Q3 earnings reports were a mixed bag for major automakers like Ford, GM, and Tesla.
Grounded recently launched the G3, its third-gen electric RV.
Tesla reported $1.2 billion in net income in Q2, down 16% YoY.
Electrification, tariffs, and supplier consolidation are among the trends that could drive M&A deals in the auto industry in 2025, per PwC’s latest outlook.
Tesla’s financial performance surpassed analysts’ expectations, while Ford attributed weak results in part to charges tied to paring back its electrification plans.
The partnership aims to take advantage of both companies’ “scale and strengths to reduce costs,” according to the rival automakers.
“Ford saw the opportunity to fill this plant with a much more profitable product as they figure out where to build the three-row electric crossover,” one industry analyst told Tech Brew.
