The Terminator name making a comeback could be a good fit for this thing. 

The problem with Tesla to a degree is the lack of diversity in their product lineup. A cheaper product from Tesla will just hurt 3/X sales because it won’t be that much different from them and be more appealing to customers in price. I’m sure the S had some sales taken from it the 3 also.    The cyber truck was an attempt at diversifying the lineup but just did everything wrong.

Should work just as well as those botched rear window tint jobs with thousands of air bubbles,

And this is a real world issue, no matter how efficient a heavy utility is, it still uses X amount of fuel. Looking forward to hearing your experience with Maverick hybrid fuel efficiency - guessing big difference.

With a 70% drop in profit, I think Tesla has some big issues to face. Yes, a low cost 3 is a quick go to replacement for the proposed low cost BEV but either way Musk needs to be back at Tesla.

I just traded my 2023 Explorer Timberline for a 2025 Maverick AWD Lariat hybrid....the Explorer was nice, but could not get over 23 MPG even if I drove it off a cliff....

Looks great!  Any photos of the rear and interior?   I saw a black one the other day on the road, so it was hard to gauge how the rear panel truly looked since it all blended together.  I was surprised how upright the rear looked.

My brother has put wrap on the bumper caps of his truck and it was a pain and involves a heat gun to get it to go around the curves.  Granted, these panels are mostly square/flat, but still.  I can't imagine trying to do the entire vehicle yourself.

Seems out of context given Pantera was a very rare and mid-engine car with limited engineering and testing compared to most vehicles from the Big Three.  Having said that, modern cars have better engineering and build quality in large part due to advances in science and technology.  Where I think cars from the past were better is that when things went wrong, and they did, it was much easier to troubleshoot problem and fix it quickly and cheaply by pretty much any competent mechanic.  The idea that a car would be out of service for a week or longer waiting to get fixed was unheard of unless it needed an entire engine rebuild, and even then a good  shop could often get a car back on road in a few days.   One example of difference is that when old cars overheated due to a radiator leak or whatever, the cast iron block and heads were rarely damaged.  Years later when aluminum heads and blocks became common, overheating an engine could lead to much more expensive repairs.  Not suggesting we go back in time, just that comparison is not simple and straight forward.  There are pros and cons to both old and new.   I've always leaned towards combining as much simplicity like in the past with modern engineering and technology, when possible and practical of course, to obtain the best of both periods.
