Okkkkayyyy, I guess.... but how and when does Ford expect this number first to converge to zero, and then to turn into some profit? Or they expect that this is sustainable on the long term? Sure, most of engineering is a one-time big expenditure, but the rest is kind of continuous.
- Zetobal 3y agoI bet they have no plan and just went for it...
- serf 3y agowell presumably given Ford's history a lot of the engineering is modular to some degree. The profit comes in 10 years when the Ford Eco-Shitbox hits the road using the engineering that these units sunk the cost for.
