If that was T3, I think we dodged a bullet on that one. It looks like it has the short hood and the angled rear cab like the Silverado EV, which I think is a terrible looking truck.

I think you're seeing the angle of the sheet behind the cab as it falls down and assuming that's the cab itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeluxeStang Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) I wonder if this means we'll get a reveal, or at least a more substantial teaser campaign in the coming weeks. This could be nothing, and we just get like a close up of a door handle or something in a few days. But with them actively teasing the vehicle now, I hope it's more substantial. We know the battery type, and about the manufacturing process, roughly how big the truck will be, the price, some of the features and performance attributes. But we still don't have a ton of info on how it looks. Here's hoping the coming weeks gives us more on that.

I hate 3 spoke rims with a passion, but 4 spoke, I'm more open to. They look kinda sporty, and sharp, not the worst ev wheels I've seen. I wanna see Ford take some design risks with these CE1 products. The bronco and mustang, and other ICE products look great, but they have a pretty restrained look to them. I like that because it makes them more timeless. But I'd also really like it if Ford tried to have more styling variety in the company. If the next gen bronco and mustang still went for that timeless look, but something like their affordable EV was a bit more daring and bold with its design so you could appeal to both camps, the people who want a more conservative style, and those who want really future and bold styling.

Reports were that it reminded people of the '97-03 "aero" F-150, and that tarped model fits that description. 2 hours ago, DeluxeStang said: I wonder if this means we'll get a reveal, or at least a more substantial teaser campaign in the coming weeks.

I'd be surprised if they debuted something.......there'd be more fanfare about "debut of Ford's new CE1 vehicle!!" This seems like more under the skin discussion of the platform, maybe motors/battery info, etc. 1 hour ago, DeluxeStang said: I... I actually don't mind those wheels lol.

They do look to at least have an interesting design. I just feel like they look off, but we're used to seeing 5-spoke derivatives on just about everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel like we've already learned a ton about the engineering and assembly process, and gotten virtually nothing in terms of design. I'm hoping we get more design info just to make things a bit more balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford's $30,000 Electric Pickup Will Be Revealed Next Week - Autoblog Autoblog is reporting it'll be revealed, but I think they're assuming things. Ford's teaser specifically says That along with the actual graphics they showed lead me to believe they'll talk about some aero tricks (hence the graphics) and maybe efficiencies of the electrical architecture. I feel if it were being revealed, they'd actually show us zoomed in teases of various parts of the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they don't give us all the formal info, making us wait for a full reveal event to get things like final pricing, range, and performance figures. But they show us the design as they discuss the areo features. I just don't see how they would be able to talk in-depth about areo without showing us significant parts of the design. They could do a wind tunnel graphic like Farley teased, but having an event just for something like that would be super lame imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put it past Ford to drip feed us since they have literally nothing else going on for the next year+ at least. While it'd mean more drought, I'd still prefer them to wait until shortly before launch to debut vehicles. The whole year wait between debut and on-sale date is dumb, IMO.

They could, I'd be pretty disappointed if that's the route they took. Most other brands revealed concepts and designs for 2026/27 products all the way back in '24. Here we are in '26 about a year out and Ford still wants to hide everything. I understand not wanting to tip off your competition, but it would be wise to reveal this thing well in advance imo to increase consumer awareness and hype.

We’ll probably have a couple more of these “reveals” leading up to the debut. I see no reason to show a vehicle that’s still 15 months from production.

I think you will be alright. Tuesday at 11am doesn’t seem like your normal reveal time, especially for a “model T moment” vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I saw an article with a clarification directly from a Ford spokesman that it is not a reveal of the ce1 truck. Instead it will be about the technical process, aero etc. Can't find the article now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how it goes. With my time zone, it'll be 8-9 in the morning for me, so I should have time to watch the vid and write a summary.

Still not ready to reveal the body styling which tells me this is more about attracting buyers from outside Ford. Read into that what you will but it sounds like Ford doesn’t want critics and competitors getting a jump start and then Ford playing defence all the way up to launch….

Harley Lover Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Autoblog have changed their tune: Quote Ford Not Revealing $30,000 EV Ford Motor Company is not revealing a finished affordable EV this Tuesday, as we were previously lead to believe. Instead, the company will host a livestream titled “Ford Bounty Hunters: The Pursuit of Efficiency” at 11 a.m. Eastern, offering a deeper look at how its Universal Electric Vehicle (UEV) team is rethinking cost, engineering, and production. Rather than a vehicle debut, the event will focus on the philosophy and engineering strategy behind Ford’s next-generation affordable EV platform. The company describes it as an effort to “chase physics” — stripping waste, complexity, and unnecessary mass from the equation in order to fundamentally lower EV costs. https://www.autoblog.com/news/fords-30000-electric-pickup-will-be-revealed-next-week Edited February 15 by Harley Lover 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot based on past history. The low price and uniqueness makes it appealing for a large percentage of buyers so I expect a lot of buzz and hype and lots of initial reservations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO I don't even think Ford should take reservations till maybe 6 months before launch if there is an actual demand for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
