I think the supply chains and tech for mass scale chip building are mainly in China & Taiwan. It would take a lot of time, effort and skilled labor to bring that to the US. Apple wanted to do something like that for the Mac Pro, but the didn't. In the end they just did final assembly in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestead Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Does the Escape PHEV give up storage room like the Energi does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 No, I think you lose rear leg room... early Escape documentation said the hybrid would lose leg room to the battery, but given the HVB is under the seats, I think it's the plug-in that sacrifices.

ptjones Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 I think the HVB goes where spare tire goes. Three weeks to go till my build date for FEHP. There is a member on the FE 2013 and newer Site that has a 2021 FEHP, he hasn't explained how that happened. He said he is getting 34-38 miles per charge. https://www.fordescape.org/threads/phev-driving-settings.117920/#post-1161984 Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyk24 Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Escape PHEV production? At another forum, there are members claiming to own the PHEV Escape. I can not pull any reference that the PHEV went into production at any time in 2020 or even 2021. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) I just talked to my FORD Sales Manager and he checked and found 15 FEHP within 1,000 miles from here, 10 were Fleet Orders, but 5 were dealer orders for sale. You could have your Dealer search to find one. Paul Edited July 7, 2021 by ptjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyk24 Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 When were these built? Did they sneak out the door before "true" customer orders began and then to suffer the "delay of production" orders? As for the PHEV Escape-I want 4WD capability. Will await for more information on the Lincoln version. Will wait until stock in back to normal (2023?) to avoid dealer markups. By then, BEV may be want I need if the charging network in my neck of the woods has improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptjones Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 My Dealer Sales Manager says my FEHP will be built today, and should have it in two weeks assuming they have chips for it. I'm hoping that something will finally go right. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptjones Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Yes, but it isn't over yet until I get it. I made Grill Covers over a year ago for it and My Wife bought Solar Screens for all the windows. I will be making wheel covers shortly.

ptjones Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 My FEHP is in production and I have window sticker. As of today it shows it's in production and will be delivered 8/25/21. I'm hoping for better delivery time. My FEHP is in production and I have window sticker. As of today it shows it's in production and will be delivered 8/25/21. I'm hoping for better delivery time.

62Lincoln Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Will you migrate to the Escape forum once you get it? I want to follow you once you get it - I think the Escape PIH will probably be my next vehicle too (currently have 2 C-Max hybrids and 1 Energi).

ptjones Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Well I just got called from the Sales Mgr that they have my car and going to see it at noon and pick it up tomorrow. I just got yesterday a Cash Rewards for Escape of $1250 to go with $500 trade-in bonus and zero % financing for 3 years along with the Xplan price. SM is giving me a phone # to call at FORD that might give me a discount for waiting so long. We will see. I will post pics when I see it.
