Free Press F-150 repair article
averagengineer replied to HotRunrGuy's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
I seriously hate the UAW, i'm stereotyping but as someone who used to work as an engineer at Ford and visited their plants across multiple continents for launches the UAW workers are the absolutely the worst. The Mexican and china workers are infinitely better so I don't blame ford 1 bit. This idiot "Scott Sawatzke" saying misinformation to the media is why he and all his UAW numbskulls will be out of a job in a few years. I really think all the Detroit OEMs who have union workers all have a death sentence because they are going to get crushed by new players who dont have to deal with the stupidity, corruptness, and laziness of the UAW. -
None for me, I own a 18 Mustang GT and putting my reservation in Sunday for a ER Premium. This will be good for Mustang in the long run. Mustang sales are going down, it's a 2 door vehicle, increasing C02 emissions target, etc. I actually think this is going to save Mustang. Leaving everything as is would surely lead to a long slow death

Hard disagree. They use fake plastic leather EVERYWHERE. Deleted the cluster for cost saving (cheap), fake wood trim, cheap piano black painted plastic in center console, Those wheel aero covers look quite cheap, don't get me started on the paint. Look up pain quality issues and you'll be shocked to see how thin Tesla paint is. The fact that they dont evnn bother to paint areas that are covered speaks a lot. https://www.thedrive.com/tech/29257/finnish-tesla-model-3-inspection-reveals-soft-thin-under-spec-paint

2021 Bronco Sync start up screen?
averagengineer replied to silvrsvt's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
this will be used on the Baby Bronco, dont know about actual Bronco. Anyways ive said to much already. -
Ford insider here. They are 100% off on the F150 Sync screen, its nothing like explorer. It's actually a huge horizontal screen thats impeded in the IP. There will be a digital cluster. Ive actually seen all versions of the production version F150 and the interior is best in class luxury and tech.

Mach E will have 2 battery backs, one will be 300 mile long range and the other most likely 3/4 if the long range pack. 45K starting for Mach E? Sigh i was hoping 39-40k starting, 45k is out my price range.

Mach E battery range about 330 miles
averagengineer replied to mackinaw's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
I mean I work on the Mach E. Should I believe the meetings im in or some random broadcast that has 0 internal Ford information. It's 300 miles EPA and 370 miles WLTP, I'm sure. -

No its 300 miles range EPA target. Ford said this numerous times and it;s literally on their US website. WLTP and EPA are different test cycles and not equivalent -
Ford Mustang Mach E and Baby Bronco
averagengineer replied to averagengineer's topic in Ford Motor Company Discussion Forum
It will be capable off road. It will have driveline control module and e locker disconnect (forgot if just rear or front as well). It will be able to rock crawl as well. Interior is nothing fancy but more fore utility, storage, and very easy to hose down if if gets dirty off roading. -
Ford Mustang Mach E and Baby Bronco

Yup there will be a performance version (Mach E GT) just like the mustang. I think it's going to inherit the mustang magnaride suspension as well some other ford performance hardware. 3.5 sec 0-60 is the target im hearing for the GT variant -

Honestly dont know much about mustang atm but what you said is my current understanding as well. 23 MY/s650 should have a MHT (hybrid) that will be crazy. Think Lincoln aviator GT power train, not sure if it will be a plugin but a V6 or maybe even v8 with electric motor sandwiched between the engine and 10 speed tranny. The toque on it will be mind blowing -
Ford Mustang Mach E and Baby Bronco

The design is a knock out im my option but aesthetics are subjective. Very few hard buttons inside, threes a small digital instrument cluster and a HUGE infotainment screen that will feature SYNC 4. Embedded on the bottom of the in the infotainment screen is a contextual rotary knob. There's also a glass roof option which ive seen. Interior is a minimalist but sporty design. -

Similar interior dimensions to new Ford escape since they are based on same platform. Exterior is more posing/boxier.
