Ford’s Chairman Says Strike Is Helping Tesla and Toyota: Bill Ford, the executive chairman of Ford Motor, made an unusually blunt statement about the ongoing United Auto Workers’ strike against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler. “Toyota, Honda, Tesla and the others are loving the strike, because they know the longer it goes on, the better it is for them,” he said, quoted by Neal E. Boudette of The New York Times. The strike has a lot to do with the shift to electric vehicles, as Ford and other automakers have shifted much of their growth to nonunion joint ventures that make batteries. Ford executives have said they need to have costs that are competitive with non-union automakers like Tesla, Toyota and Honda.
