Ford (F) reported Q2 2025 earnings on Wednesday, beating top and bottom line expectations. Despite the revenue growth, Ford is warning profits will take a hit thanks to Trump's tariffs. We will also learn about Ford's plans to build "breakthrough" EVs in the US very soon. Ford Q2 2025 earnings preview After suspending full-year guidance in May, Ford warned that it expected to take a $2.5 billion hit from Trump's auto tariffs. Given that Ford builds more vehicles in the US than any major automaker, outside of Tesla, it's expected to see less of an impact from the 25% tariff on imports. Ford imports just about 21% of the vehicles it sells in the US. In comparison, crosstown rival GM imports around 46%. GM announced last week that the tariffs cost it an extra $1.1 billion in the second quarter. For the full year, GM still expects a $4 billion to $5 billion impact. Unlike GM, Ford breaks down earnings into three units, including Model e, its electric vehicle business. Ford's Model e posted a nearly $1 billion loss in the first quarter, but new EVs rolling out in Europe boosted revenue. Although Ford's vehicle sales rose 14% to over 612,000 in Q2, EV sales dropped 31% to just 16,438. Ford spokesperson Martin Gunsberg told Electrek that both the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning were impacted by the changeover to the 2025 model year and the Mach-E recall. Ford Mustang Mach-E (left) and F-150 Lightning (right) (Source: Ford) According to Estimize , Wall Street expects Ford to post second-quarter EPS of $0.33 on revenue of $43.75 billion. Improving costs and more EV news to come Ford beat earnings estimates posting second quarter revenue a record $50.02 billion in revenue, up 5% YOY and an adjusted EPS of $0.37. Ford Q2 2025 Revenue: $50.02 billion vs $43.75 billion expected Ford Q2 2025 adjusted EPS: $0.37 vs $0.33 expected Despite the higher revenue, Ford posted a $36 million net loss, which was due to a "field service action and expenses related to a previously announced cancellation of an electric vehicle program." It also incurred an $800 million loss due to tariffs in the quarter. Ford Pro continues to drive both top and bottom-line growth with high-margin revenue streams from software and services. Its Model e EV business, on the other hand, lost another $1.3 billion in the second quarter. Through the first half of the year, Model e has now lost $2.2 billion. Ford Model e Q2 2025 earnings (Source: Ford) Ford attributed the higher losses to tariff-related costs and investments in launching its new EV battery plant in Michigan. After launching new EVs in Europe, like the Capri and electric Explorer, Model e's revenue doubled to $2.4 billion. Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning material costs also improved in the quarter. Ford's electric vehicles in Europe from left to right: Puma Gen-E, Explorer, Capri, and Mustang Mach-E (Source: Ford) Ford now expects full-year adjusted EBIT of $6.5 billion to $7.5 billion, including a $2 billion hit from tariffs. That's down from the $7 billion to $8.5 billion it previously forecasted. The company will partially offset a $3 billion gross adjusted EBIT impact, partially offset by $1 billion in recovery actions. CEO Jim Farley announced an event on August 11 in Kentucky, where Ford will share more details about its "plans to design and build breakthrough electric vehicles in America." Farley said on the company's earnings call that Ford is not looking to compete with South Korean and Japanese brands in the mass market EV space, but rather what the company is known for best — trucks and SUVs. The company will utilize LFP batteries manufactured in Michigan to reduce costs. The first electric model built on Ford's new platform is expected to be a mid-size pickup truck, set to arrive in 2027. Check back for more info from Ford's Q2 2025 earnings call. We will keep you updated with the latest.

It turns out people really do win giveaways. In February, Tim Harrington took delivery of the first Cybertruck to be raffled off by Tesla. He later showed how the Cybertruck fits in his garage "like a glove." 2024 continues to be the year of the Cybertruck , and well, Tesla has done it again. After holding a second Tesla referral raffle, the company has delivered another free Cybertruck to one extremely fortunate winner: Jacob Knight . An unbelievable, timely message A few weeks ago, my neighbor and best friend since grade school called me around 9 p.m. with some unbelievable news. He told me he thought he might have won a free Cybertruck. I literally didn't believe him. Well, I believed that he thought he might have won a free Cybertruck, but I really wanted to debunk whatever phishing expedition was being conducted before it got too far. Neither we nor ChatGPT could debunk the raffle winner email using the email headers and raw message. A call from Tesla the following day confirmed the message and set things in motion. Prior to the call, our families had spent the previous day and a half together. The startup Jacob worked for was downsizing, his father-in-law Brian spent several days hospitalized after a stroke, and the start of summer was just generally turbulent. My best friend was understandably in a funk, and I wanted to do my part in helping, so we dragged him out to the beach. The next day, I helped him clean his office while he interviewed for new job opportunities . It felt like a day and a half well spent! Neither of us had any clue about what was processing in the background. It was a very real lesson in how a tide change may already be developing when you feel like you're underwater. Also, enter more raffles! Tesla Cybertruck raffle winner Fast-forward one week and change later, and our families are on a six-hour round trip from Biloxi to the Tesla delivery facility in Brandon, Mississippi. The email was real. The call was real. And Jacob's Cybertruck was waiting in the Tesla parking lot with his name hanging from the mirror. Prior to owning the Cybertruck, Jacob's family owned two Teslas: a Model 3 Performance and a Model X Plaid. I drove Jacob’s Model 3 Performance up for the photo op; I bought it a week later! Brian, having recovered from his stroke, rode as a passenger in the Model X on the way up. He was responsible for driving the Model X on the way back. This happened to be his first experience ever behind the wheel of an EV. Jacob bravely packed his newly received Tesla Cybertruck with one of his two kids and my two kids for the ride back. It was a hot-as-summer spring day in Mississippi, but it was a helluva day to remember. Jacob's Mawmaw Katie was also part of the day one experience. What a memory! Personally, I can say I've logged roughly two hours behind the wheel of the Cybertruck. It's GOOD. Meanwhile, Jacob and his Foundation Edition Cyberbeast (yes, tri-motor!) have been the talk of the town. Seriously, people haven't stopped posing for pictures and sharing sightings on our town's Facebook group. Jacob has also allowed his Cybertruck to join the dark side with a deep black matte wrap. But enough storytelling from me. You can hear Jacob's story of being the Tesla Cybertruck raffle winner in his own words in a podcast interview recorded this week below: https://twitter.com/jacobisknight/status/1799145466879267098?s=61&t=Um0m_kl9v8_MM9QONXv-QA The mission continues.
