Lots of "we should" comments from all leaders. Not one of them took any responsibility for the current mess.

LMAO let’s look into early dominos
Goodbye Model e. You worthless piece of cr-p.
Take Dougie Bunny Slippers with you.
It is scrapped. Announcement imminent.
"Is FNV4 scrapped now?" Does anyone with any scope of awareness on anything related to it think that it isn't? Continuing down that route would be such a disaster, I don't see how it isn't. But whatever....
When the working levels do not follow the directives that Ford leadership cascades, situations that are less than optimal for the company are the result. It is disingenuous to blame Ford leaders.
It’s frustrating when leaders point fingers instead of taking accountability. This article dives deeper into the broader context behind leadership decisions and how they impact the Ford-UAW negotiations. If you want to understand what’s fueling the tension and whether Ford workers will join the looming mega-strike, this is a must-read.

If it is going to be scraped, then a bunch of people (selected by rock paper scissor) will be kicked out. This will include some who genuinely deserve it but unfortunately some good experts too. And the knowledges, mistakes, learnings will be lost.
Then in the next iteration, they will hire another bunch of engineers for the next gen design, they will go through the same mistake, same learnings again, same quality struggle and the cycle of poor quality continues.
Ford will always have quality issue if they keep doing this over and over.
Gradual improvement on a product requires knowledge of goods and bads of the existing ones and then work on the bads.
I don't see how throwing current people out and bringing in new heads helps quality.
I knew FNV4 was doomed right from the start. The vehicle engineers wanted to use unshielded Ethernet cable in the vehicle to save weight and money! We immediately told them that unshielded would essentially mean that the vehicle's network would be so slow it would become unusable.
So it wasn't just software engineers that were the problem here. Ford has laid off or driven away all the employees that had a brain. What's left are the overpaid FnF that couldn't deliver if you gave it to them!
Our engineering teams should be driving for Uber, not designing next Gen vehicles.
@2ylb+1v3lE5mB. FNV4 would be on schedule and functioning if we didn't have DF's "leadership."
Post ID: @2ylb+1v3lE5mB
Be rest assured DF has a solid plan for Model e. Don't be discouraged by posts made in this forum.
Regarding FNV4, first it was delayed, then program was scrapped and now it is again delayed! I doubt F continues to fund it if it is so far behind schedule.
Jesus Christ this company can't make anymore these days. All these California execs are just clueless losers milking whatever is left of the company. They forced all the OGs to retire now stuck with blood su-king vermons who only promise but never deliver.
I don't think it's jealousy I think it's disgust and contempt at their incompetence
@1keh+1v3lE5mB your comment proves a point! Rank does not mean you know what you are doing!!!!
"Is FNV4 scrapped now?"
This is the only question of substance that really matters here. All the rest is useless noise.
"jealous of Ford leadership ranks."
Ha ha
Off course.. 10M+ for not making any decisions. We are all jealous.
A lot of people in these forums are jealous of Ford leadership ranks.
"I missed it. What were discussion topics "
something like: We did amazing stuff
Keep focus and keep doing amazing
Sorry, we can not tell you what we have planned. keep focus. End of town hall. No questions taken..
If course it's the low level employees who can't live up the leadership's brilliant vision.
I'm so disappointed in myself 😂
I missed it. What were discussion topics ?
"how might we..."
haha!
Ford leadership has been saying "We should have" for many years. That is why we are always behind our competitors by 5 years.
Should means you regretted. It's too late.
@dpc+1v3lE5mB - right, everybody in sh-t and only me in all white on the white horse
We wouldn’t be in this situation if the SW developers would do their job. They are just sitting at home tugging it. The only web site they are visiting has hub in the name but doesn’t start with git.
I don't understand as well. Is it just a rename, or will there be substantial changes in the technology/implementation?
Is FNV4 scrapped now?
As expected...
