Ford CEO Jim Farley

55 min • 13 mars 2025

Randy sits down with Ford Motor Company's own Jim Farley, otherwise known as fordman21 in the BaT community, for a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion. Jim generously takes the time to talk about how his early experiences led to a lifetime of flipping cars; his own podcast, DRIVE with Jim Farley; an unexpected and, one supposes, uncommon skill for a Big Three CEO; getting yelled at by a Formula 1 World Champion; the dangers of working in one's hobby; details about his social relationship with BaT; free product advice; connecting with other people over a shared passion; insights into the early days of Lexus; the emotional rollercoaster of sports car production; sage decision-making advice; predictions about the role of AI in the manufacturing process; a formative moment involving Phil Hill and a recalcitrant Gullwing; using his Pantera to stress out his security detail and keep the local Harbor Freight in business; and a heartfelt plea to competing BaT bidders.
