I think everyone’s trying to figure out the lie of the land so maybe start with eco conscious type posts to start … what’s happening with EV lineups , but also promote strongest product lines.
Why are cars still being made with manual headlight controls? It’s 2024—cars are smart enough to turn on lights automatically when it’s dark. Too many people drive with headlights off, and it’s a serious safety hazard. Automatic headlights should be standard in every car. Let’s prioritize safety.
How about Ford telling us why they don't make a two row SUV EV? Now we have the Jeep Recon, the Rivian Suv. Why is it that Ford is so far behind with the "skunk works"? We don't need "iconic" we need product. The Mach E is a nice vehicle but basically a sedan, and the Lightning is a pickup.
They do make and sell one, for Europe and the UK; they call it the Explorer there (different from the US Explorer), and it's based on a Volkswagen platform shared with the ID.4 and other vehicles. Here, you can get the Lightning if you want rugged utility in a @fordmotorsofficial.bsky.social EV.
The reality is that developing a new #EV platform is difficult and costly. Ford has been smart, if cautious, in the U.S., and it invests where there are market opportunities. It does fine with 2-row ICE SUVs; it is focusing now on developing more affordable #EV models.
No new EVs since 2021. Ford is not making any new ones until 2027. Battery prices down 20% in 2024. In October 2024 sales Mach E is now 5th in sales. GM is making new Equinox, Blazer EVs and Honda is making Prologue. What is taking Ford so long to make a 2 row SUV? That's what people want!
Content that shows you’re reflecting on how your company is repeating the support it gave Fascism & Nazis in WW2 with its support of DT and his crew now and stopping that. That’d be a turn up
for the books.
What is happening at the “skunkworks?” Where’s that small snappy affordable EV the smart money wants to see? @jimfarley.bsky.social @alroot.bsky.social
Electric car plans and advancements, especially discussion about battery technology. Advancements in technology in general. Performance cars and Ford Performance stuff. Lots and lots of cool car pics. Engine details and specifications (both ICE and Electric). Broncos and off-roading...
Hi @fordmotorsofficial.bsky.social want you to know my edge saved my life.I had a terrible accident and my edge absolutely did its job. I walked away unharmed.I lost my car but forever grateful to all designer-builder.

I haven't seen any postings by Ford. What is going on at Ford? Tell us about future products, EVs, etc.
for the books.
