CNBC's Jim Cramer sat down with Ford CEO Jim Farley on Tuesday to discuss the company's earnings, future, electric vehicles, deal with Tesla and more at Ford's headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan.
"I have no problem being opportunistic when it comes to advantaging my customers," Farley said.
During negotiations, Farley said Tesla CEO Elon Musk was respectful, but "more because of Henry Ford than Jim Farley."
The company split off its EV undertaking from the rest of its vehicles, and Ford now has three main sectors: Ford Blue for its conventional vehicles, Ford Model e for its EVs, and Ford Pro for its commercial vehicles.
"We believe in American-made BlueOval city in Tennessee or Kentucky-built pick-up truck, EV pick-up truck, people will pay for that American technology."
