Quite the Euro-centric article - but look at the author. We know for a fact that Ford have 2 different EV chassis on the way, and that's just for cars (Mach E) and CUV's (the twins under development); if we include F150 EV and Transit for Europe, that's 4. Yet this guy is hung up on writing down BMW's excuses for not being able to build a business case to design a bespoke chassis.

Interstate Commerce, not state's rights.

Denied by Gm and the White House.

x2 It's called Pattern Bargaining.

Since production start up is right in Joe Hinrichs' wheelhouse, he cannot be very happy about how this is going. I wish we had some insight into that aspect of this.

Thanks for the solid info. Please don't be discouraged by some of the posts around here, your info is always appreciated.

And which year will Tesla finally accomplish what Ford have been doing for YEARS - make an annual profit? Hmmmm?

That's what I meant but didn't state clearly - capacity constrained on the drivetrain.

Sorry, but if they have to put $10k on the hood to move it, they are in 'giving it away' territory. Unless Ford priced the ST with a 'built in' $10k discount (which I guess is possible).

Maybe it comes down to capacity - between the demand for F150 and the Mustang domestically, maybe Ford doesn't want to ship any overseas at the outset of sales.

Not sure about that; anecdotally, Ford seem to be having to give away Edge ST's: https://www.koons.com/new/Ford/2019-Ford-Edge-for-sale-baltimore-washington-dc-e158c8fa0a0e0ae94f85e1af515101d4.htm I'm not claiming that's a typical deal, but that dealer has nine listed at the same discount. If I were in the market, I'd be looking very hard at one of their ST's.

I guess Orkin didn't get the memo.

Not something I would have considered, but a very good point, even moreso in today's litigious sociaty.

Transit Connect?

As best I can determine, nowhere does Ford claim that the EV in the video is the Mustang prototype. That's on the rag for lazy journalism.
