More like a Ford Escape 

Just FYI it's Field not Fields.  Not to be confused with Mark Fields.

That was the Ford version. The Lincoln version was not near production ready from what I understand. I only seen one code in the training cell that they had built onsite and it was u759. 

I looked up the Faraday Future upon your recommendation and it no doubt is similar to the canceled ford 3 row. 

Oh you bet that Ford cancelled because the sales projections were that bad….. They would have moved heaven and earth if there was a remote chance of recovering costs.

if true, it sounds like Ford’s market space is about to get busier.

I understand your point, however it’s more that I’m a truck guy, and wouldn’t necessarily be in the market for something like this.  I guess we’ll never know what the market thought since it never came out.

Yea, same here. Nuthin' but Ford EV for my and my wife's future vehicles.   I've owned several F-150s over the years. The one I have now is a '22 F-150 Lightning. Prior to that all of my F-150s had either V8 or Ecoboost V6 engines.    The venture capital big shot Jon McNeill said "it’s just kind of hard to defy gravity if there’s a better product that has better drive characteristics, much lower maintenance and lower total cost of ownership". In the four years I've owned it, the Lightning has proven to be just that.

Yea, good point. Also, Billy Boy and Jimbo gave Field a 4 to 5 year timeframe after he was hired to accomplish a monumental task:   Ford CEO Jim Farley came calling. He persuaded Field to come to Ford in late 2021. “Two things came through loud and clear,” Field says. “One was humility. ‘Our success is not assured.’” “The other thing was urgency. Jim and Bill Ford said the exact same thing to me: ‘We have four or five years to completely remake this company.’"   The launch of CE1 products - on time, in large volume, and with high quality - will be the primary indicator that Field's efforts to completely remake this company are a success

He's older, maybe he just wanted to retire.
