Nah I think he doesn't have any inside contacts anymore and since he has an apparent following that he feels like he can do say certain things. I've been around here long enough to see who actually knows whats going on and people who had information (often not Ford employees) see their sources dry up because of NDAs etc that killed information flow out. Just as an example, Premierdrum had lots of Bronco info, then the information he was putting out dried up right at launch or just afterwards. Ford will put the kabash on things. Borg has been around for a long time so I seriously think he actually has an insider information because I'm sure Ford would be figuring out who was leaking it to him.

Does it really matter? All of it is just conjecture till Ford shows it. I get people are "desperate" for info from Ford about future products, but does it actually pay the bills? All your doing is arguing over internet "clout"

Which is my point, why even report on what he is saying here since the vast majority of the time it is wrong.

Anything he says you have to take with a grain of salt-I don't even see why we should be talking about him because most of the time he's wrong.

maybe you missed the timeline-but this was shown over a year ago on Linkedin. I think your reading into it way too much.

Nah it was all about the styling of it-They went with a Mustang likeness to help with the marketing. If it looked like some of the renderings they had it would have done even more terribility

They just putting in a subtle jab because they want Ford to make them a car that no one else really wants.

it was originally an EU compliance vehicle also

IMO I think the issue with this product and other EVs: Other automakers saw the success that Tesla was having with their products and tried to replicate it. However the problem with that was they where trying to chase down a certain type of customer who was already being served by Tesla products I'm personally slightly turned off by the minimalist style and interiors of Tesla products-they look "boring and cheap" I get why its being done also (weight savings/cheaper to build) Styling has been overall disappointing with the vast majority of EVs-Kia's EV and the Mach E are some of the better looking products, but once again, the exteriors are getting hit with that minimalist style again. Once again, IMO Automakers need to stop making EVs "look different" with in reason, because there is a rather large portion of the car buying public that doesn't want to stick out or look different like say early Prius or Tesla buyers who think they are better then other people who don't have a hybrid or EV. I think that also doesn't help EV sales either.

A broken clock is correct twice a day (unless its digital and your just fucked then :p)

Here lies the problem with that, the 2.0L is only on the Badlands model of the BS. All the other models have the 1.5L Ecoboost only. I've owned several "problematic" Ford engines over the past 20 years: 4.6L V8 with sparkplug issues 3.5L Ecoboost FWD with water pump issues 2.0L Ecoboost coolant intrusion issues 2.7L Ecoboost valve All those cars went to 100K (outside of my 2.7L) or more without any of those issues cropping up, so I guess I'm a bit jaded that I think the issue is a bit overblown-I've been using internet forums for almost 30 years now and problem posts always get eyeballs on them and multiple posts of singular subject makes it seem like its a bigger issue then it actually is. I've also been lucky with the roof on my Bronco and it not doing anything funky with it cracking too...so who knows might be some luck involved there. I've only truly had one terrible experience with a Ford product and that was my SVT Focus that left me stranded a couple of times.

That is a good sign that it would have sold like crap lol

Man the comments under that where interesting...but no need to make a comment because it get ignored anyways.

It looks like what would happen if Ford told their designers to make a copy of the Tesla X and S

IMO I think they are just slow rolling it to see how the market takes to it first. I don't see a rush unless the Corsair is going away or people start showing a demand for EVs in their purchasing habits.

Yep your correct https://www.just-auto.com/features/future-ford-evs-whats-coming-when/

How would you enforce that? You can charge off a 15amp line, but yeah it takes forever, but it is doable (and I know someone who does it-they don't drive that much)
