And Apple and Rivian and several other high tech companies. Not just Tesla. This is what gives me hope that ce1 will be truly revolutionary.

Now that I agree with.

Sorry I misread.

I've never defended decontenting for useful features. It sucks. But most Ford prop rods came that way from day one and it's true that most people don't care. You're the one who obsesses over the tiniest details. I explain why Ford makes certain business decisions and I guess being in a fortune 50 corporation for 38 years I understand and accept those decision more than others. But certainly not everything and we've discussed all the royal fuck ups lately.

The brand didn't fail. It's still online.

HP has far more advertising oomph than torque and more low end torque usually lowers peak hp. There is probably an emissions advantage as well.

Clickbait. Why would Ford release new photos of a secret product?

One would assume they've figured out how to lower costs since then plus there is the rumored midsized rwd SUV that would also share the platform and add a lot more volume than just the cars. It's just a different environment now.

I think the problem with the Lincoln LS was Jaguar wanting exclusivity. They forced Lincoln to drop the v8 stroke by a mm making it a 3.9L instead of 4.0L and would not allow a supercharger. I loved everything about my 2000 LS v8 sport except the cheap dash. I think the issue with making a 4 door S650 is too much extra weight because it was designed to be a 2 door ragtop with a lot of reinforcement. Not that itcouldn't be done. I think cd6 would be a much better starting point.

Rumor is it's half the size. If you charge at home it's probably fine and for longer trips you use the engine. But I also wonder if this is a solution nobody is asking for.

They also changed the water pump itself which reduced failures.

The water pump issue was all transverse 3.5L engines - turbo and NA.

Exactly!

You don't have Borg's xray vision that can see through camouflage?

Loved our 99 Eddie Bauer expedition.
