Well BOC and the battery plants should be actually making product instead of spending money to get tooled up to make that product, so that is a huge change right there.
The new design didn't stop me from ordering one yesterday....2025 Maverick Lariat AWD Hybrid, 4K tow Eruption Green....the one I looked at on the lot on Saturday was dealer traded when I went back Monday afternoon....
Hopefully the additional/next-gen products will help them acheive that.
I think we also have to remember that it took Tesla years to break even, without the benefit of ICE products to fund them.
Haha, I watched longer than I care to admit......like watching a train wreck.
I just don't understand 1) who thought of that and also 2) who approved it?
Maybe production pause and/or new models are trickling into dealers? Only thing I can think of.
That was my point in one of the posts either on this thread or another (can't remember which) - Ford slams the brakes on plans and then leaves major gaps in product cadence, and then pushes their refresh into what should be a redesign timeline. If they followed the 3/6 refresh/redesign timeline, the refresh should've happened for '23 or '24 at the latest, with a new model being for '26 or '27 (granting an additional year because of covid), but for some reason, they keep going long on Explorer redesigns, and I think they've been lucky with sales remaining stable.
I still personally believe the Explorer’s lack of substantial change is a compounding factor. The 25 should’ve been an all new model not a midcycle refresh. It’s one of the reasons I’m not buying one.
