The Grand Highlander remains ICE/Hybrid. I assume the RX remains ICE. I could see this picking up Tesla buyers who are done with Elon. 

Because Toyota has such a diverse lineup of cuvs and SUVs. I could see traditional buyers moving to another Toyota SUV as opposed to moving to a different brand. 

All was going according to a planned profit until the current Administration took over (and I am not blaming POTUS - just the direction away from future tech) but with all that, EV's are the path of the future and Administration's change and so will the Governmental direction. Ford is actually smart to continue to move forward with modified EV plans.....in the words of a classic disco anthem....Ain't no stoppin' us now....    

That's how it goes. With my time zone, it'll be 8-9 in the morning for me, so I should have time to watch the vid and write a summary. 

Yes, just make the last push of the button stick. Then everyone can be happy.

That is a really good question. For my situation (frequently towing a 4000 lb boat), I'd hand over my wallet to Ford for a good hybrid Ranger but a BEV midsize truck does not work at all for me. But, not everyone's situation is the same as mine.

I saw an article with a clarification directly from a Ford spokesman that it is not a reveal of the ce1 truck. Instead it will be about the technical process, aero etc. Can't find the article now.

I think you will be alright. Tuesday at 11am doesn’t seem like your normal reveal time, especially for a “model T moment” vehicle.

Don’t get me wrong, I hope CE1 is a success but I just see the whole development as being less about customer wants and needs and more about what Ford can make for higher profit.   Remember, Ford thought it was right about every other BEV it has developed so far that either  made it to market and then underwhelmed with sales or was killed in development.   What is it about a mid sized BEV pickup truck that makes it a compelling buy over say a good hybrid Ranger?  

There is a system option to turn it on or off.  Today it resets to On.  All they have to do is change it so it doesn't reset.   However I doubt they would do that.
