    Hold the Phone! Ford Planning to Build An EV to Take On Bolt, Model 3

      Ford is working on a competitor to the Bolt and Model 3

    We were perplexed a few weeks ago when we reported that Ford increased the range of the Focus EV to 100 miles and not to something like 200. At the time, Ford's director of electrification said the range would cover the average commute for the driver.

     

    But Automotive News reports that Ford is working on something to directly compete with the Chevrolet Bolt and Tesla Model 3. During Ford's first-quarter earnings conference call, CEO Mark Fields said the company wants to be “among the leaders or in a leadership position” when it comes EVs. This was in response to someone asking if Ford was planning to offer a 200 mile electric vehicle.

     

    “Clearly that’s something we’re developing for,” Fields said.

     

    This is the first time that a Ford executive has directly acknowledge plans to take on the likes of Tesla and GM.

     

    Automotive News says Ford is working on a vehicle possibly named Model E. It would likely come in the form of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric - much like Hyundai's upcoming Ioniq.

      Not so great colonnade years:  1973 and 1974 Not so great next-gen years:  1978, 1979, and 1980. Consumers had a right to be pissed.  It actually cost more to go from too much (the '77 MC) to too little (the '78 MC), and that's just one example.

      I was joking. I think he hates the colonnades and the malaise era. More '76 or even '75 GP for me. I had trouble with the '77 lights up front (the center lamp in between) and the taillight medallion with the swoopy wedding invitation calligraphy inside it. I was also sweet on '76 and '75 GLMs for their borrowing from or sharing with the GP (still drool over their fully instrumented dash), but being more manageable in terms of size.

      I didnt know that.  That is a cool thing to happen.  I didnt even know that electronic communication was not allowed  Hence the camera usage being "frowned" upon...  DUH... I was fooled into thinking that because in the college ranks they allowed for this, that the MLB approved it at their level but old school mentality and teams didnt want to adopt it.   As you know, I dont follow MLB as closely as I used to. Since the Expos skipped town in 2004.  I do watch NCAA womens college softball with my daughter. Religiously I might add.    Many fans feel this way I gather.  Im in tune with the Houston Astros bashing.  I know it exists.  The way I sees it though: The MLB deserves a team like the Houston Astros.

      Yeah... I like the Colonnades and like you said, the earlier ones had a certain style on one element that the later ones screwed up but at the same time, the earlier ones had a nicer style on another element  that the later ones screwed up.  And that would be for all Colonnades across the different brands and models.

      Because of the Astros, they now allow electronic communication between pitcher/catcher for calling pitches, PitchCom.  Off all the bad things covid brought upon us, the Astros not having to face live crowds after getting caught cheating, is by far the worst.
