Here's a good Sunday morning read: https://www.hagerty.com/media/automotive-history/116-years-before-the-mach-e-henry-ford-built-this-barebones-battery-powered-model-t/  Below: great grandson of the Mustang Mach-e: 1914 Henry Ford prototype electric vehicle Fred Allison, electrical engineer who designed the car's electric motor is at the tiller.:

Prime example of ignoring facts.  Ford hasn’t dropped Mach E or Lightning and they’re bringing out at least 3 new EVs.  Other mfrs are bringing out new EVs and EV sales are still increasing year after year.

So in other words a Mach-E? 

Truth of the matter was turning KTP over to Super Duty production greatly increased Ford's overall F series production capacity in class 1 through 5.  Sales increased substantially.  

Umm, no. Well, CT might, but most states use objective measurements of the pavement. I actually know a little bit about this subject…

Long Before The Chevy Bolt, GM Built An Electric Egg On Wheels   Interesting and entertaining short article that highlights how long GM has been working on BEVs, in this case much before EV1.  The featured miniature car concept looks a lot like an electrified BMW Isetta knockoff, at least in principle.  GM combined the Isetta’s front door with a canopy to make it look cooler, though I’m not sure if easier to enter and exit without banging your head.   BEVs sure have come a long ways in last 55 years or so.  Too bad engineers of that time did not have lithium batteries to work with. https://www.carscoops.com/2025/11/the-2027-chevy-bolt-could-do-with-some-of-the-gm-512es-pac-man-weirdness/     P.S. — Before some of you get defensive, yes, I’m quite aware Ford had similar projects that date even further back.  I’ve posted pictures of incredibly tiny Ford BEVs before.  

On three shifts, REVC had a max. capacity of 150,000 / year. Ford was anticipating a lot more sales growth that didn’t materialise  Yes in comparison, BOC facility is massive and cannot proceed  at present BEV demand, that’s why T3 was delayed for three years but I have a feeling BOC Prod plant will be repurposed long before then, Ford needs some sort of return from it like they are doing with the battery plants… You know Ford, the plan keeps changing until it works or something gets cancelled  Ford is facing a lot of red ink but we should no more in H1 2026, too many things coming at Ford.    

Because the F-Series sales figures show that it didn’t. 

I have a 2012 Ford Focus. I had to replace the alternator a few months ago, which I did myself. The alternator has three bolts—two on top and one on the bottom (the pivot bolt) —and I tightened the bottom bolt all the way when I screwed it in. About two months later, I started hearing a metallic noise while driving and discovered that the bolt had almost completely loosened (but could not be pulled out). I screwed it back in and found that at the end of the threading, it doesn't fully tighten but instead just spins. Now it slowly loosens again and again, and I also have that metallic noise which I don't like hearing. Does anyone have an idea what I can do to keep it from unscrewing? Thanks in advance everyone.

Can you give us a few examples of BEVs that meet those standards and that you would buy?
