Ford CEO Jim Farley says dismantling Tesla and Chinese-made EVs was a wake-up call that reshaped how the veteran automaker is taking on the electric transition. 

 

Speaking on the Office Hours: Business Edition podcast, Farley admitted he was “humbled” after learning how far ahead Tesla and China’s automakers were in design and efficiency. The revelation, he stated, convinced him that Ford had to rethink everything from engineering to strategy.
