Ford Q2 Sales Slide 10.3% on F-Series Supply Woes, EV Slump
Ford reported a 10.3% Q2 sales decline driven by an F-Series supplier disruption and a steep 40.7% drop in electric vehicle demand.
Ford Motor Company posted a 10.3% decline in second-quarter sales, the automaker confirmed, citing a supplier problem that hobbled production of its flagship F-Series trucks alongside weakening consumer appetite for electric vehicles. The dual pressures dealt a significant blow to two of the company's most strategically important product lines in the same reporting period.
Sales of the F-Series lineup — which includes the best-selling F-150 pickup — fell 11% compared with the same quarter a year ago. The decline was tied directly to a supplier issue that constrained how many trucks Ford could get to dealerships, rather than a collapse in underlying consumer demand for the model.

Meanwhile, the EV retreat raises fresh questions about the pace and cost of Ford's ongoing electric transition.
Analysts will be watching closely to see whether the supplier issue proves temporary and whether EV demand stabilizes as Ford expands its electric lineup and refines its pricing strategy in coming quarters. Continue reading at US Top News and Analysis.
