Ford CEO Jim Farley in new interview on Chinese EV competition: "If you’re an American and you want us to beat the Chinese in the car business, you’re all going to want to pay attention, not necessarily to @Tesla. Nothing against Tesla—they’ve been doing great—but they really don’t have an updated vehicle. The best in the business for us, cost-wise and competition-wise, supply chain, manufacturing expertise, and the IP in the vehicle, was really BYD. In this next cycle of EV customers in the U.S., they want pickups and utilities and all these different body styles. But they want them at $30,000, not $50,000. Like the first inning, they want them affordably. That is the gift that China gave us: to be fearful and respectful enough of their progress that we could not organically just phone it in. We needed to do what Americans sometimes do great, which is use innovation to compete against the best in the world." Something that Jim Farley didn't mention in the interview that is worth noting: The Tesla Model Y was the top-selling passenger vehicle in China in March 2026, with 39,827 registrations, beating all EVs and ICE models, despite its average selling price being higher than others in the top 10 list.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Please attribute the conversation properly. From the Rapid Response podcast with Bob Safian, part of Masters of Scale: youtube.com/watch?v=n6Ey4H…

Brian Chesky's vision for an AI-first world is miles ahead of the Silicon Valley narrative. Haven't seen it this clearly since Steve Jobs.
