Ford plans to cut F-150 Lightning production as consumer demand slows

HERE

Ford executives have said they're currently identifying ways to cut production costs of the Lightning and Mustang Mach-E to be more competitive. Doug Field, formerly of Apple and Tesla, is now at Ford, he noted.

Automakers are asking the Biden Administration to ease up on new regulatory changes that could cost Detroit automakers billions as they work to transition to electric vehicles.

"EVs are not catching on — not as hot as they thought they would be just a year ago," McElroy said.

Feds are using CAFE standards as a cudgel and levying large fines against automakers for non-compliance with their diktats. That's not laissez-faire.
