2. It has investments in Rivian and Argo AI
Ford surprisingly used to have a 12% stake in $Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US)$. But they sold off 90% of that stake by end of 2022.
Both companies were supposed to co-develop an electric pickup but the plans did not materialized.
Ford also bought over Argo AI, an autonomous driving technology company, but the company has disbanded in October 2022. Argo’s technology will be salvaged and further developed in-house by Ford and $VOLKSWAGEN AG NON VTG PRF NPV(VLKPF.US)$, the previous 2 co-backers.

Q4'22 topline was Ford's highest in FY 22. Wholesale was up 4%, due to improvements in supply chain constraints and EV scaling.
Revenue was up 17%, driven by increased volume and higher net pricing, offset partially by weaker currencies.
This so far contrasted with $Tesla(TSLA.US)$, which had to cut prices.
Do you think Ford's game plan is more solid and stable than Tesla's for growth?
