I've squinted off and on long enough, I think I understand what they were trying to do. Does this help?

I think the interior looks really good! It has space and room to breath. There doesn't have to be something everywhere. Sometimes a clean surface is nice to look at. I don't understand the blacking out of the tailgate. Maybe it'll grow on me...

Give us a few more special Mach-E models like the Rally, and 2028MY with a late 2027 release will do just fine.

Same

I rarely adjust the vents in my car. I think they realized that to be true for most people.

I hear ya. None of these are dealbreakers for me. The split in the screen is wack though! There’s folding phones out here and they couldn’t do a one piece pane lol. Much more to like though then to criticize! It’ll be nice to see in the road.

lol is that an analogy for nitpicking?

Thank you for the correction! Explanation for using the same screen just boils down to cost. Lincolns lineup is less expansive than Cadillac. Cadillac has the screen in the IQ, Escalade, Celestiq, Sollei (if it goes into production). With the Lincoln/Ford screen, looks like for now we’ll get it in the Expedition, Nautilus, and Navi. IQ experience: F-word it’s huge! Too big imo. Has presence on the road but the space in the interior doesn’t justify the size. Inefficient packaging imo. UI isn’t the most straightforward but lots of features (seems like the Navi will get some of the entertainment features that aren’t enabled in the Nautilus yet). 55inch screen looks and feels very expensive. Power open and close doors are nice but finicky. Massage seats are great! Materials are fantastic though the overall interior design may be a bit busy in some areas. Love the metallic-like wood. Seeing the hood go nose up even with light acceleration is… interesting… Not as quiet and smooth on the road as i expected but good. Good power for such a heavy vehicle, seems like it has less body roll than my Ioniq tbh.

Wording used aside, I think the overall point is that we won’t see a Chevy Tahoe or GMC with the Cadillac screens and for good reason.

This looks really nice. The Escalade has better tech but I still prefer this design

Agreed! It was my biggest gripe after checking out the new Nautilus at our dealer. Really cheapens the look tbh. Poor execution. Big sign of cost cutting, shouldn’t be so glaring in luxury vehicles. And after riding around in the new Cadillac IQ, and experiencing that interface, unfortunately this new Lincoln screen just doesn’t hold a candle to what’s in the IQ and new Escalade. This set up appears to be shared with Ford too. I don’t know how to feel about that. It was impressive in the Nautilus (outside of the distracting break in the middle), it looks slightly less impresssive, and “small” in the Navigator but it works! Still, overall this is a very nice refresh!

Expect it to be a full EV with more than 200 miles.

Cool design. I agree with your interpretation of his comments. It would explain at least a small part of why some of these products we may have seen by now were pushed back; some of it is design changes.

I see Edge buyers and the Ford 3 row EV as different consumers. I'd love to see a graph of how Ford see's their vehicles offerings and how they may or may not overlap. I'm guessing the EV will be just a tad bigger than the Mach E/Model Y, but not as big as a future Explorer EV (if that's still in the pipeline).

This is kind of how humans speak to each other, we move around topics and have open discussion that are still somewhat on topic but may derail a bit. I'd rather that then discussions dying bc we can't "just talk",. Is it a file room or a forum (little joke to poke the bears <3), is it okay for things to just move freely? Not a free for all of course but ykwim. I'll follow the rules and moderations of course, but I did want to ask genuinely. I always think of these paths when you guys step in hahah.

Is this a Lincoln version of the 3-row ford ev or is this the "aviator ev" we've heard about?

I'd prefer desirable vehicles over market share. They need to do something about their quality though!! You are right about that.

I think the original lightning production plan was about 50k a year; this cut is still above that. They jumped the gun with increasing production. Sidenote, and this is just an opinion, consumers are not rewarding the automakers and its dealer network (and other companies) for (what I saw as) price gouging during the pandemic and chip shortage. I do think Farley is right in believing that EVs should be differentiated from ICE counterparts so I'm excited to see what project T3 brings! If plans dont change...

Calling this badge engineering is like calling the current gen Edge and the Nautilus badge engineering. Just not accurate.

Well, there's only two BEV pickups out right now and this hasn't been compared to them in the real world. And I am doubtful that this is in the same class as the Lightning. This may be the size of a Rivian.

Are you a designer? Design student?

That's pretty interesting! I like where it's going! I can see it something along these lines actually working really well commercially despite being polarizing.

I'd love to see what youre working on!

It sound's like it's being done at Ford sounds like it is for efficiency, which I think it should be. Let the form follow the function.

Hahah that's funny. I am curious of how it will perform in real world! It has to be good. It can not just be something to look. Reviews should be happening in the next couple months.
