I find it amusing that they use the term "blindly"....

2 things that will keep me from trading my Maverick for it: limited range and slow charging. Plus the fact that ever increasing electric rates have taken away much, if not all, of the lower fuel costs that EV vehicles did enjoy. 

Or, Subaotas 

So they are Toybarus

AWD would be great.  My requirements would be it's got to be affordable, has to be built in U.S., and no all electric.  Mache-e is only electric mustang we need.  

I am retired and live in Boston but have house in Maine we have two vehicles, a Model 3 LR and Maverick Lariat.  We put about  10,000 miles per year total.  Depending on the range and towing capacity I would definitely consider trading both vehicles for a Long Range Maverick sized e-truck. I love both the Maverick and the Model 3, a vehicle capturing the best of both would be ideal for me.  

I do think there will be some cannibalization, which is why I've said, Ford can only offer so many trucks before tis just starts eating into its own sales.  Same with the affordable ice/hybrid pickup as you mention.   This is why I feel like it almost has to be the Bronco pickup, with the base price sliding under that $40k line.   Slotting another product into the Maverick/Maverick EV/Ranger size that is similar just doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah, i suppose that's also possible.

I've been thinking about this-about the rumored price of the CE1-if it is closer to the 30K market, what is going to keep people from migrating from the Maverick (28K starting MSRP) or the Ranger ($32K starting MSRP) from moving to it? Its not a bad thing for Ford to have this issue, but I truly wonder how much of an impact it will have on those two products, since its supposed to be a goldie locks sized product between them. I guess its going to have some sort of caveat that will make people have to choose between the Ranger/Maverick (say towing range) or this.   Also how does the "affordable ICE/hybrid" Pickup slot into this whole mess of product 😛  

Toyota, Oh we aren't working on EVs....comes out with four of them.   Lets see how the market reacts to them.
