Ford CEO drives Chinese EV as his personal vehicle: ‘It’s fantastic’

The Midwesterner: Ford CEO Jim Farley loves Chinese electric vehicles, particularly the one he flew in from Shanghai that he’s been driving daily for half a year.

“I don’t like talking about the competition so much, but I drive the Xiaomi,” Farley told Robert Llewellyn, host of the Fully Charged podcast, in a recent interview. “We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I’ve been driving it for six months now, and I don’t want to give it up.”

“It’s fantastic,” he said. “They sell 10,000, 20,000 a month. They’re sold out for six months.” more

  1. Has the board of directors fired this guy yet? Do the unions realize what this traitorous piece of shit is up to? The Chinese are building a manufacturing plant down in Mexico and Biden is arranging for the Chinese to ship them here Tariff free. This will destroy our auto industry.

  2. …of course its als interesting he doesnt drive a Ford at ALL…I knew people that worked in a UAW transmission plant in Sharonvolle OH, and they said if someone parked a non-Ford Blue Oval badged car there that unfortunate things would “happen” to it, and there were Epstein level problems with the security cameras when it did…

  3. We cannot make affordable cars in the good ol’ USA because of all the government interference in the marketplace, regulator red tape, wasteful and unnecessary environmental concerns, OSHA overreach, union job rules, greedy lawyers, and expensive insurance. America was not always this way. Now who do you suppose was behind every single movement that made doing business in America cost prohibitive? China maybe? The former Soviet Union?

  4. To the corporate board of directors….fire this asshole immediately.

    In a previous life I was a supplier to Budweiser. Their representatives would occasionally come for an audit after which I’d take them to dinner. They NEVER drank anything but Bud and told me drinking anything else was a bad look.

    This idiot has no such thoughts.

  5. Good point geoff!
    We’ve been checking the origin of foods we buy every week for probably 12 ago or so years now. You never know when the bastards will try to slip chyna shit under the table. Once you do it for a while you kinda know who to trust, but always check periodically cuz Who-Owns-Who is like a shell game anymore these days!
    We actually started this after getting some bad frozen fish that was terrible. Looked like American, but only had “Distributed By” creds.
    There have been pet food advisories out there too about deceptive origins.
