!!! Forget chineses EV , Japanese EVs will lead Sony-Honda coming soon, Americans love anything made by Honda or Toyota so another peak for Japanese OEMs coming soon early 26 for sure

Great thing that the decisions and priorities mandated upon us are certainly bolstering morale and making for a motived and engaged workforce, eager to help Ford succeed no matter what it takes.

@a8

Yes. Why do they keep trying to replace people's phones? Calm down, stop it. Its a car.

With Farley as CEO and Bill as Chairman, we do not have a future at Ford.

This just shows how out of touch JF is. What a joke. It’s like having a Grandpa run a tech company. All of these features are no surprise and were available in 2012. I had one of the original Model S’s after I left Ford and friends from Ford treated Tesla like a joke. They did the same with the Chinese EV’s.

The problem is the that Ford values process, not talent.

Ford fires talent because… well… no one really knows for sure why.

But they get replaced by “process”.

@a8 I can tell you are not a spontaneous individual

I don’t want to buy movie tickets in my car.

Is Farley talking to himself in that TikTok? He has totally lost it

Yikes 😳

Hopefully, this will ki-l Ford before it’s management can.

Unfortunately, we are too late. Chinese are 10 years ahead. In 10 years Ford’s market share will decrease, globally they will be like Mitsubishi is here in many markets if not gone by then. Ford will be a domestic brand only, competing against the Japanese, Koreans and GM maybe Stellantis but I think they will be on life support.

Chinese are in Australia, South America two of Fords current biggest markets. Asia is declining fast, go to any Asian country and you rarely see a Ford on the road. Dealers are there but a very small percentage compared to 10 to 20 years ago.
