This may be coming sooner than we thought. Set for Jan 2026 reveal   https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a69409054/ford-new-sports-car-announcement-january/

The 4XE is required to be sold in CARB states, unless you special order. 

Your door-ajar circuit for that passenger door is causing false "open" readings. Naturally, if your car is supposed to be locked and the passenger door randomly reads as open in the middle of the night, the alarm will go off. You have a few likely culprits, the most likely being a failing door latch assembly. The internal micro-switch gets sticky or intermittent, temperature changes or vibration makes it act up, bada bing bada boom, your truck thinks a closed door is open. It could also be a wiring issue or a BCM glitch.

Don't go with the first option unless you have 2.5-5 thousand dollars laying around, and Truck A is otherwise in excellent condition and ready to be kept around for many years to come. I would 100% do the second option instead. Not only is it much more budget friendly, it's also creative and cool as heck. 

I’m surprised that Ford hasn’t offered a hybrid variant of the Bronco yet. I’m sure that it will get it eventually but I see Wrangler 4xE hybrids all the time. 

That’s why I was thinking it could be a street legal version of the Le Mans hyper car. Otherwise it seems like a lot of money to be investing into two separate high end sports cars when ford surely has other more important things to be concerned about.

This is why I have so much respect for Farley openly admitting his respect for Chinese affordable EVs. Those cars are gonna be the best affordable EVs currently on sale regardless of if Farley acknowledged them or not. He could either plus his ears and deny Ford needs to improve, or humble himself and take steps to move in the right direction. I'm happy to see he's doing the later. 

They sold 300-420K Ford Escorts in the 1980s, and its primary purpose was to be a CAFE offset to larger cars.    Your missing the whole point-Companies EXIST to generate a profit for their stakeholders, not to be altruistic to the market.   If you have limited resources, why are you going to focus on product that doesn't make money for you just to chase sales targets? Ask GM how well that worked out for them over the past 30 years.     I like EVs but also realize that you have decades of people doing something and asking them to do something different just because is going to run into resistance. I work in the IT industry and I see reactions from people/family to minor changes that cause major reactions that I find incredulous, so I can just imagine how some of these people are reacting to EVs.   Making EVs more affordable or roughly equivalent to their ICE contemporaries will go a long way in helping people change their minds.       

The answer is not "EV mandates" or regulations in general in Planet Europe, Planet America, or Planet Red China
