    I would not be surprised if Ford shrinks and becomes American-only, as the new admin pushes more gasoline and oil and reduces overall EV incentives.

    They’ll subsist on gigantic-truck sales, maybe get a bailout from the sympathetic government, and maybe bide their time until they get a Democrat willing to subsidize and incentivize their transition to EVs in the future. If they’re truly toast, it will be a very slow death, and a lot can change even in four years (for better or worse).

      That’s a crazy prospect given how huge Ford are or at least were in the UK growing up.
