FPT is included in the deal.  As far as Otosan is concerned who knows at this point, but I am sure Tata would be interested in it as well.  It's a good fit for them.   Pretty eventful year with the Daimler Truck/Hino deal.

Wonder what this means as far as Fiat Powertrain or whatever they call the engine business.  And what does this mean to Ford Otosan??

But at what cost? And to how many people?  The big winner if it happened? Probably MultiMatic😎

Do you need one?  If so, let us know.

Yeah, if it were a Tesla I’d say absolutely, but Nissan seems more straightforward and reliable with information. 😀   The Nissan Leaf has most recently been offered with a base 40 kWh standard battery and a 60 kWh on the “+” models, so the precedence for two battery packs has been around for a long time.  In early years the Leaf had as little as 24 kWh packs IIRC so Nissan apparently not afraid to push lower driving range limits.  The new S+ will have 75 kWh, so the future 52 kWh “late-availability” base model would be in line with their roughly 2/3 capacity.  Cost of a base model is what intrigues me most.  Using 2025 SV+ as reference it suggests a base 2026 could be as low as +/- $28k.  Just a rough guess though since we don’t know what else has changed.

You were right. Just talked to a guy from Louisville and they have SRI packages. Yawning though, because it’s only $50K again. Outta 4,500 only 69 took it. Of course only Ford and their local union knows how many were eligible. 

If it's like an actual supercar concept, it'll probably look pretty badass. If it's something that looks like a te1 racing truck, it'll look pretty goofy. I like the idea, I do not like how the TE1 looks, so hopefully it doesn't pull styling inspiration from that. 

Most supercars can drive over 200 mph, but most don't leave a garage. People buy it "because it can", and not actually do the thing it can do. I'll bet most Broncos don't leave the paved roads either.

I wonder if it’s a different “off road” trim than tremor. Solely based on every other tremor having the copper/yellow accents rather than blue.    Perhaps we’ll get a refreshed lightning sooner than later with the new model delayed. Updated interior and perhaps a slightly larger battery for the long range.    Does anyone know if there is room for additional battery capacity?
