Rush to beat the tariffs: Ford April sales rose 16.2%

• EV sales down 39%
• Hybrids up 29.6%
• ICE up 17.5%

This is an interesting number because it shows that the race to beat the tariffs was real. That’s going to create a bullwhip effect down the line and it shows a real effect on consumer behaviour. That’s going to lead to a blockbuster April retail sales report.

Ford shares are up 1% premarket, which puts them right back to where they were in 1985.
