Ford stock. Any takers?

[Carsinmyblood]

Just wondering... is anyone going full-tilt for Ford now that it seems they have a hit on their hands?

I feel like this isn’t the important electric vehicle rollout for Ford. Next years F-150 is arguably orders of magnitude more important to Fords bottom line.

I’ve been a stock holder since last year. Thinking about buying in some more while it’s down

My wife and I scooped up a bit of Ford stock while it was down pretty far last year. I hope they update the xplan to include the GT so we can make more use of it other than being in the "pays a dividend" pile.

I have my doubt as to how big the ev truck will be. Ranchers and construction will not want it. It’s best bet is those that drive a pickup just because. Not sure how big that group is. Maybe that is a big group but at least some of the group won’t want a silent truck either.

I own Ford stock and think it is a good investment but I think it will do well for non-ev truck reasons.

I'm not so sure. There may be an E-pickup market in some parts, but down in NC, SC etc. they're still blowing coal to piss off the Libs.

I think the Mach-E production is too little to impact the bottom line all that much.

What I do think the Mach-E does is show that Ford can make a really good EV, so I think it bodes very well for them for the coming decade as EV sales are expected to pick up steam.

Not full tilt, but a little bit. Maybe if they restore the dividend, I’ll pick up some more ?

I bought in March or so last year and already have a good return on that and I just bought a little more right after their 1st qtr results. The chip shortage could make this a rough year, but I think they have a lot of positives going forward. The Mach-E alone won't do it, but it was a brilliant move by Ford. It has easily given them the title of being a top-notch EV competitor to Tesla and that is huge. It will pay big as they expand their EV lineup.

I still don’t think Tesla is the main competition. if you ask me, toyota I’d the top of the pile currently. Prius has been around forever, and Toyota’s reputation for build quality is unmatched.

Toyota is the biggest automaker but they have been so resistant to making full EVs. If you ask people who the best or biggest EV maker in the world is, and the near universal answer has been Tesla. Ford picked their fight with Tesla and it was a smart move.

I get what you’re saying. But I’d bet there have been mor Prius’s sold than all Tesla’s combined. Yeah yeah, I know, most Prius’s are hybrids not Bev’, but I said what I said.

I am a sentimental shareholder and I’m rooting for Ford, but objectively it’s been a poor use of my money. The stock has been stagnant.

If the F150 Lightning BEV has an EPA mileage ratio to an ICE F150 just the same as the ratio an MME has to an ICE Mustang, watch out.

I monitor the F150 forums also, and the main reason the Powerboost Hybrid is so popular, and scarce, is this, below.

So, really, is it in the realm of possibility that the Lightning gets 1/2 the MME EPA rating?

Then how well would a full-size, AWD , F150 be received by people that need a truck, and put on lots of miles daily, locally?
