DequindreToo Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 The Lincoln brand is rumored to be the first to gain a new battery-electric vehicle based on Rivian’s skateboard electric vehicle architecture. The rumor comes just a week after Ford Motor Company announced a $500 million equity investmentinto the electric vehicle startup company. Ford disclosed plans to leverage Rivian’s platform for a Lincoln product at a recent employee town hall regarding the Rivian investment, according to sources in attendance. Details of the vehicle were not disclosed and, frankly, likely still being worked out between Ford and Rivian given the newness of the deal. http://www.autoverdict.com/ford/lincoln/rumor-mill-lincoln-getting-rivian-based-ev/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I wonder if this will be the model Borg mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinaw Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Probably not. Borg/Assimilator left BON well before the Ford/Rivian tie-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about a new one he's been talking about recently on other sites. He said there's a new larger Ford EV and Lincoln counterpart coming.

This time I think it was because he was adamant Lincoln wasn't getting an EV, and we were saying how that didn't make sense. And now he's saying Lincoln's getting an EV... 2 hours ago, Trailhiker said: Wait a minute_____There are other sites worth reading besides this one! Honestly, not really lol.

They did that already, and it didn't sell well, not to mention a Platinum, KR or Limited F-150 is better equipped than most Lincolns.

RadicalX Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I believe that the skateboard platform should serve the next generation of Nautilus, which is the CUV immersed in the most competitive segment and with dimensions close to the EQC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
