                 yesterday that its strategy shift away from electric vehicles and toward hybrids will reduce its profit in the near-term. The decision to put its EV plans into reverse means Ford will stop producing an all-electric version of its signature F-150 Lightning pickup truck and will instead offer it as an extended-range EV that will include a gas-powered generator capable of recharging its battery. Ford CEO Jim Farley said the move away from EVs would ultimately “create a stronger, more resilient and more profitable Ford.” Its EV business had already cost Ford $13 billion since 2023, per the Wall Street Journal. The retreat from EVs puts US automakers out of step with Chinese competitors that are shaking up the industry by selling

Still, analysts were quick to point out that a little (massive) competition might not be so bad for Zillow, which isn’t very dependent on organic search traffic for its pageviews.

                  <span>
                   Companies shelled out $1.47 billion on airing holiday TV ads over the past nine weeks, which is 13% more than the same period last year.
                  </span>

                   Amazon, for example, aired its first holiday-themed commercial (the one with the dad on a treadmill) on Oct. 13 this year, compared to waiting until Nov. 1 last year—and it nearly doubled its holiday ad minutes over the nine-week period.

                 As for the people all those ads are aimed at? A poll conducted by Morning Consult for the WSJ found just 9% of consumers surveyed said they dislike holiday ads. But lots of them—including 70% of baby boomers and 47% of Gen Zers—say they start too soon.
