“A Slap in the Face”: Ford CEO Under Fire for Driving a Chinese Car
Story by Camilla Jessen • 6h

Ford CEO Jim Farley has drawn criticism for driving an electric vehicle from the Chinese tech company Xiaomi.

He has openly praised Xiaomi’s latest model, the SU7, calling it “fantastic” and admitting on a recent podcast that after six months of driving it, he would “rather not return it.”
 
But his endorsement has sparked controversy and opposition from various quarters.

Jason Isaac of the American Energy Institute is one of the most vocal critics, arguing that it’s problematic for the CEO of an American automaker to drive a Chinese electric car, especially given the substantial tax-funded subsidies Ford receives.
