How many Ford sedans do you see on out there compared to Toyota/Subaru/Honda/etc? You know why? Shitty reputation. Transmission issues, class action lawsuits, etc. I'm looking to buy a car now and have a multiple friends who bought cars recently. None of use even looked at a Ford. We'll see if they can build their reputation in the EV space. (I assume they have a better reputation with pick up trucks)

Ford dominates in trucks. The F-150 has been one of the best selling vehicles in North America for decades. And yes, Ford sedans suck, which is why Ford is focusing on Mustang (both the EV and the ICE) and SUVs.
