Per automotive news

Ford Motor Co.’s engineering ranks may bear the brunt of additional job cuts the automaker has alluded to in the wake of disappointing earnings, judging from CEO Jim Farley’s latest interview.

“It takes us 25 percent more engineers to do the same work statements as our competitors,” Farley said on “Cars & Culture with Jason Stein,” a SiriusXM radio show that will air the interview on Friday. “I can’t afford to be 25 percent less efficient.”

I guess that says it all about Fords engineers

Minor point, but if it take 25% more of Ford's engineers to do the same work, they are 80% as efficient (100/125=80%). Farley needs to check with the Math department. In any event, his engineers are the source of the vast majority of frustration of Mach-E owners.
