  1. This is how you keep it at $30k. Maybe there will also be an upgraded version.
  2. Same way they currently test PHEVs. In GA they just check OBD-II not tailpipes.
  3. It will absolutely be street legal. They're already taking orders. The GT mk IV however is track only.
  4. They're trying to figure out how to get an even larger motor in there. That's all they seem to know how to do - throw hp at it.
  5. MPG ICE ratings also come from the mfr following very specific rules and procedures. EPA only does spot checks to verify the mfr results.
  6. Doug's statement. He accomplished his goals and is moving on to the next challenge.
  7. There is nothing there that indicates model E will be assimilated into Ford Blue. What is changing is that many of the things learned by the skunkworks team are being rolled out across ford blue and ford pro vehicles. The skunkworks team continues as before under Clarke. The reason to separate them is to highlight how well blue and pro are doing. If it was combined it would say Ford only made 4% and hide the fact that blue was at 8% and pro was at 12% (I made those up but they're in the ballpark). Until Model E starts turning a decent profit they need to be reported separately.
  8. Can we just start calling them Subotas?
  9. Just FYI it's Field not Fields. Not to be confused with Mark Fields.
  10. Sounds to me like Doug is handing this over to his trained successor and moving on to something new. I'm optimistic it won't be a step backwards.
  11. There are rumors of a 1300 hp road supercar but I can't tell if it's real or AI crap/clickbait
  12. Lightning should have 150 miles of range from the battery before the erev has to kick in.
  13. That's weird. Just search for keypad for 2022 f150. The F150s still use raised buttons.
  14. So what's the advantage if it can't be plugged in? Driving the wheels directly is more efficient as GM found out with Volt.
  15. https://www.ford.com/product/parts?partNumber=KEP12&sectionId=324048491&make=Ford&model=F-150&year=2022
  16. It's a b pillar replacement. My sister in law did it on her explorer.
  17. Nope it's the one embedded in the b pillar. They made it dealer installable a few years ago.
