So the CD6 Explorer is getting replaced by this in China? 

> Manufactured by Changan-Ford > Successor of the Explorer. > Based on a locally developed NEV platform. > EREV and EV versions. > Code name: CX810. > ADAS with lidar. > Estimated size: 5.2 meters long, 3.1 meter wheelbase. Launch in Q1, 2027.           https://www.sina.cn/news/detail/5338056771243323.html    

Hard to determine if they're not selling well because of styling or platform (broad "performance", or lack there of)

Yes, MEB is a middling chassis that is not at all inspiring - I would think the UEV chassis would turn it around. I actually like the style of Euro Capri and Euro Explorer....

Yeah, I thought it was funny they just stuck stickers over the Tremor badges.

WTH-Camo stickers over stickers? LOL   I see the Ford badge got camo'd too-its like someone was bored and decided to slap random shit on it. 

EV Exec Says Ford Fathom Should Be Plugged In Whenever Pickup Is Home   "You, you can cycle it as many times as you want, and there's also a magic that you get, which is every time you go home, we're going to encourage you to plug in," Alan Clarke, vice president of advanced development projects at Ford, told GreenCars in a recent interview. And, you know, with NCM vehicles, which are most of the vehicles, more than 90% in the US, uh, you're encouraged like, 'Hey, just stay below 85% state of charge mostly, so that way you don't deteriorate your battery.'" "That doesn't feel good as a consumer. It is a trade-off you make, and we're going to do the opposite. We want you to use the extremity of your battery because our range estimation actually gets better the, the more times you charge to 100%. And so from an algorithm standpoint as well as from, like, a customer use standpoint, every time you get in, we want you to see all of the range that you paid for showing on, showing on the UI, which is a good feeling, right?"

Yeah....let's hope it's worth it, otherwise they've set themselves up for an underwhelming debut from oversaturation.   Also.....waiting another 3 months at least is annoying.  Isn't it going on sale in 2027?  Makes me wonder if it's toward the end of the year....     Yeah, even EVs need front air intakes for cooling/AC
