At the dealer picking up my MME after they replaced the LVB and other updates.
Somebody here told me they saw online that Ford is discontinuing the MME. Anyone else read this ?

The first rule of listening to anything a dealer tells you is to never listen to anything a dealer tells you.

Ford said in January it would reduce production of its F-150 Lightning pickup truck, cutting production at its Michigan Rouge Electric Vehicle Center to one shift starting April 1.

Not at all. They are focused on clearing 2023s off the lots, but 2024s are shipping and the new rally model is set to ship later this year.
Ford has announced their focus is going to be on the lower price segment and trucks. It’s possible it will phase out or be re-platformed, but to my knowledge there has been no announcement.

They explained though that it’s because they forecasted like 70% growth when adding the shift and it ended up being more like 50%.

Yup. Total BS.

Some dealer told a Lightning owner Lightnings were being discontinued a few weeks back. Also total BS.

but 2024s are shipping

How do you get a '24? When I go to Ford's website, all I see is the '23 website for purchasing a Mach-E.

Yeah, between Ford sending the SuperCharger adapters and the MME and Lightning both still being well regarded products that even at lower volumes have been really good at competitive conquest vehicles, they aren't going anywhere soon. I say the adapter part because if Ford was looking to kill the product they wouldn't be dumping millions into adapters to maintain goodwill with those customers, especially on a product they may not use on a future Ford if they moved away from the MME/Lightning.

Ford may not be thrilled with the drop in demand after putting so much money in capacity increases, but it's still a market they are competitive in and they want to keep people in the Ford stable for the next gen products.

You go to a dealer. Just don’t trust anything they tell you.

I wouldn't be 100% surprised but I highly doubt it.

They DID discontinue the Route 1 for 24's if I recall, maybe your dealer read the first sentence of that email and assumed the whole product was being cut.

But they said they ordered me a 2024!

Yeah, it was a guy (pretty young) that works as a clerk in the service department. It sounded like BS to me, but I wanted to see if anyone else had heard similar rumors.

Ah, okay, now it makes sense. He would definitely be the first to know.
