RickinLA Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Recently read (and I don't take this as gospel) in Wikipedia that: "The plant is planned to produce electric vehicles and assemble batteries, starting from 2025, after a major retooling from 2024. Government of Canada and the province of Ontario are responsible to contribute a total of C$500 million." https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/ford-oakville-electric-vehicles-1.5733943 So with that, Is there a future for these models after 2023?

escapeman Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 There seems to be two conflicting answers to this. 1. That Edge is gone after 2023, Lincoln keeps the Nautilus in Oakville till end of 2024 MY, assembly in China and Imports to NA after. 2. Both are done like dinner , and replaced by electric built at Oakville or elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, I think the Edge and Nautilus will be replaced with a Fusion Active- type vehicle built in the USA. The D-Segment ICE market is too lucrative for Ford to abandon in the near term.

Edge and Nautilus are not built in the USA to begin with, maybe you meant to say North America....which would include Mexico....jus' sayin' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it was made in China there's a big difference between $300 and $60000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving Nautilus and/or Edge to China is not putting any Ford employees out of work because they're being replaced with BEVs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
