I guess they will just leave the Lincoln sign alone at both plants then although no Lincoln products are there 

Would also be nice if Ford made a kit available to convert the CCS plug to NACS for previous models....dealer installed of course. 

If the refresh ain’t happenin’ for MY27, will Ford at least add a native NACS port for  MME that model year?

Their performance expectations seem really modest. Either way I think the reason to not put the MME on UEV is less this possibility and more that the platform is seeking volume products. The MME’s sporty image both raises its floor and lowers its ceiling IMO. It’s a more specialized offering, it can’t really do 100k/yr and can’t be a priority over the CE1 Escape that could do that. If UEV is working out after the crossover, then things like a CE1 Focus or CE1 Edge/Explorer should be higher priorities. At that point you are running LAP at capacity and putting MME on CE1 carries a higher price tag due to having to retool another factory. If UEV isn’t working out then it’s tough to say anything about what Ford actually does about electric.   Maybe there is some middle case where it makes sense to use limited LAP capacity on a specialized offering like the MME, but most likely they either keep it crawling along just sprucing up the platform like its ICE brother, or they axe it after ~2030 for the CD6 thing ExplorerDude mentioned.

If my memory isn't faulty, a profile of a CUV coupe was shown/leaked as part of CE1's vehicle lineup. Perhaps that will be the next generation Capri that will also be sold here.   (once the contract with VW runs out, I expect the MEB pair to be replaced with CE1 products)

I think you are right, fleet will probably be its biggest success, but its limited range could affect what kind of businesses can use it. It’s not really made for towing, and we all know how much towing affects range, so those businesses are out. Payload can also affect range, although not as drastically as towing, but if it’s carrying heavy payloads like chemicals, fertilizers, equipment, tools, etc, you could see a 10-25% drop in range depending on the weight. Its two seat configuration doesn’t really suit rentals. Its lack of 4wd hurts its ability to replace UTV’s on farms or worksites. A Maverick would be much better suited in all of these situations.    

Well that's probably what they're doing but that's more Escape than Mustang.

Except you're not considering resources.   The EV resources are tied up both from a design and engineering and factory standpoint on the cheaper stuff that will sell far better.   They have more resources to do the ICE version and it will sell far better and share a lot with either T6/cd6/s650 depending on which way they go.     Sedan should come first and is easier but I expect the crossover to be right behind it.

The market is clamoring for EV that's both affordable (or at least achieves pricing parity with a similar gasoline or diesel powered vehicle) and appealing in terms of style, performance, and capability.   CE1/UEV products are expected to deliver on all of these measures. Additionally, the newfangled processes developed by the skunkworks for CE1/UEV should enable Ford to address its cost control issues and eventually build these products profitably.   Where did you hear that Ford doesn't expect to meet its goals with CE1? The big shots including Jimbo said CE1 products and processes represent an Apollo style mission with little margin for error. If they really expect CE1 not possibly performing as well as they hoped, Ford is in serious trouble.

What will go into Cuautitlán Stamping and Assembly Plant produces this EV and Irapuato Electric Powertrain Center makes the powertrains for it....what will become of those plants? Will they be transitioned to the UEV / CE1 chassis? Will an uprated C2 Global chassis vehicle go in? T6 production?
