Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Ford is running out of cash, selling off historic assets, jobs are not safe

From the Freep:
For the first time ever, Ford to sell a car from its private vault to the public
Ford Motor Co. is opening its private vault of vehicles, for the first time ever, to sell a rare supercar to the public at auction.

The plan is to use all of the money raised from the auction of the car to renovate and maintain the other vehicles in Ford's Heritage Fleet as well as prepare its GT collection in England for Le Mans next year. Also, Ford said this may be the first of other cars in the fleet to be offered to the public for purchase, the automaker said on Oct. 13.

@g1 I would personally love a robot. I would like to simply have all blockers in life removed, and be able to just focus on what I am interested in at hand. I can do deep focus for very long periods of time and sometimes don't even check my phone until night-time, this could become problematic when it comes to staying connected to others and also maintaining upkeep. I'm excited for our future because it would allow me to not stress or worry as much about menial tasks. I always have to try and compensate by trying to find something good to listen to, whether that is music to get me in the mood or a podcast. Robots are indeed the future. Exciting times

Weird interpretation of a fact set. Ford is selling off redundant models. Why hold Ford GT No. 3 Production when you already have No. 1 and No. 2? The company is investing in refurbishment of vintage vehicles to prep for LeMans. To suggest selling a handful of cars from a fleet of ~ 500 because the company is broke seems silly.

Ford liquidation can be beneficial. Elon Musk's potential acquisition of Ford land to build robot factories could revitalize Detroit, transforming the rotten city it into a hub for innovation. With AI advancements, we might see robots becoming an integral part of everyday life, potentially leading to a future where robots are in every home. Detroit become a human!

@OP the Heritage fleet is self funded so if they need to do that to stay in the black, so be it
