I wish I shared your optimism about CE1. I’ve heard a lot of talk about this platform yet there has been very little substance IMO.  How soon will this actually be available?  I do like the fact that it appears to be aimed at the entry level, which I think is appropriate, since I think young people, who need affordable vehicle options, will be more open to EVs, but it’s still unknown how the EV adoption will play out.   Probably the biggest upcoming vehicle of interest is the Mach4, but that isn’t official, and probably needs at least a couple of years to come to fruition.  The pending GT500 will be a nice addition upon arrival.     Talks of vehicle eliminations and lack of timely new products leads to not much happening over the next couple of years, as RMC had mentioned previously, which is disappointing to me.  

We definitely need to improve the robustness of our power grid, that's for sure. I see where you're coming from, but it looks like auto and law makers alike are easing some of the pressure on evs, we'll see how that impacts their acceptance. 

Excellent additions, it's going to be a real product blitz. Beyond production cars, this is also when we're gonna see Ford jump back into F1 and prototype racing. There's gonna be so much going on we will hardly be able to keep track of it lol. 

Breaking the window isn’t extreme in an emergency. 

Car prices in general are just too high for the average income. They need to work on lowering prices on most models. 

There’s an entire generation of people whom I’ve found by and large are pretty much completely unwilling or incapable of learning anything new.    you are right about the battery thing. One of the worst things you can do to a battery is constantly keep it on a charger. It’s why phone batteries aren’t perceived to have the life they did in the before time. Yes phones are infinitely more capable than the old Nokia bricks of the late 90s and early 00s but we as a society were trained to think that phones should be plugged in overnight. I’m guilty of that too. I don’t think that’s something that can be “un-learned” as a society. 

You are exactly correct-the other issue is people believing they need to charge every night too. The issue is to get people to understand that you don't need to "fill" to 100% every time like a gas powered vehicle.  Generally people are stupid and assholes...I went through a training about AI for work and the vast majority of the articles about it are complete batshit crazy headlines with zero understanding of what it can actually can and cannot do. I don't expect people to understand that either. I see some of the very same parrels with AI and EVs   

That’s another fallacy people are just going to have to get over for mass adoption to speed up. EVs aren’t going to give you the same experience as an ICE powered car, they just aren’t and IMO probably never will. There’s only so much current you can pump into a battery in a set period of time to charge it before it overheats and potentially explodes for one. You’ll never  fully be able to close the gap on charge time vs. filling up a gas tank. That’s just physics. I believe It’s going to take at least until the majority of Gen Alpha starts driving for the culture to shift enough for people to come to grips with that.     

The other issue is this-is that the US desperately needs to start investing in the power grid no matter what, if we still want to buy things, since Chinese as a manufacturing power is going to disappear in another 10-20 years, if not sooner. Drilling for oil and burning it isn't a better idea for the environment either.    There is a bit of fear mongering/misinformation about EVs going around that are making people think twice or they want their experience to be exactly the same as a gas powered car. 

Also T3 will be making its debut before 2028   Next Gen F-series in 2028 Deep refresh of the Explorer/Aviator, maybe an EREV option on that.    Escape Replacement, maybe a larger vehicle above that.    Maverick Van   Maybe a Ranger and Bronco P/HEV also?
