I still say it's a small unibody pickup.  Bronco pickup would not be "affordable" but I do think they might do both.

I'd have liked to have seen T3.   I have to assume they took some T3 elements and put it into the regular F-150, since it got pushed back too?  Along with the EREV addition.

It's seeming like MAP will become Bronco+hybrid and Lincoln Bronco (+hybrid?), with Tennessee getting the Bronco truck.it doesn't make sense, but it's the only thing that makes sense with what they've stated publicly.       At the end of the day, we can discuss this a ton now, and they'll rip up this plan and start over in another year and a half, in typical Ford fashion.  At some point, they need to pick a direction and stick with it/see it through.

I joked over at GMI that Ford's list of cancelled products over the last 5-ish years is longer than their current portfolio of vehicles lol.

Battery prices are falling fast.    Generally speaking, Ford's advantage is that the batteries are made domestically, which allows for government incentives and avoids tariffs. No, as domestic battery capacity increases, prices will continue to come down.    Globally, there is a capacity glut in batteries, which is driving down battery costs. $90 per kilowatt hour in 2026   Benefits me as I build more energy storage for my solar system. But I fear battery over capacity will have long-term consequences on electric vehicles. 

RIP      

Ford does not fully understand BEV buyers (how can anyone) so it is making CE1 affordable with a modest sized battery but I bet that most buyers will want/expect the long range battery as a default standard.

They are, that’s why T3 was delayed for three years.

Just as a response to this, I thought that was the case, but I saw a comment from BORG that said t3 and the EREV F-150 were two entirely different things. 

You know, I really thought I had all the answers about why for left the heavy duty truck market.  Even though I was there at the time, so to speak, evidentially there was much I didn't know.  Luckily I found the following video.  What an eye-opener!
