Ford Motor Company is halting production of its electric F-150 Lightning
pickup truck at a Michigan factory, the auto giant announced Thursday.
Just three years ago, President Joe Biden and Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D.,
Mich.) visited the plant to celebrate the truck's rollout, calling it an
"incredible facility" that shows there's "no limit to what American
ingenuity and manufacturing can accomplish."

Ford—which, like other major automakers, has struggled to keep its EV
business afloat—will shutter the Dearborn, Michigan, manufacturing plant
beginning on Nov. 18 and until Jan. 6, 2025. "We continue to adjust
production for an optimal mix of sales growth and profitability," the
company said in a statement Thursday.

"Ford’s halt in F-150 Lightning production highlights the disastrous
impact of federal EV mandates driven by the Biden-Harris
administration," Jason Isaac, the CEO of the American Energy Institute,
told the Washington Free Beacon. "These mandates are destabilizing the
global auto industry while paving the way for cheap Chinese imports to
dominate."

"American automakers and workers are paying the price for policies that
ignore real consumer demand," Isaac continued.

The announcement is a stunning blow to Ford's ambitious plans to
scale-up EV production and sales, and underscores the broader problems
facing the EV industry. And it comes two months after Ford canceled
plans to develop an all-electric three-row SUV due to slowing consumer
demand and just days after Ford projected its EV business would lose $5
billion in 2024.

It is also a setback for the Biden-Harris administration and Democrats'
climate plans to rapidly saturate the market with EVs and phase out
traditional gas-powered cars. In May 2021, President Joe Biden and
Slotkin participated in Ford's ceremony at the soon-to-be-idled plant in
Dearborn to celebrate the rollout of the F-150 Lightning.

"This is an incredible facility," Biden remarked at the ceremony. "If we
act to save the planet, we can create millions of good-paying jobs,
generate significant economic growth and opportunity to raise the
standard of living for people not only here, but around the world."

"The rollout of the all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning reinforces what
we've always known: there's no limit to what American ingenuity and
manufacturing can accomplish, and Michigan's workers will always come
through," Slotkin added after the ceremony.

Since then, the Biden-Harris administration has cracked down on gas
cars—actions which Slotkin has voted in favor of—in a bid to achieve its
goal of ensuring more than half of all car purchases are electric by
2030. Less than 10 percent of all car sales in the United States are
electric, according to the latest data released this month by industry
group the Alliance For Automotive Innovation.

Republicans, energy industry groups, and experts have blasted the
administration's actions for reducing consumer choice and have labeled
them a quasi-EV mandate. The issue has also taken center stage in the
fight to win Michigan's Senate seat. Republican Senate candidate Rep.
Mike Rogers has repeatedly targeted Slotkin over her votes supporting
the administration's actions while Slotkin has sought to distance
herself from EV mandate policies.

"This is the sad reality of Harris-Slotkin policies: Michiganders lose
their jobs while China is enriched by their senseless EV mandates,"
Chris Gustafson, a spokesman for Rogers, told the Free Beacon. The
Slotkin campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment'

Looks like another Trump failure. What's he going to do now?

Sharia Muslim Saudi Arabians do not want you to own an electric vehicle.

Only a true moron would purchase an EV F-150.
Once the fascination and people with deep pockets disperse it makes no sense.
