It was an honor to give the commencement address today at my alma mater, @Georgetown. My experience as a student here taught me the importance of embracing problem solving as an opportunity to serve others. My advice to the graduates was to fall in love with problem solving, because you will always feel fulfilled! Congratulations, Hoyas! #Hoyas2026

Thank goodness

[Jim Farley @jimfarley98]

A @Ford customer shared this incredible story with us. I'm always inspired hearing how much our vehicles mean to our customers.

Gennifer, thank you for sharing your story! Glad you, your husband, the dogs and your red Expedition are all okay. https://t.co/yuKgsGq34P

We’re going to need a bigger trophy case!

[Jim Farley @jimfarley98]

Keeping our customers safe is essential, so this recognition is important to @Ford and our team. The 2024 @FordMustang Mach-E and 2024-25 F-150 earned top safety awards from @IIHS_autosafety. These join the '24 Ford Explorer and '24 #LincolnNautilus which were also awarded with Top Safety Pick+ awards earlier this year. Details here: https://t.co/ynMqsKbWmB

Ford's new Power Promise program tackles EV concerns with a complimentary home charger offer, 24/7 support, on-the-road solutions, and an 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty.. This one-stop shop aims to help accelerate mass electric vehicle adoption by addressing key concerns.

[Jim Farley @jimfarley98]

Auto shoppers say they're more likely to buy an electric vehicle if they could fill up at home. So we’re going to make it easy for our customers. If you buy or lease a new @Ford electric vehicle, we’ll include a complimentary home charger. This is part of something we’re calling the Ford Power Promise, which is about giving our electric vehicle customers convenience, peace of mind and expert service. I explain more about the #FordPowerPromise here:

It was an honor to attend Thursday night’s event to see Bill Ford’s induction into the Automotive Hall of Fame ⁦at ⁦@MichiganCentral⁩ . His future-focused thinking and passion to leave the world a better place is truly inspiring to us all. #AHFInduction2024

[Bob Holycross @BobHolycross]

Another key collaboration in our journey toward carbon neutrality. Proud to partner with our suppliers to grow our renewable, carbon-free energy portfolio beyond our own four walls. #RoadToBetter

[Ford Motor Company @Ford]

Our goal is to use 100% carbon-free electricity in our global manufacturing by 2035. Transform: Auto will help drive the adoption of renewable energy across the automotive industry, helping to pave the way to a more sustainable future. #RoadToBetter

[Jim Farley @jimfarley98]

Got to speak w/ some of the people working on our all-electric #FordCapri & Explorer at Cologne Electric Vehicle Center. Appreciated hearing their thoughts on the work they’re doing. Nice to meet with you, Hami, Selin, Marvin, Christoph & Luca! Thanks for all you do for @Ford.

[Bob Holycross @BobHolycross]

Game changing. Looking forward to more utilities embracing this opportunity for the grid and for their customers.

[Jim Farley @jimfarley98]

Great to see this pilot program underway. This couple is using their F-150 Lightning to power their house — even when the grid is on — which saves them money and helps to take some pressure off Baltimore's grid during peak hours. https://t.co/T6dk7H5BDS

[Bob Holycross @BobHolycross]

Like quietly powering my house last Tuesday so my basement wouldn’t flood

[Jim Farley @jimfarley98]

Not only do we agree, but as I said in my recent op-ed, there's a lot to love about electric cars and trucks: https://t.co/zxVZh3DDGa

Thanks for sharing your perspective, @Tim_Stevens. https://t.co/qFb6AYXzEV

Congrats to our @Ford Electric Vehicle Development Team and @LongBeachMayor! Excited for the products that will follow.

Big news: @Ford Motor Company has selected Long Beach as the home for its new Advanced Electric Vehicle Development Center.

[Bob Holycross @BobHolycross]

The transition to electric vehicles will be led by our customers and as @jimfarley98 points out, for millions of Americans electric vehicles are removing daily hassles and reminding us all why we love to drive. Read more #EV truths here. #RoadtoBetter

[Jim Farley @jimfarley98]

As a lifelong car guy, I was surprised when I fell in love with electric vehicles. It wasn't because of politics. People are choosing electric vehicles because they remove daily hassles and remind us why we love to drive. I wrote about this today on LinkedIn. In my 40 years developing vehicles, I've learned you never want to be on the wrong side of customers and what matters in their lives. https://t.co/wJl4tgfZHG
