I totally agree and that’s why a lot of people at OAC were pissed off that ford killed the edge and nautilus there when they could’ve went hybrid earlier. Most of the people at the plant were wondering why ford didn’t go hybrid route first. It amazes me that people who aren’t corporate have more sense than these bigshots at times it seems

Count on Ford to kill another popular name plate, I wonder how many years those workers will get kicked out when they cancel the escape. Hope this skunkworks product that they’re developing is a real winner.

I have a picture of the frame but I will not show it I’m too chicken shit. I’m not getting fired for leaking some picture although the product is dead. I don’t know what ford corporate eyes are in this group. I’m already off work til 2026 don’t need to get fired!

It’s also gonna cost them 2 billion in costs for cancelling the program. I questioned why blueovalcity was even needed but I suppose it makes sense as it’s near battery plant. Fords changing plans too much maybe they’re coming to their senses now. I hope so at least!

We all felt it would’ve been a disaster that ford went through with these vehicles whether at Oakville or another site. The Lincoln may have been nice but a low volume Ford is a disaster when it’s supposed to be the main product in a plant with a Lincoln product. It would have been a massive disaster. Seems like Ford is making some better decisions lately, or am I giving them too much praise lol.

It was posted in Oakville private Facebook group but it was taken down prior to the super duty announcement. I seen it I wouldn’t go that far.

Yup and because of this strategy the Edge is gone and we’re getting a Chinese Nautilus. Totally unnecessary cancellation in my opinion. Anything ford says now I’m thinking in my mind well that can change! It shouldn’t have taken them so long to develop a three row EV. It’s all about cost I suppose. I seen the frame of the 3 row. It wasn’t revolutionary but it wasn’t as horrible as it looked under the tarp. Anyways, I hope the low cost strategy and their strategy going forward works.

I once again have to give you credit because you said awhile back you believe these products were gonna get canned and now they are!

lol that’s clearly a Santa Cruz Mach E mock up! A VERY bad photoshop indeed!

It was a travesty and I heard workers at the plant addressed there concerns to Ford but it was supposedly too late. Ford proceeded to knowingly launch new products with known major issues.

Yes it was, I’m talking about global markets excluding North America moreso Europe.

In my opinion the focus and fiesta should’ve never been cancelled in the first place. I know about the transmission fiasco but the European Focus is a nice vehicle. If they come back in EV form I think Ford is coming to their senses abit.

EV trucks are a long long way away to achieving ice pick up sales. The T3 isn’t replacing the f-150 anytime soon.

That makes sense to me, maybe abit of overlap for a year but that’s it.

Ford will have alot of truck plants. I can see all EV truck production eventually at Blueovalcity. I can’t see Dearborn building that old lightning long term.
