Ford Model E

Hi Everyone

 

An episode of Autoline Detroit is reporting that Ford will come out with a new long range all electric car in 2019.   They are going to call it the "Model E".  Great name.  Someone on the show suggested that the make the first batch of this car only in black.   That would be a cool marketing trick.

The next 10 years is going to really change the auto industry as we know it. 

 

 

There is another episode on there (a week or two ago) where they said the C-Max will end production in 2018 (I think it was 2018).  This is really talking about ending production of this here in Michigan which was announced months ago.   No talk though about production moving to Mexico.  Kind of sounds like the next generation hybrid may not be called the C-Max.

So that's what Ford is doing with the "Model E" name.  Tesla wanted that name but Ford beat them to it!  But no black only please, this is the Model E, not the Model T!  Can't wait for more details - hope there is a version similar to the C-Max or a crossover with good headroom, flexible cargo spaces and at least some towing capability.

SnowStorm predicted the End Of The ICE Age almost a year ago!

I agree, it shouldn't be black only. OTOH, they should offer a "Model T Black" version.
