The whole thing wreaks of showmanship and if Ford or GM did this, they would be called out big time.
On topic,
The MEB based vehicle toolkit cost a packet to develop ($17 billion) but worse than that,
VW being partly owned by one of the German states insisted on making jobs for the Union,
so the cars became labor intensive driving up the costs and slowing production - insane.
I hope Ford has the good sense to streamline production of the BEV Explorer and Capri
lest they suffer the same devastating fate as VW. It’s fun watching large corporates
twist and contort themselves avoiding the truth, it’s inevitable that things have to change

I see what you did there JPD.
You didnt mention BEV Puma.
Is there a hidden reason?
