It's like combining Mazda and Ford back when Ford owned 33% of Mazda.

When on the road (not charging at home) the gasoline cost for my 300 miles in the Elantra was about $22.90 (at current inflated gas prices).  For a Tesla Model 3 the charging cost at a Tesla charging station for my 300 miles would be about $13.77. On my road trip I would happily fork over the additional $9.13 for the convenience and time saving. Driving in my home town and charging in my garage the Model 3 easily wins. In my Escape PHEV I get the advantages of both.   Charging cost by model (US average, home charging) Model Efficiency Per mile Per 100 miles Full charge (approx.) Per month (1,000 mi) Model 3 250 Wh/mi 4.6¢ $4.59 $11–$14 $46 Model Y 280 Wh/mi 5.1¢ $5.14 $12–$15 $51 Model S 300 Wh/mi 5.5¢ $5.50 $18 $55 Model X 340 Wh/mi 6.2¢ $6.24 $18 $62 Cybertruck 470 Wh/mi 8.6¢ $8.62 $23 $86

We keep hearing that Hyundai is close to passing Ford but that’s not true. Hyundai and Kia are two separate companies. While they share a lot of engineering and Hyundai owns part of Kia, they  are not one and the same. We don’t combine sales from Subaru into Toyota’s totals. Why are we combining Hyundai and Kia?

That would be my guess if it is a hybrid power train. But, I'm also wondering if it could be the 2.7 Ecoboost being replaced by the 3.0 Ecoboost like is happening with the F-150.

Indeed, it’s a strong signal of Ford’s  intent to strip away sales that add little to the bottom line. That and ongoing external issues like Aluminum supplies thst are hurting Ford’s sales.    GM seems to have suffered a similar decline in sales but most likely due to different reasons.   No matter what manufacturers do, things are tough at the moment

Government fleet sales are completely different than mass rental fleet dumping.

I think this is him.   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv6qItYDf40FBxbLdDex_lQ

I think it will because they're already seeing the financial benefits.

Exactly.  I'd say he's 85% right but if you dare question him on the other 15% or point out his mistakes then he gets his panties in a wad.  He just enjoys being the guy who knows more than you do.    Fun fact - at one time he made youtube unboxing videos.

I'm talking about small volume high performance versions - like a new Focus RS but tied to WRC.
