Major Car Companies React to Trump’s Tariffs, Immediately Slash Prices for U.S. Buyers

[Concerned American]

BTW, the auto union president says there are unlimited factories to accommodate all new start ups

They'll just have to evict the homeless squatters. LOL

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

They're having a sale on existing inventory. Happens all the time. "Employee pricing". Standard stuff.

Long term, they still need to make a profit.

My goodness, the flock is just fucking clueless.

My goodness, you’re just fucking butthurt.

 

[AsherN]

No it's not. The "retooling" consists of changing the settings on the sheet metal presses. In a worst case scenario, where there is a major change, the new die will take about two weeks to manufacture the necessary numbers to run the line. You clods clearly know nothing about modern manufacturing processes.

Retooling a car plant, unless it's for a few tweaks between model years is a multi-month long affair.

No, it isn't.

 

[Concerned American]

No, it isn't.

I just listened to Ford's new ad on the tube. I've heard a lot of libs saying that Ford is claiming that they "make more vehicles in America than anyone else." The actual ad says, "Ford ASSEMBLES more vehicles..." I wish the libs would not misquote to meet their needs.

 

[TimFitz]

All of that manufacturing can be brought back to the US in weeks, if not days.

That’s totally ridiculous.

 

[westwall]

That’s totally ridiculous.

Totally factual. You morons know nothing about manufacturing.

Two of the world’s biggest automakers just gave President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs a ringing endorsement—by putting their money where their assembly lines are.

On Thursday, Ford and Volvo announced bold moves designed to take full advantage of Trump’s new 25% tariff on foreign-assembled vehicles. The message is clear: if you build it here, you don’t get taxed—and American workers win.

Ford, the iconic American brand that’s been making trucks and muscle cars since before most of us were born, rolled out a patriotic new promotion called “From America, For America.” The deal? Employee pricing for everyone, knocking thousands off the sticker price of eligible new vehicles.

“We’re going to offer customers the same deal that our employees get,” Ford Chief Policy Officer Steve Croley told “Fox & Friends.” “We make the most cars here, we employ the most, we export the most.” In other words, Ford’s betting on America—and rewarding Americans for betting on Ford.

The “experts” told us that tariffs would be passed on the consumers as massive taxes.
Ford just announced employee pricing to all U.S. customers for the next few months. Trump was right again.
Americans are not bearing the brunt of these tariffs.


President Trump is always right.
Always.

But I get to keep my doctor ? Right?

Trump said he was going to repeal and replace that.

Are you tired of his hoaxes yet?

Is the Trump Cult enjoying having to dig deeper and deeper into their paychecks to cover their health insurance costs?

How's your 401(k) doing these days?

Trump's owning the libs, right?

Ooopsie!

D'oh!

Ford’s Employee Pricing Sounds Nice Until You See What It Took Away

Just another marketing gag.

It will work on the cult, though.

I bet Ford wished it had a small affordable PU again instead of the 80K+ behemoths they have now....Hell, even their Ranger is about the same size of the new F150 I bought in '99.

Maverick.
