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)

Just like the 2.7L in the Bronco? LOL IMO think most of the time problems are overstated and are just "content" for social media content creators on Youtube etc.

just for shits and grins I used google lens to look the photo up and it claims its a Faraday Future FF 91 LOL

I dunno, I don't miss the 2.0L Ecoboost my wife's Escape had vs the 1.3L Ecoboost that is in her Bronco Sport now.

Might have been this: The Lincoln Star concept The front proportions (bumper to wheel spacing) look very similar to the photo above

Man that is gonna be a bitch to do any auto body repair on!

But with city driving you get regenerative charging from braking/slowing down to help with keeping the battery charged. Once a car gets above 50 MPH, the amount of power to keep it over the speed exponentially increases, thus why MPGs drop so much as speed increases. I see this with my Bronco-its a brick aerodynamically-but I can get 20-21 MPG with the 2.7L V6 with my commute to work that the fastest I should go is like 55-60-the vast majority of the time I'm doing 30-45. I can hit the highway and do 70-75 (the wind noise from the roof racks and the car itself gets to be a bit unbearable above that) and I'm lucky if I can keep getting 20 MPG.

Yep I'd say that is it

I think part of the issue your seeing is that certain people who buy EVs are have a superiority complex that manifests itself with products like this-they are being "different" for the sake of being different. like that steering wheel design. Or ones that own Teslas and are slapping other makes names/badges on them after Elon went off the deep end in their eyes-a coworker took a photo of a Tesla X that has a Civic and Honda badge on the back of it. IMO if your that worried about your image with a car, maybe get a new one? FFS!

Good luck getting that into production without any changes Its like this And the production car:

Crap I forgot that they where using that on my favorite GM product lol

I kinda like that Mauve color-I wouldn't get it for myself-but it reminds me of the color that was on mid 1980s Pontiac 6000 that a family friend had.

well if GM didn't decide to call their mid/large CUV the Blazer, that would have been a better choice. Then again they could also go with Trailblazer, but IMO my generation knows the two door GM products that where similar to the 1990s Bronco as the Blazer too. We would be the prime target for a product like this.

I have a 2.7L V6 Bronco and I get about 21 mpg with my commute to work or about 400 miles per tank. Outside of someone living in an apartment that doesn’t offer charging or some other situation like that, don’t think 300 miles range is an issue at all if you can plug it in overnight. The range issue boils down to operating a vehicle in a different way then people are use to.
