Well, it was in response to the post about how 99% don't use their $100k truck for truck stuff. I just wanted to show that some people actually use their $100k trucks for truck stuff.
Ooo! Ooo! Does this mean I get to post pictures of my soon-to-be 20-year-old Tacoma with loads of humus, soil, and gravel in its long bed? It was like 25% of that. :p

Patrick, thank you for sharing. I’m cautiously optimistic based on your reporting. To be honest, I have fully expected Ford to quietly exit the EV business, leaving a few token hybrids/plug-in hybrids behind. I just don’t think the current environment is nurturing to the development and growth of the EV market. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
Give it another 4 years. Or 3.5

I'm fairly convinced it'll be a platform announcement and not a vehicle unveiling. Part of the platform, though, could be either a consolidation of all the various modules into a single module or far fewer modules, plus Ford assuming responsibility for the programming of that module. I rather doubt that Ford will suddenly reembrace vertical manufacturing. The world doesn't work very efficiently or well that way, despite some politicians' vehement desires to the contrary.
This also could be time for model e the California division of ford to show off what they've been working on for the last couple years. And that's affordable EVs

Got to say I'm actually a little excited about this

Farley has outright said large EVs are a baaaaad idea and I agree with him. While I would love for a Ranger Raptor EV (the gas one is awesome) it would be very pricey. Large batteries are expensive and large vehicles have terrible efficiency due to poor aerodynamics.

My guess: 800V LFP based Focus. $30K new. One trim. 300 miles of range.

No, no, no. This is modern Ford we are talking about. They will offer at least 5 colors. Gray, silver, Azure grey, iconic silver, Marsh gray.

Naah, that would be some fruity form of off-white. They only do white on trucks and vans now. 😰🐩

I hope it's a low cost Model E so they can shove it right in fElon's fascist face.

EDIT: The stream will be public. Signing up will ping you when it's scheduled.

For those of you that want to tune into the livestream of the event on August 11, you can register here. I've been told this will be the only place we'll be streaming it from.

"Ford President and CEO Jim Farley, other Ford executives, and special guests will be in Kentucky on Aug. 11 to share more about the company's plans to design and assemble breakthrough electric vehicles in America."

Thanks Brian! I’ve registered although none of the categories describes me (no ā€œshareholderā€?). I am disappointed that there won’t be a public webcast, the way there was for the Mustang Mach-E šŸ˜•
