To be fair, Stark County area should at least be labeled Football.
I was born in Canton and Aunt lived 1 block from Pro Football Hall of Fame. Moved to Michigan when I was 2. I love telling UofM fans that the Buckeyes are my 2nd favorite team just behind the Spartans!
I grew up two blocks from where Pro Football Hall of fame was built. The houses are now demolished.

I am sure he is talking about everyone, when your named SUV of the year sales will go up. Just keep in mind cars are not based on calendar year, so 2022 typically starts production in early Fall. So I suspect that the 2021 MY will be fully sold shortly and order banks will open again over the summer. Maybe they continue to take reservations but actual orders will not start. Even us 2021 buyers really didn't place a real order till late June 2020.

CNN got it right - No Fake News HERE, very excited for our deliveries to start flowing and of course hats off to Ford's additional success. The Ford 150 getting truck of the year was nice to see too. Remember the thread here where someone was saying Ford was going out of business.... Wonder what they think now. I was so surprised the Model "Y" didn't win :) kidding....

New video from ford.
I would love that work surface right now just so I could go and eat my lunch in my vehicle.

Yes, they are . . . and nothing going up there of any real consequence yet. Did you go to Canton City Schools or Plain? McK grad here, and Plain Local Board of Education Member. Born and raised in Canton, live now in North Canton about 5 miles from the PFHOF. Cousin went to Glenwood and played football with Dierdorf who also grew up near the Hall. The actual "Hall" is in our school district. Interesting to see other Stark County ties here.

For Ohio, there should be a limited-edition, “Roll Tide” ? update for the Whisper mode that expires in January 2022. ?
Ha. Ha. Ha. (slow clap)

I'm glad you added on the GT bit. I want it this year, and it makes me nervous that I haven't even been able to order it yet.

Perhaps someone could enlightenment me as to why Ford is not ramping up production for 2021 MME’s? Perhaps expanding to a second assembly line at the same plant, that has been reportedly earmarked for a new BEV based on the MME platform?

The reviews have been impressive. The excitement as we all can attest has been astronomical. 50k in 1 model year is simply not enough to meet the demand. As you all know I am a Ford fanboy and despise T. But they rolled out 84k MY’s last year. Not even a full year of production.

I am aware supply chain, especially for batteries and now microchips are at a premium, but if they truly want to be serious about EV’s they need to take the risk. $9 per share vs $808 per share...which one takes risks and which one doesn’t? I really hope Ford wakes up and truly invests in the MME and make it It’s flagship BEV sooner rather than later. 50k vehicles is a joke with this much press and excitement. Time to take advantage in a big way.

There just are not enough batteries, at any price.

While I agree with your general sentiment, practical limitations point to doing that with the 2022's, not the 2021's.

Remember that Tesla only has a few models. The Model Y is their F-150 in terms of top-seller. For Ford, the Mach-E is 1% of sales, so going "all in" on it like Tesla wouldn't make business sense.

But at the same time, I agree they should be looking to make 3x as many 2022's if they can.

Also, the fact that MachE customers have stuck to it through coronavirus logistics issues and delays is a clear signal that EV alternatives to Tesla have a market. My belief is that this will trigger the long-awaited inflection point from gasoline to electric (and potentially hydrogen) among the majors. IMHO, this also means that suppliers into this market (batteries, sensors, charging stations) will enjoy exponential demand as the supply chains expand and next-level technologies (lidar, denser batteries) come into the market.
