I’m not going to be overly negative here, my  concern is that Ford would already have run early clinics and have results from them…. Why is saying that he’s not sure if buyers will like them? Maybe he’s just a little nervous about the enormity of these vehicles and nothing more to it.

Hard to say, I don't think it really exists with commodity products, but for aspirational models, it's still there. For my generation, Tesla's are their dream cars, a lot of the time they won't even talk about other EVs.

I can see it going either way. These affordable EVs can find a really attractive way to incorporate radical areo into their designs, while looking a lot more striking than the small, affordable cars people are used to which tend to be quite generic. Or they could be hideous.    The guy who led the styling team for them is the same designer who worked on the most recent Ford gt, and the bronco, so that's made me cautiously optimistic.    Just like with all things in life, you look back on your mistakes, and realize they helped you improve over time. The poor reception to the styling of the three row makes you think Ford would look at that, and take a more balanced approach to future EV offerings. Areo matters, but looks matter more, and the three row proved that. It doesn't matter how good the range is, if it's ugly, it's gonna hurt sales. 

The truck reached its new home today. Now have to learn all the stuff and lots of tech.

We’ve discussed this before and I don’t think brand loyalty exists any more with younger buyers especially when price is the major factor.

I just worry about the lack of true entry-level vehicles in the fold. Getting the early/young customers is a step in the ladder of brand loyalty; but, the Fiesta/Focus are gone, the Escape is dying, and not every young person/couple/family wants a mini-pickup.

Fair enough.

The Palisades and Telluride where extremely popular in my area when they first came out and now I struggle to see them. The refreshed models went backwards in the looks dept IMO
