It helps that Ford still has a Ford as Chairman of the Board (Henry Clay Ford, great grandson of Henry Ford). He still likes Farley and/or Henry Clay Ford drove the current situation and clearly does not blame Farley.

I'm PHEV skeptical, but EREV curious. If pivoting to EREVs gets more people driving more miles on electric I'm for it.

Owning Ford is nice. In my opinion owning VTIAX is nicer. Though Ford is up more ytd. Yes, I get there are a bunch of folks that particularly like dividend stocks. Wouldn't even have posted this but we've met so I feel entitled to be snarky. In fact, I still owe you one. Best D.

This doesn't mean they're selling.
Trust me, they are swinging for the fence with that price.

The Oneida Nation has some used Tesla’s listed for <$28K cash.
They market them on the reservation.
Ya can even make a reservation to test unassisted drive on the reservation.
