Which is my point, why even report on what he is saying here since the vast majority of the time it is wrong. 

...and he has all but abandoned BON and does not comment here to offer his "insight". You have to go to GMI to see his latest prognostications about Ford. 

Anything he says you have to take with a grain of salt-I don't even see why we should be talking about him because most of the time he's wrong. 

maybe you missed the timeline-but this was shown over a year ago on Linkedin.   I think your reading into it way too much. 

I wonder how states that test emissions are going to handle this. Technically the ICE(G?) isn’t driving anything. It’s a generator not an engine…    Our state DEQ requires emissions testing every two years for gas vehicles. But there is no requirement to have your generators at home smog checked. 🤔

if BORG is to be believed, those sketches are just sketches and not reflective of the actual design.

“Render” is an ambitious title. I used MS Paint.

There is a reason why the “3 row EV” design was published.   CE1 truck design is finalized and Ford wants the public to get acclimated to this styling direction.  I don’t hate it, but I’d rather see something more radical and similar to the CE1 truck sketches.  

Interesting fact, China is banning all non-mechanical door handles as of 2027, the issue is safety, electric operated door handles make rescues harder in a crash situation.

My point is electronic doors cost more, are less safe and less reliable than a mechanical door. China is actually banning them starting in 2027 due to safety concerns. I think there is a very tiny aero advantage, but it’s so small that you wouldn’t even notice (I read somewhere that it’s like 1-4 miles on a vehicle with 300 mile range). I think the only reason they are used is for looks and to make the vehicle feel more premium, which doesn’t make sense if you are making a low cost EV.    I’m also not a fan of only having a center screen. I think the mach e’s set up of a large center screen with the small screen above the steering wheel is much better. I hope this doesn’t mean it’s not going to have buttons either.
