Still such a dumb name

That one and the other one 

Is there any new intel on what the two new Lincoln models are?

Maybe a fair compromise would be if manufacturers produce a fair percentage of completed vehicles in the U.S. there won't be additional tariffs on the parts that go into them. Like because the mustang is produced in Michigan, there won't be 25% tariffs on the 5.0 coming from Canada to the U.S. to go in the cars.    That strikes a good balance of encouraging industry that supports the U.S. economy, without being overly unreasonable or harsh towards crucial industries.  I'm far more concerned about this tariff on components than I am about a tariff on completed cars. What we have now isn't ideal, but won't destroy Ford seeing as most of their iconic vehicles are produced here.   But if tariffs on all foreign components go into effect, that's gonna destroy the industry. That will make literally every car more expensive, and I just can't get behind that. 

I know we're all tired of Ford changing their plans around, but with maverick and BS demand being off the charts, and the struggles with larger, more expensive EVs making the high production capacity of BOC seem far too optimistic, would Ford consider moving all of CE1 EV production to BOC, and focus Kentucky entirely around building more C2 products?    It just seems like BOC is far too excessive for the types of consumer demand T3 is likely to experience, so moving high demand CE1 products there makes a lot of sense, and that clears up plant capacity for Kentucky. I know that's a lot of work, and might not be worth it with how quickly everything is changing, but it's just a thought. 

With due respect, we got way off my point (opinion) that prospective BS buyers will not likely be discouraged all that much from buying because HEV or PHEV are not available; particularly in a soft economy because there is no clear economic winning option.  Most people I know are not that rigid that it’s all or nothing.  For some buyers upgrading to a hybrid or PHEV from the base vehicle can be a preference without being a necessity, especially when return on incremental investment is marginal at best.   Below is a good example, Toyota RAV4, which is available as base, HEV, and PHEV.  I’m sure some buyers want a hybrid or else will walk away, but many others will see hybrid savings are no big deal.  That’s not to say environmental or other reasons won’t play a role.        

Confirmed.  I worked at a furniture store in college.  We bought some cheap wingback chairs and marked them at $99.  Nothing.  Raised them to $300 and sold both in 3 days.

Maybe there’s a simpler way for Ford to negotiate this with the government as equal or adjusted trade between Ford US and Ford Canada.   Example, for every ten F150s that get sent to Canada, Canada can send eight Super Duty into USA. Just thinking this could be sorted on a case by case situation and the spirit of USMCA?

Correct, that’s retooling to produce the CE1 electric Pickup, Utility and hopefully van  I wonder if it’s possible to produce C2s on the same site as complementary products.  

The Ranger Raptor and SD Ranger  are now just as wide as the F150 thanks to the pushed out wheels and wheel arches. and it wouldn’t surprise me that the weight of SD Ranger is very close to F150, all things ot be considered…
