Ford joins other companies walking back previous DEI commitments on supplier quotas and LGBTQ+ corporate equality practices.
  • Ford Motor told employees in an internal communication that it had taken “a fresh look” at its DEI policies and practices over the past year.
  • Following that review, the automaker said it will not use quotas for minority dealerships or suppliers, adding that it does not have hiring quotas.
  • The company also will stop participating in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, as well as various other “best places to work” lists.

    They are reneging and pivoting towards hybrids.

      Demand in the US just isn’t there for EVs – the market is mostly saturated. That’s why Tesla is having trouble, too.

        I don’t think that’s the only reason Tesla is having trouble…

        The demand is there. Carmakers don’t want to build affordable EVs. They just want to build trucks and SUVs.

        The 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs is more about protecting the Big Three legacy carmakers than anything else.
