"There's a confusion about China. The popular conception is that companies come to China because of low labor cost. I'm not sure what part of China they go to, but the truth is China stopped being the low-labor-cost country many years ago. And that is not the reason to come to China from a supply point of view. The reason is because of the skill, and the quantity of skill in one location and the type of skill it is...The products we do require really advanced tooling, and the precision that you have to have, the tooling and working with the materials that we do are state of the art. And the tooling skill is very deep here. In the U.S., you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I'm not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields..."

That's a bunch of bull. The reality is that China is the lowest cost when also considering supply chain and integration. That's it - no one believes that China is technically as capable as European nations or the USA, no one. If you want a reminder of how un-refined Chinese industry is, it took until 2017 for China to be able to manufacture their own ball-point pens because the manufacturing process is too complex and tolerances are low. It's also 2024 and China still doesn't have the expertise, nor tooling required to make their own jet engines - they still rely on and import them from Russia, and we're 34 years after the fall of the USSR! So yeah, stop peddling such crap. China simply has a massive population which has been shoved into factories and which needs to be perpetually employed. That's it.

Funny thing about mentioning the Chinese carmakers as a threat to Ford in Brazil, BYD already sells more cars in Brazil than Ford does. It even landed one of its models as the best selling vehicle in one Brazilian "state" (between quotes because it's Distrito Federal, which is the seat of power for the country and somewhere between a city and a state as far as its government structure goes). Of course, part of the reason for that is Ford abandoning car manufacture in Brazil and relying solely on imports; BYD even purchased Ford's old car plant, where it plans to make 150K cars per year, with the potential to expand to 300K if there is enough demand.

@@SimoneSantos-nq7ci "low profits" are still profits. In China, profits are small but constant and you can be sure that even if they are small, you will never have losses unless your management is terrible. Many "businessmen" look for large profits in the short term, but forget that these profits are at the cost of great efforts by their employees, so it is preferable to have happy and efficient employees with a low profit than dishonest and inefficient employees with a high profit but with the probability of going bankrupt sooner or later. Getting 10-15 to 20% of the investment annually is a great benefit, but when your employees find out about the benefits you obtained and you only increased their annual salary by 4-6%, you will surely get 30 to 45% losses that year. Great profits bring great losses.

I am a retired Engineer, and I was raised in the automotive industry. Growing up, I was led to believe that the only good cars were American made vehicles or high end German cars. My experiences with American made cars was a mixed bag. The overall quality was generally poor and very inconsistent. Japanese cars arrived in the 70s , and I have only bought three American cars since then; one from each of the big three automakers. The quality of each of these vehicles was subpar, so I didn't keep them for very long. I have had very good service from the Japanese vehicles that I purchased over the years, and I would not consider purchasing a US or Korean made car. The charging infrastructure here in Canada is very sparce, so I wouldn't buy an EV until some time in the future. Time has proven that the big three US automakers are unable to produce a mass market economy car that is worth bringing home; I.e: Chevrolet Vega, Ford Pinto, etc. I visited China last year and I would definitely consider a Chinese made EV, especially an economy car to serve as a second vehicle.

A -correct- version of what you mean to convey is more like " has a car come off the production line every seconds." The reality is that the car -started- on the line 2or 3 days ago, which is pretty damn amazing in and of itself. Other than that, excellent job getting the word out about Ford getting an accurate picture of the reality in China, and the government mechanisms the started it and continues to accelerate it.

That 2 or 3 days must include time at plants away from the assembly line. I'm retired, but decades ago traditional assembly plants made a car every 60 seconds and they've sped that up. The slowest thing were the ovens that took 4 hours including for the body to cool. The engine and the transmission were neither built nor tested on the assembly line. You are as bad as what you complained Sam did. You are adding apples and oranges. The right numbers to compare are man hours per car even though outsourcing artificially lowers it.Just imagine it takes 3 days to start the line and 3 days to shut it down, and you start on Monday and stop on Friday. Good luck with that. It's a fairly good bet 3 days included stuff that started up days before either cars or assembly workers got there.

I think that's unfair. Ford came out with the EV Mustang, EV F-150, and numerous hybrids, and 10 years ago offered the EV Focus. It's not like they've done nothing. The problem seems to be that they're not executing well. The Lightning was a big disappointment because of the high price and poor range; the Mustang-E is considered a fun car, but also expensive and not great stats. With some tweaking, I think Ford could improve these offerings and gain more market share. It doesn't help when UAW goes on strike for 8 weeks, costing Ford and the other domestic car makers billions of dollars... right when China (and Korea) are poised to take over.

Welcome to capitalism with fewer regulations than the US used to have, and corporations more bold to merely collude and scam consumers. It's too bad unions had some corruption problems, but seem to be coming back cleaner, but probably too late. Inflation will always happen, it's just that we had a big jump after COVID and all the cash the governments printed and gave to businesses and citizens pushed up demand, lowered supply, and ended up in huge mess and double digit inflation. Those prices will only come down if we the middle class don't have the money to buy products and end up as the working poor. This is capitalism without guard rails. It's not going to get better unless the government breaks up big corps, makes incentives for small businesses, taxes the rich more than they have, and put the guard rails back into industries that are screwing consumers with over charging for necessities in the name of shareholder profits and CEO 50 million dollar per year salaries.

It happens the same in international scene. The West tries to imposing heavy tax, restricting imports does not help them to make more and better EVs. Good products still have their markets. The world is bigger than US+Canada+Europe. These products will go to the rest of the world and help them to improve lives faster.

How things do change. The US had a virtual monopoly on ICE vehicles in China and made billions over the years. Now the situation has flipped with China on top of the EV industry. Instead, the US is trying to shut out the China OEM's from US markets. So much for a free and open market and fair play. By the time the US gets up to speed (if they do) after making the huge start-up investment, the Chinese will have expanded internationally especially in the Global South and further developed their supply chain improving their economies of scale. Good luck.

This is a tough nut to crack. The Chinese have demonstrated their ability to build fine EV automobiles at low prices. Our response: 'lets raise those tariff's even more'. Both Trump and Biden agree on this, and unfortunately free trade goes out the window. Who pays, the buyers. It will take some years to get beyond this point. Now we must, as consumers, just grin and bear it. Eventually though, those Chinese vehicles will find their way here.

Disagree. Biden and Trump are so far apart on their concepts - that it's night and day. Trump's tariff policies amount to a tax upon the American people. Biden's policies only targeted EV's and gave breathing space to EV industry and his infrastructure changes, like the CHIPS act that helped America to build out more semiconductor capacity - has put America into a progress loop. And let's face it. Trump is just a weirded out used up jet trash reality TV star. This comment is misleading, because it assumes that Trump's policies are in fact policies and not just the meandering of a man getting ready to make a plea deal to stay out of federal prison. I'm voting for Harris, because she's got an actual policy and I'm definitely grinning when anyone attempts to put her on equal footing with ... whoever that Donald guy really is.

Actually, Trump imposed 25% (more or less) tariffs on Chinese cars, because China had a 25% tariff on U.S. made cars for decades and still does, I believe.

@@yojoe4830 GM is not at all doing fine in China. Their ICEV sales are drying up. GM is a partial owner of a Chinese EV manufacturer and that company is doing OK. I don't see how most legacy companies make it through the transition to EVs. They can't yet make profitable EVs, they need profits from ICEVs to pay their enormous debt and stay in business. If they started selling low/no profit EVs they would lose profitable ICEV sales. What we are watching is new companies making EVs and taking market share away from legacy companies. As legacy sells fewer ICEVs it becomes more expensive to manufacture ICEVs (economies of scale). Higher cost to produce ICEVs means less profit and/or lower sales. Less earned profit leads to bankruptcy.

Tariffs will protect the legacy group in the US and Europe for a few years, but in the long run, this will retard their progress in automotive technology and manufacturing. The legacy group isn't taking the challenge seriously. Pulling political levers, they have convinced lawmakers that protectionism is the best course and that EVs are not ready for US and European markets. Their solution is hybrids. In the meantime, the Chinese manufacturers will gobble up international markets for EVs. Legacy companies will disappear in China and become less of a global factor. Chinese EVs are showing themselves to be better than what legacy manufacturers are selling. They are more affordable and include features like self-driving and amazing sound systems considered premium in the US. Meanwhile, traditional car manufacturers respond by selling the same old stuff as the Chinese improve their manufacturing and software systems, aiming to lead the world in EVs. Protectionism will work in the short term, but in the long run, nothing they are offering can effectively compete with what China is producing.

They don't make the Xaomi SU7 in 57 seconds, rather 57 sec is the station time of the production line. You need to multiply the number of stations by the station time for the time taken to build the car.

Tesla have always had mid range quality interiors, it´s not stopped the model Y being the best selling car in the world, not just the best selling BEV car but the best selling car outright with a 65% customer brand loyalty. Plus the model Y is now an old model but still has fantastic sales. You can criticise Tesla as much as you like but the paying public disagree with you overall.

And now the Japanese and Korean companies are virtually American car companies anyway. Toyota has been in NASCAR for over 20 years now and all employ thousands of US autoworkers. Throw in the aging crisis in both countries and you can expect that number to continue to rise. Might even get to a point where most Japanese cars are actually made in the USA.

The reason EV sales have slumped in most of Europe: the infrastructure is not in place. Extremely large numbers of drivers cannot charge at home. Those that can can only charge one EV at a time. Public charging is more expensive than equivalent petrol/diesel per mile/km. Subsidies are being withdrawn. The average consumer cannot afford the high cost of purchase/lease of most legacy brands. Range is still an issue with some EV models. They are as emotionally aspirational as buying a Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Amazing video. Visiting China June and July this year, I had that sense, too. I did not see that many Teslas, but maybe because they are relatively boring by comparison. I do feel we should protect US and EU jobs, but in the US, the executives will pocket the tariffs by splitting them with stockholders. The corruption in the US will doom our car industry. That's sad, I would love to see the US and Europe compete hard to make supper EVs, but sadly, corrupt capitalism can not compete with socially responsible command economics. I managed compliance for a Japanes manufacturer and saw the Japanese kick our buts thus.
