I encourage you to watch the Netflix documentary on this if you can. It's even worse than that. Even if pilots knew what the system was, and how to respond, unless they resolved the issue almost immediately, there was no way to recover.
There were two 737 crashes caused by MCAS, and in the second one, the pilots knew what MCAS was, and when their plane went into a nosedive, they actually did everything right to recover from it and override the system, but they just didn't have enough altitude to pull out of the dive.
I believe they say how long it was in the documentary, but it was something ridiculous like 20 seconds. Meaning if it took longer than 20 seconds to access, and rectify the issue, that plane was gonna crash.
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 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.
