It’s also hard because the newer plans are actually all the strategies that Ford was dismissing in favour of BEVs. Ford not alone with poor decisions because GM and Tesla also “lied” to everyone about $39,900 full size trucks… All of the movers and shakers got it wrong but mainly, the price was nowhere near right and that killed buyer interest.   Basically, Ford is now saying BEV is a slower long term objective while transitioning profitable ICE vehicles and buyers to everything from hybrid to EREVs - flexibility to deliver all on a common architecture.   Ford has made mention of first, scaling back the initial volume to be produced at BOC, now delaying launch of T3 by three years but the battery plants are still moving forward and anticipate JVs will sell as many as they can make (that’s where the return will be even if Ford vehicles delayed)   Ford is in essence, blowing up its own BEV plans with  CE1 now used as template for the new Electrified vehicle construction strategy, does this now make T3 obsolete? (I think so)   Flipping and switching takes time but the costs in develop vehicles seems to be greatly reduced,  I think this is why Ford won’t proceed until the foundations of new design development are in place. I think parts of T3 like batteries, motors ect will be used in upgraded lightnings as a get through until Ford developers T3 successor.   Cost is everything to Ford, and new Electric Vehicle construction and design is probably so compelling that it has caused a full reset - the cost of delaying to change is probably far less than pressing forward with three years late and out of date DOA T3 (use batteries and power train in Lightnings updates?)   Sales of batteries will give Ford and its partners immediate income and ROI on those plants even before Ford’s own vehicles are fully ready for launch.   Highly possible with least amount of change, the RWD sedan keeps raising it head every two or three years. Lots of things Ford would love to do as increasing incremental sales when combined with Mustang Coupe.     Guys, Ford constant reevaluates it’s plans, that’s why we have so much confusion, the big bet on BOC isn’t completely wrong, the vehicles and construction process now need a new direction but this can still work for Ford if it is prepared to wait until it can build vehicles the right way with reduced costs and quicker production process.   The reason we are not hearing as much as some expect is because Ford is flat out behind the cones trying to navigate a course to avoid both internal and external obstacles but this will be worth the wait. While that happens, Thers no reason why Ford can’t keep pressing forward with more hybrids and PHEVs in existing and new ICE vehicles.

For those that might be interested in using Ford's Pro Power Onboard (PPOB) to power your house this video does a fantastic job explaining PPOB. Unfortunately, PPOB is a bonded neutral generator and this fellow explains why it won't work for your house with a simple transfer switch (it is more complicated). The link below takes you to the part where he discusses powering your home. But, if you want to learn lots of good stuff about PPOB start the video from the beginning.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RKOSCdwxeQ&t=1972s

I think you are over simplifying this. I believe this collar is only a small piece of a whole house backup system. I requires an Enphase system controller and Enphase batteries.    

Not anymore.  Following Tesla's lead, Enphase has released a meter collar-based MID (Microgrid Interconnect Device), which enables the creation of an independent grid for homeowners. This no longer requires manual disconnects and other equipment, which can cost $1,000s of dollars. https://enphase.com/store/storage/gen4/iq-meter-collar

The issue with the two door Bronco is its impact to CAFE due to it being roughly the size of the Bronco Sport footprint wise, but only getting about 20 MPG vs 28+ in the Sport. 

Point being, if Ford saw that an atkinson made sense in a larger engine, they would have implemented it on their 3.3L V6 hybrid. 

Sorry, I wasn't clear.  I was trying to say I don't think the 2-door is going away just because this survey was asking about 4-door things.  I think because the 4-door makes up the vast majority of sales, naturally Ford will focus market research on it.  I think the 2-door will stick around, but I do think it'll remain option/trim limited, since it's a small fraction of overall sales........I would need more evidence to support that it's going away than just a survey not including it.
