The way I see it is that they'll go full Hybrid first and delay the cut over to EV till as late as possible. Unfortunately, they had the opportunity to be first but instead came second and no one remembers second place. They had shares in Rivian and should've stuck to that plan of buying their IP and hitting the ground running. Rivian are hurting too but they only have EVs to work; their properties aren't split like Ford.

Or they should've bought Tesla when they could've.

Outside of armchair commentators, building reliable EVs isn't as simply as people made it out to be.
