Ford would have lost a lot less per copy if they had built a commuter sedan instead of a pickup. Who came up with that insanity?
No doubt it’s the product of some deranged, woke, mind.
Ford has a well documented history of production fook-ups from H Ford I refusing to abandon the Model ‘T’ when it was well past it’s prime to the Edsel, and beyond. And now this cluster-fook of a pickup truck. It is a wonder that Ford is still in business ... until you see the sticker prices on their vehicles.
It is not just Ford. Other OEMs have EV trucks and other road hogs in various stages of development.
The reality is that the sedan’s you note do not sell and are thus costly rather than profitable.
