We might get the next gen puma in the states, this is a quote from Explorerdude, a credible insider, I have to assume he's either talking about the next gen puma, or bronco sport here. Ford's own CEO has said he wishes the puma was sold here, so I'm crossing my fingers we get it next time around.
A high style sporty crossover like this AI rendering sold at a mid 20k price point would make an excellent Chevy Trax rival imo.
Basically take the curvy, charming looks of the current puma, and blend it with styling cues from the mach-e, and make it a little bigger than the current puma to appeal to a global audience.
Based on the reception theses types of revenue generators have received from the public on past attempts, getting too carried away with locking down options that many now view as standard features probably won’t go well.
Looking forward to mention of a CE1 Bronco Sport type vehicle during the August 11 event
Hopefully Ford will also be adding several models to its EV lineup soon just like Chevy and GM have been doin'. Will the August 11 event reveal specifics? Guess we'll have to wait until then...
Ultimately, isn’t bragging rights the whole point of these cars? Depending on the type of race it is, three seconds is a lot. The bottom line is, the Corvette is a better car for less money.
Louisville is slated for CE1 which is using lithium iron phosphate batteries from BlueOval Michigan.
BlueOval SK is setup to produce lithium ion batteries.
Ford signed a deal to sell lithium ion batteries from BlueOval SK to Nissan. Probably there will be other buyers too.
