No mention of what product is supposed to go to Tennessee Truck Plant....

Im wondering if that CD6 Utility mentioned earlier ends up a crossover?     Ford keeps changing plans, wondering what all of that looks like this time next year…

Yea, they sure are as long as the electric vehicles are the vehicle types that Ford has a reputation for doing really well, which would be one or more of the following: Pickup truck Body on frame Commercial vehicle Iconic design The other attribute that will get those folks really interested in electric vehicles is affordability, or at least pricing parity with vehicles using other powertrain types.    Ford CE1 products announced thus far meet all of that.     Yea, your estimates align almost perfectly with surveys over the past 6 or 7 years that found between 21% and 27% of new car buyers in the U.S. really want an electric vehicle. Of course, actual EV share of total new vehicle sales is lower than that, mainly due to affordability concerns. CE1's emphasis on affordability may be able to push the share closer to 30% toward the end of the decade once Ford starts sellin' those products in high volume. 50% market share for EV in the U.S. new car market will take longer, that probably ain't happenin' until the 2030s.

A hybrid version is coming as Farley has stated. It would surprise me if we don’t see it before this new 2030 version. That’s a long time to wait given that the T6 platform already has the Ranger PHEV (for ROW). It shouldn’t be difficult to roll out a Bronco Powerboost on a shorter time line.

If the Lincoln off-roader is still in play, and according to the Autoweek article, does that mean the Lincoln version would come out first? If I recall it was supposed to be 2029. 

It’s probably going to be just a “heavy” refresh. Just try to improve the roof options, tech, etc. I definitely see a hybrid of some kind along with blue cruise.

I added a hard wired key pad. One of the things I missed. All working good.

They probably won't stray too far away from the retro design considering how well-received it is. They can get away with gradualism with this model.

I personally believe they should stick with that gen 1 inspiration, but just play with the surfaces, details, and proportions.
