Tesla will release a semi, a pickup, and a convertible roadster

[Cynic]

FORD IS FINE. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THE AUTOMAKER'S ARE ABOUT TO FACE IS THE RAPID RETURN OF THEIR LEASED VEHICLES INTO THE USED CAR MARKET. THERE IS GOING TO BE A DRASTIC DOWNTURN IN CAR PRICING SOON. TOO MANY LEASED VEHICLES IN THE LAST 2-3 YEARS. THEY'RE GOING TO HIT THE MARKET AND KILL THE PRICING. THE DEALERS ARE TRYING TO FIGHT IT BUY RAISING THE PRICES ON LEASES BUT TOO LITTLE TOO LATE IF YOU ASK ME.

Pension liabilities, Trump policies, thin margins, declining youth consumerbase, heavy R&D and a falling share price

Ford is fine

Ford is fine

FORD'S STOCK HAS BEEN BETWEEN 11-13 BUCKS FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. IT DOESN'T MOVE VERY FAR FROM THAT NUMBER.

NOTHING TRUMP HAS DONE HAS REALLY HURT FORD AT THIS POINT.

THE MARGINS AREN'T REALLY THAT BAD AT THIS POINT. THE HARDEST PILL TO SWALLOW IS THE DEVELOPMENT ASPECT AND THE RESTRICTIONS FROM THE EPA. BOTH ARE FAIRLY MANAGEABLE RIGHT NOW. THE UGLY BUMP EVERYBODY IS KEEPING THEIR EYE ON IS THE 2021 DEADLINE FOR EPA STANDARDS. THAT NUMBER IS NOT REACHABLE AND THEY'RE HOPING THERE WILL BE SOME WIGGLE ROOM PROVIDED. THE GOVERNMENT PULLED THAT NUMBER OUT OF THEIR ASSES AND IT ISN'T VIABLE. I THINK THEY KNEW THAT ALSO. THEY WILL HAVE TO REVISIT THAT AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

I CAN'T SPEAK ON PENSIONS BUT IT'S NO DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER COMPANY WITH PENSIONS.

CRAIG FIKE IS A PENNY PINCHER. WHEN MARSHA WINEGARDEN STEPPED DOWN FORD REINED IN A LOT OF SPENDING. IT WILL BE FINE.

COMPANIES DO IT EVERYDAY. FORD JUST RELEASED THE CONTINENTAL TO COMPETE IN A MARKET WHERE FORD IS WAY BEHIND. THE CONTINENTAL IS A WAY OVERPRICED BAD CAR COMPARED TO IT'S COMPETITION. THAT PICKUP WILL EITHER BE A WAY OVERPRICED PICKUP THAT CAN DO THE SAME THINGS AS GAS TRUCKS OR IT WILL BE A NORMALLY PRICED PIECE OF shyt TRUCK THAT CAN'T HAUL ANYTHING. WITH CURRENT TECHNOLOGY IT CAN'T COMPETE IN ANY FASHION.

Based on the track record of Tesla....we shall see
