Finally chance to stuff 7.3 Godzilla in Explorer. Just kidding.   Seriously though, regardless of which party controls government, we need to think beyond CAFE and regulations that are somewhat ineffective.  IMO there are too many loopholes and unintended consequences which defeat primary goals of reducing fuel consumption and emissions.  We need a much simpler approach because existing rules are too convoluted and not working as required.

I don't believe so, I think they're separate models.   If you can get over the pig snout look it has lol.

How Much Range Do EVs Lose After 5 Years? Data Reveals Surprising Winners - Autoblog  

At a certain point, though, how much longer is longer?   It's been many years at this point and we're still a couple of years away from anything showing up on lots.   I get wanting the product to be the best out of the gate, but that's if it ever gets to market, and with tech always shifting, there'll always be a better thing, so do you perpetually keep pushing it back?  At some point, it needs to launch.

You make a valid point in that much of the investment is already a sunk cost.  Unfortunately we don’t know what overall costs are to Ford so we can only guess if profitable at all.  Something else to consider is that perhaps marketing is trying to set the stage for future models that will only have fixed glass by preemptively eliminating features on present vehicles that will be compared against later.  If a feature has marginal demand and or generates minimal profit to start with, marketing may sacrifice pano now in order to make future vehicles not appear lacking when compared. My guess is that if they are eliminating pano roof now, it’s unlikely future models will have them.  Just suggesting Ford may be thinking ahead — or not; hard to say what’s actually behind decisions when we are not privy to all information.

Agreed, but as someone who has used a Supercharger WITH an adapter, it's not a big deal.

Apparently they are now repealed   https://reason.com/2025/07/02/under-the-big-beautiful-bill-car-companies-wont-be-fined-for-failing-to-hit-arbitrary-fuel-efficiency-goals/   The issue is long term-what happens during the next administration if leadership changes. I think the prudent course is just keep what your doing mid term so your not caught with your pants down when things change
