The main reason for moving to the HF55 in the Maverick hybrid is that it allowed the max towing capacity to be upped to 4000 lbs for the AWD Maverick. The HF55 includes beefed-up internal gears, larger traction motors, and enhanced cooling systems. 

Bumping this as we are 1 month away from this event!   Latest update from Lincoln Addict:   The first 50 Lincolns at the 2026 Tampa Kennedy Cruise will receive a dash plaque courtesy of Michael Bradley / Lincoln & Continental Owner’s Club. We are grateful to have Michael coming down from Delaware.       We are excited for the 2026 Tampa Kennedy Cruise on 11.21… join us with your Lincoln. Keep in mind, this is a cruise paying homage to JFK’s safe visit to Tampa 11.18.1963.       Meet at Rides by The River (Tampa Armature Works). The morning event runs from 8-11 am. I’ll be there early. Plus there are places to eat there. More to come.   Follow the Lincoln Addict on his page here: Lincoln Addict   Or the Lincoln Addict Group: Facebook

Can we get one with a SpaceX package so it'll do a kick flip?

That would be fine as a Dodge product, but completely out of place for Mercedes.

Like Sherm mentioned, it could be a long shot, a very long shot, but maybe we'll get something related to the off-road raptor supercar. Ford's been talking about like 3 years now publically. So if it's still moving forward, we're probably gonna see something soon. 

Highly doubt it - I'd imagine any Mustang hybrid would be more similar to F-150 PowerBoost with the motor in the transmission (or some other upcoming system).     Great.....now I have to read all your posts in an accent 😛 

Even then, if it becomes a feature at all, it won't be street legal. There's no way Tesla is gonna make it possible to fart highly compressed air and debris onto the car behind you stopped at a light. It's gonna be track only.    Maybe the car will use GPS to know when it's on a track, and only then unlock those features. 

Looks like the R2 product launch catapulted Rivian into second place among all EV brands in August 2026:   EV market share rose from 6.2% in July to 6.5% in August, according to Automotive News data. Rivian, of all companies, climbed to second among EV brands thanks to early demand for its more affordable R2 SUV. A startup that nearly ran out of cash two years ago is now outselling most legacy automakers in the electric space.
