You missed the one I have. I'll give you a hint, it has AWD and a top mount filter.
If I had to buy a new car, I wouldn't look at brand, but the following criteria:
No piece of shit automatic rear hatch opener. I want to slam that motherfucker. I've used cars with those and I end up getting mad and swearing at the car. Manual parking brake that clicks. A dipstick. Physical buttons, no software buttons AWD And it can't have any feature that annoys me into doing something which I can't disable (like seatbelt chime or driver face scanner)
Ford is an automatic failure in that regard. As they have a homo parking brake in every new model.
That's no hint... you drive a Subaru. Good luck finding a new vehicle with physical buttons or analogue guages. Everything is TFT display and most of the controlls are through the infotainment spyware's menus now.
Tesla was started up with bailout money, but to Musk's credit he did pay it all back. But yeah, it's been 15 years so right on time for a new bailout package.
Ford didn't take a bailout. That's why the workers went on strike.ctheyxmade concessions to keep the company afloat, and never received promised adjustments when they were back in the black.

Hey man, I'm a rational human being, which excludes me from understanding the "how" and "why" of crazy shit like overriding the law of supply and demand.
In another timeline, companies that fail to sell enough products to cover their expenses go out of business, but that's not the universe we're living in anymore.

A quick fact check. Ford did not lose $800M in 2022. It actually made $23BILLION
in Q3 of 2022.
With CA going all Electric by 2035 there is no crash market, at least on the west coast.
wonder why
who's paying to promote this shit? Someone that wants american car manufacturer to fail.

I drive Ford because Henry Ford published some mighty fine literature back in his heyday. But these days they have shareholders to please.

But they put soft buttons for the fan speed. Which is gay. Because if it is cold, and I'm wearing gloves, I can't press them.

Ford Gross profit is up yes, but Net profit is negative.
This is because their cost of operation is higher than their sales.
