The odd thing is that if our industry has failed, so has Japan, Korea, and Europe, because they all make electrics, and we can buy them in the US. I don't know

I don't know the extent to which demand plays a role. Ford makes F150s because people buy F150s. They have to be forced to make smaller cars, and lose money on them.
- to11mtm 1y agoI'm fairly certain that Ford has gotten to the point where, at least in the US they aren't losing money on their 'smaller' vehicles. Certainly not making as much as they can make on an F150, (I think the estimate on a Maverick is somewhere around 500-600 a car to ford). As far as overall 'demand', there is a bit of market distortion (depending on how you look at it) as far as dealers frequently trying to push people into bigger vehicles because they are inherently more expensive and they get more commission and profit too.
