I guess you didn't read the whole article.

Ford Motor Co. plans to produce a future electric car in Mexico rather than make it in the U.S., reversing plans announced in January to make its Flat Rock, Mich., assembly plant near Detroit its main electric-vehicle production site.

Instead, Ford will convert that suburban Detroit factory into a manufacturing hub for future driverless vehicles, a top company official said. And it plans to create a dedicated assembly line for electric vehicles at its plant in Cuautitlan, Mexico, with production slated to begin in 2020.

Yes, Ford is moving its electric vehicle production to Mexico, but Michigan is not losing any jobs.

Redirecting electric-vehicle production south of the border is about more than shaving costs. The move will make room for the Flat Rock factory to serve as Ford’s “center of excellence” for autonomous vehicles, Ford President of Global Markets Jim Farley said in an interview.

Ford will boost investment in that plant to $900 million, from $700 million originally planned. The investment will result in 850 new jobs, up from the 700 jobs Ford pegged previously under the original electric-vehicle plan for Flat Rock.

In fact, Michigan could potentially gain 150 jobs more than if planned. So this still qualifies as MAGA biotch MAGA!
