RE: A Perfect Partnership?
I've had some good and bad experiences with Ford in the past. At one point had an Expedition that I picked up new (1st mistake), but then after 36,000 thousand miles half the injectors gave out. The sunroof started leaking after that... Fortunately, I had purchased the extended warranty so it only cost $100 to fix, but if I hadn't it could have been more than $5K!
I think exploring their options is a wise move, it's just too bad they can't do it with an American company. Any company from China will sadly have government cronies trying to use any tools they can to gather intelligence. The communist party is very aggressively using any resource they have available to them, just as the CIA would as well.
You never know with any products with software from China, I avoid goods from China as much as I can. But I've been that way for years and prefer buying American.
When I was looking for a new truck I looked at Fords, but the interior just wasn't as nice as the GM vehicles, and as I said, Ram was off the table because of it being a Chrysler brand. I understand there are inherent risks with a company like Xiaomi, but I think at the end of the day they are just looking to make profit. Even if the government has their thumb on them.
