150 million lines of code in a Ford F-150? How is that even possible? A Volvo with 100 million lines including 3 million functions. This sounds like generated code to me. I can’t believe this is handwritten or even necessary.

Easily. There are lots of MCUs, and the "infotainment" unit contains big amount of code including an OS like linux or qnx or android.
Yeah they must be including all underlying os and libraries in that LOC not to say that it's all official Ford created code. Still insane tho
A lot of that is third party libraries, same as with PC and phone software. And the OS itself.
