Ford Stock Rises as CEO Confronts ’Shocking’ EV Realities
Ford shares gained modestly Tuesday as CEO Jim Farley revealed startling insights from teardowns of Tesla and Chinese EVs. The legacy automaker discovered its Mustang Mach-E carried 1.6 kilometers more wiring than Tesla's Model 3—adding costly weight and battery requirements.
Farley described the findings as humbling during Ford's push toward a $30,000 EV model slated for 2027. The revelations come as traditional automakers face unprecedented competition from agile electric vehicle specialists.
