The Bronco Sport should also be built in regional plants just like the Ranger. If Ford builds the Bronco Sport in Thailand for example, it can be competitively priced in Asia-Pacific markets.  PS: The only reason the Ranger is competitive is because it's built in multiple plants globally.

Heavy BEVs really change the equation. Mass disparity was always dangerous, but 9,000-lb trucks with huge power make it even more concerning today.

CT6 was the first GM vehicle to offer it in 2016 then the Escalade, XT5, and CTS got it in 2017

Wow, that's bold. 

It seems the upholstery on the new generation Platinum is not the same as the previous generation's. The leather seats are no longer called "Del Rio". Instead, they're just simply called leather-trimmed seats. You have to upgrade to the ultimate package to get "luxury leather-trimmed seats". I didn't think they would consolidate the Limited trim with the Platinum. It would have made more sense to do an XLT Premium Package instead of cheapening the Platinum.

No!

Waiting for a product that is decent and not over-priced. Hopefully, CE1 can deliver that promise. 

You say that in jest but who can blame Ford  curbing its enthusiasm in these unsettled times. BEV is becoming like the Fermi paradox, with such a huge market, where are all the buyers?

Grass roots campaign, let people find stuff on the internet and keep talking about it.

Most of Norman has been a “quiet zone” for 15-20 years. By law, the railroads had to add crossing gates on all on-grade crossings in the state around that timeframe, and they made the switch to being a quiet zone about the same time, but I don’t know if either made any difference in safety.   Fun fact: Norman was named after Abner Norman, who was a railroad surveyor (for the Santa Fe, IIRC) in the 19th century. He had a rail car with his name on the side parked on a siding after one of the Land Runs in 1889, when the city was founded, and the name stuck.
